[Fees plus a stipend of £21,805 per annum for 2026/7.] This PhD studentship at the University of Exeter focuses on the mathematical and numerical foundations of the next generation of ocean-wave forecasting models. The project is motivated by the need for accurate, timely wave predictions to improve safety for shipping, coastal communities, offshore operations, and marine infrastructure such as offshore wind farms and wave-energy converter arrays. The research aims to move beyond existing weakly...

[Fees and a stipend of £21,805 per annum for 2026/7.] PhD studentship at the University of Exeter on physics-informed AI and experimental modelling of ocean mixing , focusing on how fracture zones connect deep-ocean mixing, tracer transport, abyssal upwelling, and large-scale ocean ventilation. The project addresses a major climate-science challenge: how small-scale turbulent mixing in the deep ocean shapes basin-scale overturning circulation and the transport of heat, carbon, and nutrients. It ...
