This PhD project aims to address the effectiveness of GI systems, particularly vegetated rain gardens and their functioning under multiple urban stressors, such as floods and droughts. This project will involve extensive real-time environmental monitoring (laboratory- and field-based) coupled with advanced modelling techniques, to understand soil-water-plant dynamics in rain gardens situated within the City of Edinburgh and will provide the student with multidisciplinary skills and expertise in the fields of environmental monitoring, modelling and nature-based solutions.
