Building resilience of the railway network and climate adaptation of bridges University College London (UCL) in United Kingdom

Fully funded PhD opportunity at Brunel University of London through the NERC TREES Doctoral Landscape Award (DLA) programme. Project title: Coastal Community and Building Resilience to Multi-Hazard Risks. This PhD will investigate how coastal communities and infrastructure can better withstand interacting hazards, including flooding and other climate-related risks. The project is well suited to candidates interested in coastal resilience , multi-hazard risks , nature-based solutions , climate ad...

PhD opportunity at the University of Nottingham in railway asset degradation and management modelling, with a clear focus on how climate change alters bridge deterioration and infrastructure performance. The project is supervised by Rasa Remenyte-Prescott (Faculty of Engineering) and explores how environmental exposure conditions such as temperature, humidity, rainfall, heat extremes, and air pollution affect the degradation of railway bridges. The research aims to incorporate climate-dependent ...
