About this position

[Fully funded studentship for eligible UKRI candidates covering fees, a maintenance stipend of £21,805 p.a. for 2026/27, and a research training and support grant (RTSG). A limited number of studentships are available for international applicants, with the difference between home and international fees waived by the university; relocation costs, visa costs, and the health surcharge are not covered.]

This PhD studentship focuses on how climate change is altering the Antarctic coastal ocean carbon sink, with particular attention to Ryder Bay and the Antarctic Peninsula. The project builds on a unique year-round marine carbonate chemistry time series and investigates how rapid sea ice decline, glacial melt, and warming may change the ability of Antarctic coastal waters to absorb atmospheric CO2.

The successful student will extend observations from Ryder Bay through a period of rapid change, using marine carbonate chemistry analyses alongside associated ocean CO2 products, satellite data, and reanalysis products. A major part of the project is to develop an idealised ocean-ice model to explore the processes that control ocean CO2 uptake in a shifting sea-ice regime.

The research combines field-relevant marine science with modelling and synthesis work. It examines long-term changes in ocean CO2 uptake and their drivers, and places Ryder Bay in a broader Antarctic Peninsula context using existing CO2 synthesis resources and regional datasets.

The student will be based in UEA’s Centre for Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences and will collaborate with the POLOMINTS science team through supervisors at the British Antarctic Survey and the National Oceanography Centre. Training includes chemical analysis, data processing, visualisation, coding, and idealised ocean biogeochemical modelling. The student will also have opportunities to present findings at an international conference and in peer-reviewed publications.

Antarctic fieldwork is not a required part of the project, though opportunities may arise.
