PhD Studentship: NERC Resilient Flood Futures (FLOOD-CDT): A sub-hourly quality controlled blended UK precipitation dataset to understand uncertainty in flood predictions Newcastle University in United Kingdom

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...

Bath Engineering & Design Studentships at the University of Bath are offering a PhD project on machine learning for early warning of debris screen blockage in urban rivers . The project sits in the Department of Architecture & Civil Engineering and is led by Prof Thomas Kjeldsen . This research aims to develop new methods for forecasting debris and trash screen blockages in urban rivers, moving from reactive maintenance to proactive flood risk management. The project combines artificial intellig...

PhD opportunity at the University of Exeter on quantifying uncertainty and spatial dependence in tropical forest forecasts to support climate change mitigation , conservation planning, and carbon finance. The project sits within the UNRISK CDT and is supervised by Dr Ben Balmford , Prof Daniel Williamson , and Prof Ben Groom . It focuses on improving statistical and machine-learning methods for forecasting deforestation and regrowth using satellite data, with an emphasis on uncertainty quantific...

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...

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...
