PhD Studentship in Antarctic Ocean Microlayer and Cloud Formation at British Antarctic Survey University of Plymouth in United Kingdom

University of Southampton is advertising a competition-funded PhD project titled “Tracing cloud formation pathways across Earth’s atmospheric history.” The project sits in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences and is based in the School of Physics & Astronomy . This research explores how clouds influenced Earth’s climate through time, including how the planet remained habitable under a fainter young Sun and whether cloud–atmosphere interactions could have triggered abrupt climate tran...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in the School of Environmental Sciences on Earth’s carbon cycle , CO2 polyisotopologues , and atmospheric isotope measurements. This project investigates whether rare isotopic species of atmospheric CO2 can provide new quantitative constraints on ecosystem productivity and carbon cycling from local to global scales. The work builds on the UKRI NERC POLYGRAM project and uses existing and newly collected datasets from Weybourne Atmospheric Observato...

Imperial College London is advertising a postdoctoral research position in contrail science and mitigation within the Brahmal Institute for Sustainable Aviation and the Department of Aeronautics . The project focuses on understanding condensation trails (contrails), their role in aviation’s climate impacts, and how to more effectively address and eliminate them. The post is aimed at a quantitatively minded PhD candidate with strong analytical skills and a strong interest in sustainable aviation ...

PhD opportunity in Geology and Geophysics at the University of Edinburgh , drawing on the expertise of the Earth and Planetary Sciences Research Institute (EPS) within the School of GeoSciences. The programme supports original research across geology , geophysics , geochemistry , and geodynamics , with strong links to GIS, climate modelling, satellite data analysis, fieldwork, laboratory studies, and numerical computation. Students work with a supervisory team and an academic adviser, and can ac...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia on climate change impacts on the Antarctic coastal ocean carbon sink , supervised by Dr Dorothee Bakker in the School of Environmental Sciences. This project focuses on how rapid sea ice decline, glacial melt, and warming may alter ocean CO2 uptake in Ryder Bay and along the Antarctic Peninsula. The research combines marine carbonate chemistry , environmental chemistry , marine sciences , climate science , data analysis , and mathematical modellin...
