PhD Project: Modelling Resilience of Water Distribution Networks University of Nottingham in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in the School of Earth & Environment on climate extremes, infrastructure risk, and urban resilience . This project sits within the UNRISK CDT and focuses on how heat and rainfall hazards, climate uncertainty, cascading risks, and urban system dynamics interact to shape risk in the built environment and critical infrastructure. The research will combine climate science , environmental science , civil engineering , urban geography , human geography , data...

PhD opportunity at University College London in the Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction: UNBURNT: UNcertainty from wildfire hazard to BUilt-environment Response, adaptatioN and insurabiliTy . This project sits within the UNRISK CDT and focuses on wildfire hazard, urban climate science, built-environment response, adaptation, insurability, and uncertainty quantification. The research will combine probabilistic wildfire hazard data, urban microclimate modelling, building-by-building fire spr...

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 project at the University of Southampton in Machine Learning in environmental fluid dynamics modelling . This postgraduate research project combines machine learning , physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) , fluid mechanics , environmental flow modelling , and high-performance computing . The research aims to develop faster, more accurate, and more robust simulations for environmental flows, including the 2D Shallow Water Equations , with applications such as flood simulation , submerged ...

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...
