Evaluating impacts of rising sea-level and changing climate and land-use on water resources

A fully funded PhD position in hydrogeology is available at the University of Bristol, focusing on groundwater vulnerability on small islands and adaptation to climate and land-use change. The project will use numerical modelling and hydrological fieldwork to evaluate the impacts of rising sea-level and changing climate and land-use on water resources of a low-lying carbonate island in the Bahamas. The successful candidate will receive technical training in hydrogeology, groundwater flow and solute transport modeling, and will have opportunities for fieldwork in the Bahamas as well as domestic and international travel for research presentations and networking. The project is co-supervised by Fiona Whitaker (Professor of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol), Nicholas Howden (Civil Engineering, University of Bristol), and Jonathan Chambers (British Geological Survey). The position is fully funded for UK students, covering tuition fees and stipend; international candidates may apply if they can secure additional funding for the tuition fee shortfall. Applicants should have a strong background in Earth Sciences, Geology, Environmental Science, or related fields, and an interest in numerical modelling and hydrological fieldwork. The project starts in early summer 2025, and the application deadline is March 7th, 2025. For more information, visit the project webpage and contact the supervisors before applying. Applications should be submitted online via the University of Bristol postgraduate application system, selecting 'Geology (PhD)' as the programme.

Evaluating impacts of rising sea-level and changing climate and land-use on water resources of a low-lying carbonate island in the Bahamas

A fully funded PhD position is available at the University of Bristol in the School of Earth Sciences, focusing on hydrogeology and groundwater vulnerability on small carbonate islands, with a case study in the Bahamas. The research will use numerical modelling and hydrological fieldwork to assess the impacts of rising sea-levels, climate change, and land-use changes on water resources. The project is co-supervised by Fiona Whitaker (Earth Sciences), Nicholas Howden (Civil Engineering), and Jonathan Chambers (British Geological Survey), offering interdisciplinary expertise. The successful candidate will receive technical training in hydrogeology, groundwater flow and solute transport modelling, and participate in fieldwork in the Bahamas. The position is fully funded for UK students, covering tuition and stipend, while international candidates may apply if they can secure funding for the tuition fee difference. The project starts in early summer 2025 and provides opportunities for domestic and international travel for research presentations and networking. Graduates will be well-prepared for careers in academia, consultancy, regulatory bodies, or industry. Application deadline is March 7th, 2025. Interested candidates should review the project details, contact supervisors, and apply through the University of Bristol's postgraduate application system, selecting 'Geology (PhD)' as the programme.
