PhD Environmental Sciences


Research is undertaken under a set of guiding themes, in interdisciplinary centres as well as by groupings of like-minded researchers. Centres: Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Conservation, Centre for Social and Economic Research on the Global Environment, Climatic Research Unit, Laboratory for Global Marine and Atmospheric Chemistry, Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research. Groupings: Atmospheric Chemistry Group, Coastal Processes, Environmental Assessment and Management, Environmental Earth Sciences, Integrated Catchment Science and Management, Interactions Between Ocean Biogeochemistry, Physics and Climate, Interdisciplinary Research on Coral Reefs, Meteorology, Oceanography and Climate Dynamics, Geology, Geophysics, Seismic Risk and Stable Isotope Laboratory. Wherever possible, novel connections are identified and exploited, within and between research themes, with the rest of UEA and research institutes across the Norwich Research Park and beyond to the wider academic community.

We reserve the right to occasionally offer an advertised PhD project to an applicant before the stated application deadline. Click here to view a key to the funding symbols.
