We currently have six scholarships, each worth \u00a35000<\/strong>, for the MSc by Research in Geography or in Environmental Science in partnership with colleagues in Civil Engineering<\/a>. These are funded through the Durham Geological Bequest left to the University of Dundee to promote research of a geological nature. The scholarships would cover the costs of the tuition fees for 2021\/22, which are set at \u00a34486 per year<\/a>, with the remainder to be used to help with any research costs (e.g. fieldwork, equipment, etc.). We anticipate start dates in September 2021 or January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More information about the MSc by Research programmes can be found here<\/a>, and you can also contact Dr Simon Cook<\/a> who is the programme coordinator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following project titles are being offered for these scholarships from across Geography & Environmental Science and Civil Engineering, but we welcome other ideas<\/strong> in the general field of geology, geoscience, geotechnical engineering, etc., in accordance with the Durham Geological Bequest rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Use of Electrical Resistance Tomography (ERT) in characterising mixed sedimentary deposits in coastal environments \u2013 lab and field scale studies (supervised by Dr Alan Cuthbertson<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022Investigating tsunami sediment hydrodynamics: using an experimental flume to validate geological records of extreme events (supervised by Prof Sue Dawson<\/a> and Dr Alan Cuthbertson<\/a><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Investigation of landslide susceptibility using aerial drones (supervised by Prof Sue Dawson<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Biomediated protection systems for critical infrastructure against debris flow geohazards (supervised by Prof Glyn Bengough<\/a> and Prof Mark Cutler<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Geological controls on the erosion of Scotland\u2019s landscapes by ice sheets and glaciers (supervised by Dr Simon Cook<\/a> and Dr Martin Kirkbride<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 A multi-parameter ground investigation tool for green infrastructure projects (Prof Jonathan Knappett<\/a> and Prof Glyn Bengough<\/a><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Response of mangroves under extreme lateral loads for design of natural tsunami protection systems (Prof Jonathan Knappett<\/a>, Dr Alan Cuthbertson<\/a> and Prof Sue Dawson<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
