Overview
Features
The Environmental Research Institute is a centre of aspiration that seeks to be internationally recognised for distinctive and innovative environmental science. We work with partners throughout Europe and as far afield as North and South America, Asia and Australia.
With easy access to outstanding natural resources in the Pentland Firth and Flow Country, and a range of analytical and field equipment, we seek to address emerging issues related to improving our understanding of the natural environment.
State-of-the-art laboratory, meeting and office facilities in our prestigious new Centre for Energy and Environment (CfEE) complement the facilities at our Castle Street base. Recent programmes include multi-million pound marine renewable energy programmes (MERIKA, TURNKEY); bioenergy projects funded by EU Northern Periphery Programme, and development of a multi–disciplinary peatland research hub. This PhD in Environmental Science is offered at the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI).
