PhD in Seamless Regional Climate Prediction, Uncertainty, and Adaptation Decision-Making University of Leeds in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds on Prioritising Conservation Planning Amid Climate Uncertainty . This project sits within the UNRISK CDT and focuses on how to prioritise habitats for conservation when decisions must account for biodiversity loss , climate change , and uncertainty in ecological and climate data. The research combines ecology , climate science , data science , mathematical modelling , and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) to build an adaptive framework for conserv...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in spatio-temporal statistical modelling for extreme rainfall events , climate prediction, and rare-event analysis. This project develops advanced generalised linear/additive mixed models with covariate-dependent, dynamically estimated thresholds to improve prediction of when and where extreme rainfall will occur. The research sits within the UNRISK CDT and connects with work relevant to climate resilience , meteorology , data science , and high-perform...

PhD opportunity at the University of Exeter in Mathematics and Statistics focused on marine heatwaves , climate science , statistics , data science , and mathematical modelling . The project investigates how extreme sea temperatures vary across space and depth in the northwest European Shelf seas, and how the probability and intensity of marine heatwaves may change under future climate scenarios. The research combines extreme value theory , generalised additive models , machine learning, and hig...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in the School of Earth & Environment on innovative data-driven approaches to predicting long-term European wind storm risk . This project sits at the interface of climate science, environmental science, statistics, mathematical modelling, data science, and decision science . It is linked to a new partnership between the University of Leeds and Lloyd’s Banking Group and focuses on real-world problems in estimating and predicting European wind storm risk ...

PhD opportunity at the University of Exeter in Mathematics and Statistics , focused on tracking uncertainties from future storms to hazards and decisions . This project sits within the UNRISK CDT and investigates how uncertainty in climate-model projections of extratropical cyclones translates into uncertainty in the wind and precipitation hazards that matter for society. The research combines climate science , meteorology , applied statistics , data science , mathematical modelling , uncertaint...
