PhD Mining and Minerals Engineering - Deep time global change in Penryn United Kingdom | University of Exeter

As a PhD candidate in Mining and Minerals at Camborne School of Mines, you'll spearhead research initiatives that create meaningful contributions to your specialized area and broader communities. Our research encompasses diverse subjects such as geotechnical and mining engineering, occupational safety, mineral surveying, enhanced mineral extraction techniques, and examining mining's societal and ecological consequences. The Deep Time Global Change research team focuses on deciphering Earth's geological evolution and the fundamental mechanisms driving significant environmental transformations throughout planetary history. Our investigations cover all Earth systems - from the lithosphere to atmosphere - across geological timescales from Precambrian to Quaternary periods. We analyze samples obtained from core drilling and rock exposures, gathered through field expeditions or international scientific drilling collaborations.
