There are several ways to search research areas in which you are interested in working:

1. By department, using the 'CREATES Departments' page
2. By theme, using the 'CREATES Topics' page
3. By supervisor and their research area, on the 'DLA Supervisors' page. Here, you can also use 'control+F' to search for NERC remit keywords that supervisors have highlighted in their research interests.
