Maximising urban green infrastructure for surface water flood management: an evidence-based approach
Urban flooding is caused by heavy rainfall and is a growing global challenge. Many cities are rethinking their approach to flood risk management by using green infrastructure (GI)...
Evaluating environmental and economic implications of management measures for the UK scallop fishery
Summary of Proposed Research (MAX 500 words): The scallop sector is one of the highest value commercial fisheries in the UK and supports a productive catch sector and processor...
Mobile Observations and quantification of Methane Emissions to inform National Targeting, Upscaling and Mitigation (MOMENTUM)
Consecutive record-breaking atmospheric CH4 growth rates of 15 and 17 ppb in 2020 and 2021 respectively, have increased the challenge of meeting the Paris Agreement and the Global...
OceanBound
The currents in the ocean are turbulent, and dominated by "eddy variability" on scales much smaller than the ocean basins. This complex, nonlinear variability makes it im...
NSFGEO-NERC: Understanding surface-to-bed meltwater pathways across the Greenland Ice Sheet using machine-learning and physics-based models
Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) mass loss acceleration is driven by increasing rates of surface melt and calving of marine-terminating outlet glaciers. The links between increasing surf...
Sediment mobility in Himalayan rivers recorded by seismic monitoring with implications for flood risk under a changing climate
The Karnali River near the mountain front. When this photo was taken, the water is clear and there was no sediment transported. During monsoon floods, all the coarse gravel is mobi...
Sexual conflict in a fly with unusual sex determination
Sex determination are remarkably variable. This variability has been proposed to reflect conflict between between the sexes. Here we test this theory in flies with extreme sexu...
Discovering The Molecular Basis For Carbon Storage In Soil For Food Security And Climate Change Mitigation
Recovering and enhancing carbon storage in soils is recognised globally as a key priority for protecting our environment, mitigating climate change and underpinning food security b...
Hawaiian Drowned Reefs: Climate variability and coral reef response to environmental change in the sub-tropical Pacific over the last 500 ky
This research will produce records of seawater temperature and seawater chemistry in the Sub-tropical Pacific Ocean over the last 500,000 years. This time frame spans the last 5-6...
Neolithic lake sites, fossil insects and the spread of agriculture
The project investigates the spread of farming, climate and environmental change in northern Greece and the Balkans during the Neolithic, based on fossil insects.
Does competition with honeybees (Apis mellifera) adversely affect wild pollinator populations?
This PhD aims to increase understanding of the processes that drive competitive interactions between wild and domestic pollinators. This is fundamental to develop management strate...
Investigating the potential for catastrophic collapse of Greenland's 'land'-terminating glacier margins
The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) has been losing mass over the past three decades and is now a significant contributor to global sea-level rise. In recent decades, the ice sheet's ra...
NSFGEO-NERC: Impacts of sea ice melt and anthropogenic emmisions on biogenic sulfur aerosol as measured in a central Greenland ice core
Ice-core observations of methane sulfonic acid (MSA) are used as a proxy for past oceanic biogenic productivity because MSA originates solely from the oxidation of dimethyl sulfide...
Networks of Influence: How soil microbial communities respond to land use
The link between soil microbial community structure and function and land use will be investigated to inform soil management for sustainability
Next-Generation Modelling of Glacial Isostatic Adjustment
Modern-day changes to sea level can be measured using either tide-gauges or with satellite altimetry, and these observations provide vital quantitative information about the effect...
A green gold rush? Natural capital investments and implications for communities in the Scottish uplands
Billions of pounds of investment is poised to pour into uplands natural capital projects in Scotland. This PhD examines community dimensions of this, looking at implications for...
Advancing hydrogen storage through in-situ wetta bi lity characterisation
Be part of the zero-carbon energy transition and study the multiphase flow of hydrogen through porous media to validate the use of porous rocks for hydrogen storage.
Magmatic volatiles in the fourth dimension
Volcanoes release large quantities of magmatic gases such as water, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide into the oceans and atmosphere. The volatile elements that make up these gases...

The currents in the ocean are turbulent, and dominated by "eddy variability" on scales much smaller than the ocean basins. This complex, nonlinear variability makes it im...
Evolutionary Genomics of Immune responses in a wild mammal
Investigate the genetic basis and selection of immune responses in Soay sheep of St Kilda Integrating traditional ecological approaches with cutting edge sequencing technology
