Geology
Geography and Earth Science research at the University of Hull is renowned for its international scope and relevance across human and physical geography and Geology.

Geology and Earth Science
From investigating the causes and timing of Phanerozoic Great Oxidation Event, to understanding carbonate mineralogy for CO2 sequestration applications, our Geology and Earth Science staff and PhD students at the University of Brighton are at the leading edge of fundamental and applied earth science research.

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

Civil Engineering (Geotechnical and Engineering Geology)
Through this During Civil Engineering (Geotechnical and Engineering Geology) PhD programme from Newcastle University you will work with academics who are leaders in their field so that your research has a real impact on civil engineering.

Geosciences
Join us for your PhD in Geosciences programme at Newcastle University. You'll work with academics who are leaders in their field. You'll be supported and guided to produce geoscience research of an international standard.

Geology
The School of Geology at the University of Leicester offers research supervision for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Economics.
Environmental Geochemistry and Geomicrobiology
Environmental Geochemistry and Geomicrobiology at The University of Manchester focuses on the characterisation of mineral water organic matter reactions in surface and near surface environments.
Geology
Throughout this Geology MPhil/PhD programme from The University of Exeter as a student you will lead research projects that have a significant impact on both your chosen field of study and wider society.
Geography Research
The Department of Geography provides a range of opportunities for PhD research. We offer a Geography Research degree at the King's College London.
Sedimentology, Stratigraphy and Palaeobiology
The study of sedimentary rocks and the fossils contained within them is critical to our understanding of the Earth system and the evolution of life. This Sedimentology, Stratigraphy and Palaeobiology programme is offered at The Open University UK.
Geology and Geoscience
'Geosystems' research in Geology and Geoscience at Keele University combines expertise in geophysics, petrology, volcanology, sedimentology, structural geology and palaeontology.
Geological Sciences
This Geological Sciences programme at University of Plymouth will give you the opportunity to conduct research alongside staff at the forefront of their academic disciplines across the geological sciences, spanning the spectrum of disciplines from structural geology, palaeomagnetism, volcanoes, landslides and geomorphology to the evolution of life on Earth.
Geology
In the Geology programme at University of Glasgow we aim to advance fundamental, quantitative understanding of critical geological phenomena on Earth and across the Solar System to solve scientific, engineering, and societal challenges.
Geology and Geophysics
The Geology and Geophysics programme at University of Aberdeen has an international reputation, with many former graduates in prominent positions in academia, industry and government worldwide.
Oceanography and Palaeoceanography
In the Palaeoenvironmental Change Research Group at the School of Environment, Earth and Ecosystems Sciences, our mission is to untangle some of the key Earth system processes that drive the planet’s climate. This Oceanography and Palaeoceanography programme is offered at The Open University UK.
Geochemistry
Geochemistry is a key theme in the Dynamic Earth Research and Palaeoenvironmental Change Groups and has been a major focus of the research carried out at The Open University UK for nearly 40 years.
Geospatial Data Science
Our Geospatial Data Science programme from University of Glasgow is suitable for students wishing to pursue a PhD and undertake innovative research in a wide range of subjects which aligns to one of our Geospatial Data Science themes, including: geostatistics and geospatial data quality.
Planetary Science
Planetary Science at The University of Manchester applies a fundamental knowledge of isotopes and chemistry together with new observations to understand natural systems.
Geology
Birkbeck, University of London shares resources, facilities and expertise in earth and planetary sciences with UCL’s Department of Earth Sciences, thus offering you access to a unique, world-class research environment in this Geology PhD.
