Leeds York NERC Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP)

Site for PhD Training in Environmental Research

Spheres DTP

Our students study the science of the Earth's atmosphere, biosphere and geosphere.

PhD Training

We recruit graduates in physics, chemistry, biology, maths, geography, earth sciences, computing, engineering, environmental science

Ecosystem services

We identify shifts in wild pollinator diversity, and assess how biodiversity affects human welfare.

Climate Change

We study the causes and impacts of climate change.

Animal movement

By studying how animals move in the field and the laboratory, we can predict their ability to respond to habitat destruction and climate change.

Conservation ecology

We study the dynamics of wild animal and plant populations, and how they are affected by climate, environmental change and management practices.

Tropical Forests

We study their role in carbon cycling and the impact of climate change.

Clouds, weather and climate

We study clouds to improve weather and climate models.

Environmental Measurements

We develop and deploy state-of-the-art instruments for observing the Earth's atmosphere, surface and interior.

Sedimentary rocks

We study earth surface processes and their change in ancient environmental conditions.

Grand Challenges

Our students are tackling the big questions in environmental science

Academic and Industry Partners

Our students study with the Met Office, NERC centres, industrial and commercial partners.

Earth Observation

We process and use satellite data of the Earth's surface and atmosphere.

Today saw the arrival of our second cohort of students for their induction.

We recruit about 28 students per year from the UK and rest of the European Union and provide them with fully funded studentships, including a generous research budget.
