Project details This PhD project explores how climate mitigation and adaptation projects can be designed and structured to become genuinely bankable and capable of attracting private and blended finance at scale. Despite the urgent need for investment in low-carbon and climate-resilient...

Project details This project seeks to explore: why do Community and Social Enterprises (CSEs) in some parts of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR) thrive while others are struggling to survive? Working with national partners (e.g. Cooperatives UK, Locality, Social Enterprise UK,...

This exciting project aims to experimentally and theoretically investigate the fundamental nucleation and heat transfer mechanisms in high-pressure flow boiling, in particular Critical Heat Flux (CHF) phenomena – the prediction of which is key to safely designing and operating water based...

Deterioration of earthworks slopes (cuttings and embankments), which support transport infrastructure and act as flood defences, is accelerating under increasing weather extremes resulting from global change, damaging critical infrastructure resilience. This project is part of the prestigious...

Natural flood management (NFM) interventions, such as woody material in rivers, offer a potential to reduce downstream flooding by slowing water flow, while boosting biodiversity. However, we don't fully understand how these interventions control water flow, meaning their flood protection...

Wildfires and floods are two of the most destructive natural hazards, and climate change is intensifying both. When fires strip vegetation and alter soils, rainfall can trigger debris flows and sediment surges that transform rivers, degrade water quality, and increase flood risk. This PhD will...

Flooding is reshaping where people can safely and affordably live in UK cities, altering housing markets and widening inequalities. In some places, adaptation raises values and displaces residents; elsewhere, exposure sustains disinvestment. This PhD investigates these dynamics, known as hazard...
