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 at the University of Leeds on climate uncertainty, compound events, and water-system impacts in Eastern England . This project sits within the UNRISK CDT and focuses on how compound climate events and High Impact Low Likelihood (HILL) events interact with natural and human water systems. The research combines climate science , hydrology , environmental engineering , data analysis , data science , mathematical modelling , and decision making under uncertainty to improve climate ri...

Postdoc opportunity at Utrecht University in multi-risk adaptation pathways for river delta systems . This 2-year postdoctoral project is based in the Faculty of Geosciences, Department of Physical Geography at Utrecht University in the Netherlands . The research focuses on river delta regions facing sea-level rise and extreme hydrological events, with an emphasis on designing robust adaptation pathways for complex multi-sectoral systems. The project builds on the Dynamic Adaptive Pathways Plann...
