A radar into the past: using geophysics to identify palaeoenvironmental landscape features
Supervisor:
Mike Simmonds & Rob Fry
School:
School of Archaeology Geography & Environmental Science
Department:
Geography & Environmental Science
This project aims to test whether geophysical prospection, namely ground penetrating radar, ERT and magnetometry, can be used to map and identify landscape features that may contain sediments of a palaeoenvironmental nature, particularly palaeochannels or depressions which may have filled with minerogenic or organic sediments.

Design for Sustainable Behaviour: Feedback Interventions to Reduce Institutional Electricity Consumption
Supervisor:
Mate Lorincz
School:
School of the Built Environment
Department:
Construction Management & Engineering
Design for Sustainable Behaviour is a research area concerned with the application of design strategies to influence consumer behaviour during the use phase of a product towards more sustainable action. Measurable.energy would like us to explore how the LED indicators on their smart plugs, which display the carbon intensity of electricity directly sourced from the National Grid, affect people's electricity consumption behaviour.

The SmartDairy project
Supervisor:
Dr Yiorgos Gadanakis
School:
School of Agriculture Policy & Development
Department:
Agri-Food Economics & Marketing
Global dairy demand is rising, amplifying agriculture's greenhouse gas emissions. Urgency surrounds emission reduction strategies. The Smart Dairy project assesses 'climate smart' innovations for resource efficiency, waste reduction, and carbon emission control in dairy production, aiming to meet this pressing need.
