PhD in Interpretable Poverty Estimation Using AI and Earth Observation at University of Edinburgh University of Edinburgh in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in Uncertainty in AI-Augmented Climate Risk Analytics for Global Food Supply Chains . This project sits at the intersection of climate science , data science , environmental geography , human geography , information systems , mathematical modelling , and public policy . The research addresses how climate shocks such as droughts, floods, and heatwaves propagate through global food trade networks and how human decision-making under uncertainty can amplify...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in AI in climate information and communication , hosted by Leeds University Business School and supervised by Professor Barbara Summers and Dr Andrea Taylor . This project examines the benefits and risks of using large language models (LLMs) and chatbots such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini for climate communication , including how AI summarises climate information for non-technical audiences, how it represents uncertainty , and how users interpret and t...

PhD opportunity on AI and UK water security at the University of Birmingham , advertised by Professor Simon Gosling with collaborators Shasha Han (School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Birmingham), Andrew Hartley (Met Office), and Helen Baron (UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology). The project sits at the interface of Computer Science and Environmental Science , with strong links to Geography , Earth Science , hydrology, drought risk, and climate-related water secur...

PhD opportunity with Imago (SDR UK Imagery Data Service) for a project on flood mapping , earth observation , satellite imagery , and real-time flood prediction . The project aims to develop a national-scale flood mapping system that integrates satellite-derived embeddings with hydrodynamic simulations to support prediction of flooding anywhere in the UK. The successful candidate will be based at Newcastle University and co-supervised by Maria Valasia Peppa from the Imago team. This is a PhD ope...

PhD opportunity using Earth Observation and Remote Sensing in population studies. The post points to the Department of Geography and Environment application information page at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The research theme appears to combine geospatial data, population studies, human livelihoods, poverty analysis, and geographic targeting of resources for the SDGs. This is a PhD opening rather than a scholarship announcement. No funding details, deadline, or eligibility req...
