Metagenomics with High Performance Computing for environmental science
Doctoral Training Partnerships: a range of postgraduate training is funded by the Research Councils. For information on current funding routes, see the common terminology at https:...
Exploring co-occurring UK HYDRo-meteorological extremes that exAcerbate risk (HYDRA)
In wintertime, infrastructure in Great Britain (GB) is threatened by multiple significant meteorological hazards, and it is increasingly apparent that these interact in a complex y...
UNSEEN: Are unseen plastic particles in the global ocean already beyond the "no-effect" concentrations?
Studies investigating effects of nanoplastics (NPs) on aquatic organisms used concentrations between 2 to 7 order-of-magnitudes higher than those predicted in ocean to track NPs. T...
Causes and consequences of parental age effects on offspring quality
Decades ago, Lansing showed that parental age at reproduction negatively affects offspring longevity. This "Lansing effect" has been demonstrated across taxa, and is part...
CondensabLe AeRosol from non Ideal Stove Emissions (CLARISE)
Domestic wood burning is now the dominant direct source of airborne particulate matter less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5) in the UK (~38 % of the total in 2019 according to the National...
Palaeomagnetic field behaviour in the Palaeozoic and the hunt for inner core birth
Through describing and explaining how Earth's magnetic field changed between 330 and 600 million years ago, this project aims to tackle one of the most profound outstanding gaps in...
The tree phyllosphere microbiome - an overlooked and important sink for carbon monoxide?
In this project, we will investigate whether microorganisms associated with the above ground parts of trees are important as degraders of the gas carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxi...
Was A Cold-blooded Strategy Key To Crocodile Survival Across Mass Extinctions?
The internal bone microstructure of living animals records key information on life history, metabolism, and ecology that provides a critical framework for reconstructing these trai...
Humid heat extremes in the Global (sub)Tropics (H2X)
Humid heat is a serious risk to human health, reducing the body's ability to cool itself through sweating. The impact on humans will increase under climate change, particularly in...
Bayesian Machine Learning as a tool for Climate Scientists: An In-Person Workshop at the University of Cambridge
Doctoral Training Partnerships: a range of postgraduate training is funded by the Research Councils. For information on current funding routes, see the common terminology at https:...
The evolution of Chalk Sea ecosystems: biodiversity, resilience and ecological function in a warming world
The amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is already at a level last recorded millions of years ago, and is steadily rising. As our planet continues to warm, scientists are in...
Enabling CO2 mineralisation through pore to field-scale tracking of carbonate precipitation: INCLUSION
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and International Energy Agency (IEA) both cite that carbon capture and storage (CCS) is the only technology capable of decarbo...
Understanding the materiality of biodiversity tipping points and using it to enable positive action in the boardroom. (Ref:4654)
The biosphere and ecosystems are complex adaptive systems, full of interacting feedback loops, which can sometimes exhibit tipping points where a small change in forcing causes an...
Fracture: At the frontier of Antarctica's contribution to sea level
In this proposal we are seeking funding to make a leap towards simulating fracture within the Antarctic Ice Sheet on the scales that will be needed to address the problem of predic...
The role of structural variants in rapid adaptation
Wild species are under growing pressure from a range of different threats. These include increased temperatures as a result of climate change and new pests and diseases arriving as...
Submarine landslide tsunamis, mechanisms of granular flows at multiple scales; a new UK/China multidisciplinary research collaboration
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...
Tropical wetland methane emissions - processes and predictions: TropMethane
Summary Two-thirds of global methane emissions from wetlands originate in the tropics, but this estimate is uncertain and our ability to predict methane emissions from tropical we...
Middle Miocene greenhouse and cooling: the deep North Atlantic Ocean record
Nearly everyone in our society is aware that human activity has increased the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, leading to warming. What is not common knowledge is...
ConstrAining the Role of sulfur in the Earth System (CARES)
The marine sulfur cycle is an exemplar of a climatically important biogeochemical cycle within the Earth system (initially described by the CLAW hypothesis). Marine sulfate aerosol...
The role of evolutionary refinement in horizontal gene transfer of rhizobial symbiosis genes
Rhizobia are nitrogen-fixing bacteria that form intimate, intracellular symbioses with legume plants. Rhizobia convert atmospheric nitrogen, which is inaccessible to plants, to amm...
