PhD Studentship: Earthwork Interventions and Rehabilitation Strategies for Enhanced Resilience to Extreme Climate Events Loughborough University 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 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...

Imperial College London is advertising a PhD project on coastal cliff instability due to extreme weather conditions , based in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering in London, United Kingdom. The project investigates how climate change , extreme drying , and heatwaves may trigger coastal cliff failure, with a focus on the hydromechanical response of unsaturated coastal geomaterials (especially the Mercia Mudstone Group). The research combines advanced laboratory element testing wit...

Funded PhD opportunity at Newcastle University focused on microplastics , heavy metals , river and estuary pollution , and coastal processes . The project investigates how microplastics transport heavy metals through rivers and estuaries, building on work related to the recent River Tyne nurdle spill . The research combines fieldwork , laboratory experiments , and hydrodynamic modelling to understand the role of plastics in moving legacy contamination through aquatic systems. This is a strong fi...

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 ...
