Cross-disciplinary Research For Environmental Solution

King's' NERC-related research portfolio principally rests within the Departments of Chemistry; Geography; Engineering; Analytical, Environmental & Forensic Sciences; and Nutritional Sciences. King's maintains a diverse portfolio of NERC grants, most of which are concentrated in the Department of Geography, with substantive foci on climate stress (e.g. relating to urban

risk and resilience, to rising seas) and earth observation science. We propose a steering group (SG) to oversee the disbursement of funds, drawn from the departments above, and including a range of career stages and backgrounds. The SG will include those who participated in the first round of NERC discipline-hopping funding ('Round

1') to ensure knowledge continuity within the panel; we will also seek new membership of the SG, and a female chair. We will build on the efficient and trackable award management processes used for Round 1.
