Accepting PhD Students

PhD projects

Projects are normally linked to three broad themes - i) "unruly" urban environments such as derelict buildings, and unoccupied sites and what their physical, ecological and social effects are, and how these are entangled with each other, ii) managing landscape change for flood mitigation, including rewilding, nature based solutions and river restoration, iii) how plastic pollution interacts with earth system processes, such as transport by rivers, and how plastic becomes waste.

Most PhD projects I am involved with will draw from multiple disciplines and typically will comprise a diverse supervisory team bring a range of knowledge and perspectives to support the project.
