Doctorate in Sustainability
Developed for professionals working to create a more sustainable future, Doctorate in Sustainability students at School for International Training will investigate the social, ecological, technical, and political dimensions of sustainable transformations, the relationship of science and society in advancing more sustainable futures.

Marine Sciences
This Marine Sciences MPhil, PhD programme from Newcastle University provide research training, supervision and collaboration to international standards.

PhD in Geology
Be part of a PhD in Geology programme at Victoria University of Wellington that is internationally respected for its contributions to the study of volcanology and tectonics and to climate change in New Zealand and Antarctica.

Environmental Science
The Environmental Science PhD programme from Newcastle University approach to environmental science research is multidisciplinary. You can specialise in the fields of applied and environmental biology.

Earthquake Engineering
Earthquake Engineering encompasses a broad range of activities that seek to minimise the damage and disruption communities suffer when hit by an earthquake. The Earthquake Engineering programme is offered at University of Canterbury

Ecology, Conservation and Zoonosis
As a PhD student in this programme at the University of Brighton, you will benefit from membership of the university's Ecology, Conservation and Zoonosis Research and Enterprise Group.

Micro-Bio-Mechanical Modelling of root growth in soils
Roots will be modelled as bonded DEM particles. By means of simple artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, the model will include features such as gravitropism, time-dependent root stiffening (thickening), root branching and root tip reorientation based on penetration resistance in the Micro-Bio-Mechanical Modelling of root growth in soils at University of Dundee

Earth Sciences
The Earth Sciences course at University of Birmingham allows you to undertake research across a wide range of the earth sciences.

Doctor of Sustainable Development
Based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals, this innovative Doctor of Sustainable Development programme from Curtin University is among the first of its kind.

Sustainable Chemistry
