Uncertainty in climate change and its impact on earthquake risk
Theme(s):
Primary Supervisor: Serge Guillas <s.guillas@ucl.ac.uk>
Institution: University College London (Statistical Science)
PhD projects for 2025 start
This is a list of open research projects for PhDs starting in September/October 2025. We expect to advertise additional projects in the near future, so please check back again.
Because UNRISK encourages project co-development, the supervisory teams of many projects are not yet finalised. All students will be co-supervised by at least two supervisors.
