Does temperature drive enhanced carbon cycling in Holocene lake sediments?
This project will use annually laminated (varved) lake sediments to reconstruct Holocene sub-decadal summer temperature and carbon cycling.These records can evaluate: (a) different...
Next-generation quantum sensors for medical applications
The project aims to develop novel approach to the non-invasive diagnosis of fibrillations.The proposed technique, based on electromagnetic induction imaging with atomic magnetomete...
Power scaling strategies for continuous-wave and short pulse fibre lasers operating in the two-micron wavelength band

Using historic data to assess changes in flooding in the Clyde Estuary, Scotland
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research.This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because i...
Improving the accessibility of offshore wind infrastructure in hostile environments
Offshore wind farms are increasingly proposed for more remote and challenging environments. An example is the four "ScotWind" option sites (N1 - N4) north and wes...
Study of Broken up Primitive Asteroids to Understand early Solar System Evolution.
This is to study the primitive asteroid families of the central and outer main belt and comparing them with outer solar system bodies, such as the Jupiter Trojans.The PhD candidate...
Biological and environmental control of herbivory by an agricultural insect pest
The diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella, causes >$5 billion in annual damages worldwide by impacting brassica agriculture.Its unique glucosinolate sulfatase (GSS) en...
Role of Multiple Anthropogenic Pressures in Determining Marine Benthic Ecosystem Functioning
The widespread reorganisation of ecological communities associated with anthropogenic activity, within the context of climate change, heighten concerns about the likely consequence...
Quantum metrology with triatomic molecules to probe physics beyond the Standard Model
This project aims to contribute to answering the question of matter/anti-matter asymmetry in the universe. It does so by looking at the energies of triatomic molecules containing h...

The outer bound of planet formation
In this project we shall use HPC simulations to address planet formation via gravitational instability (GI) concurrent with stellar binary formation [Fig 2]. Past simulations focus...
Functional ecophysiology of Atlantic mesopelagic fishes
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research.This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because i...
What makes forests resilient? A remote sensing method to detect and monitor forest adaptation to climate change
Tropical forests are celebrated for their biodiversity and crucial role in providing ecosystem services, including climate changemitigation. Understanding their response to climate...
Analysing the evolution of form and function in sand dollars
Understanding how the environment has shaped the evolution of form and function is a key question in evolutionary biology, yet still not well-understood.For example, while it is cl...

Inventorising and analysing household level flood risk adaptation
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research.This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because i...
Spatial patterns of tipping points in global vegetation data
Climate change may lead to tipping points where ecosystems shift to alternative states (i.e. grassland to desert). New theory suggests that tipping points may not be uniform but di...

Calming effect of group living in social fishes
Group living is common across the animal kingdom. The ubiquity of sociality suggests that this lifestyle imparts a range of benefits.However, the evolutionary drivers of individual...
Dissolved Organic matter subduction and transport along the east Greenland Margin
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is the largest pool of reduced carbon in the ocean, sequestering 2 Pg C/yr of atmospheric carbon dioxide.This project uses in situ physical and chemi...
