1.0k PhD programmes in Environmental Studies & Earth Sciences
Geography Research
The Geography Research programme offered by King's College London examines spatial relationships shaping places, landscapes, communities, and environmental systems worldwide.
Geography - Earth System Sciences
At the centre of the Geography - Earth System Sciences program offered at the University of Zurich is a written dissertation describing an original, independent scientific research project.
Environmental Sciences and Natural Resource Management
The PhD programme in Environmental Sciences and Natural Resource Management is offered by Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU).
Sciences of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering
This Sciences of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering programme is offered at the University of Padua.
Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society
This Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society PhD programme from Heriot-Watt University Dubai has an inherently strong research culture with research students making a highly valued contribution to School’s overall research profile.
Earth and Planetary Sciences
The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at The University of New Mexico offers a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Earth and Planetary Sciences.
Built Environment (Practice-based)
The Built Environment (Practice-based) at the University of New South Wales is aimed at practitioners operating within or across the broad range of disciplines represented in the faculty, from architecture and design to planning and construction.
Biology - Environment
The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Biology - Environment offered by the Department of Biology in the Faculty of Science at McGill University is a research-intensive program that emphasizes stimulating and well-structured learning opportunities.
Geology
Students are required to pass a comprehensive examination. The examination includes both written and oral components in which individuals are tested on their knowledge of their intended research area and related fields. The candidate is expected to be conversant across a wide range of the geological sciences. The Geology program is offered by the University of Tennessee Knoxville.
Toxicology
The Ph.D. in Toxicology program from Colorado State University focuses on gaining in-depth knowledge of the effects of chemicals and other potentially harmful agents on the health of the environment, humans, and animals, and requires that students make a unique research contribution to the field.
Watershed Science
The Watershed Science MS and Ph.D. programs at Colorado State University are internationally renowned, and the completion of a graduate degree is excellent preparation for a career in governmental agencies, private industry, teaching, or research.
Natural Resources - Watershed Management and Ecohydrology
The study of the Natural Resources - Watershed Management and Ecohydrology program from The University of Arizona includes all the biological and physical processes of ecosystems - knowledge needed for sustainable use of rangelands as well as management of the diverse and complex systems that they support.
Hydrology
The Hydrology program from The University of Arizona is designed for students with interests in the physical, chemical, and biological aspects of the hydrologic cycle, as well as water resources systems, environmental studies, or water policy and the social sciences related to water resources.
Urban Sustainability and Resilience
The Urban Sustainability and Resilience programme at University College London (UCL) provides students with the opportunity to tackle a challenging research problem identified by industry as critical to improving our urban environment and our wellbeing.
Earth Sciences
Participation in the Earth Sciences Doctoral Programme at the ETH Zurich - Swiss Federal Institute of Technology provides a stimulating introduction to independent research on a scientific frontier.
Environmental Sciences
At Environmental Sciences from University of Nova Gorica during the research work, students can focus on studying basic phenomena in the environment, as well as improving technologies that reduce environmental pollution, as well as the development and introduction of new techniques for detecting pollutants in the environment.
Karstology
Karstology from University of Nova Gorica is intended for candidates who have completed the previous study programme for obtaining university education or a second-level study programme of various fields, and who wish to gain deeper insight of this broadly “integrated system of sciences on karst” and become karst researchers or karst managers.
Plant Science and Policy
The PSC PhD Program in Plant Science and Policy at the ETH Zurich - Swiss Federal Institute of Technology is designed for researchers in the natural sciences wishing to acquire additional tools at the interfaces of research, policy, and diverse stakeholders. The program is open to motivated students in the life sciences, environmental sciences, earth sciences and agricultural sciences.
Geophysics
Geophysics is a hybrid discipline uniquely devoted to applying physical principles and methods to studying Earth’s and other planets’ complex systems (processes and properties). The program at Stanford University is designed to provide a background of fundamentals in science and courses to coordinate these fundamentals with the principles of geophysics.
Science
The Science programme offered by Aalto University develops advanced research expertise in scientific discovery, technological innovation, quantitative analysis, and interdisciplinary problem-solving across fields such as physics, mathematics, computer science, biomedical engineering, and industrial engineering and management.
