ConstraAining 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...
DMSP SYNTHESIS VIA A NOVEL ENZYME IN CYANOBACTERIA AND DIVERSE BACTERIA
Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is an important and highly abundant organo-sulfur compound. It is synthesised by many algae, bacteria and some higher plants, where it is thought...
Understanding the eco-evolutionary drivers of emerging antifungal resistance
Microbes in their environment are exposed to changing conditions, which select for the most fit variants. This continual process of adaptation leads to the genetic composition of p...
Novel constraints on sources and sinks of methane and carbon monoxide from measurements and modelling of radiocarbon
How can we learn about the emissions contributing to climate change and air pollution by making measurements of the atmosphere? In this project, we will measure the emissions of me...
Preparing for War: Pre-emptive Behaviour in a Landscape of Intergroup Conflict
Violent confrontations between rival groups have arisen throughout human history but this is not a uniquely human phenomenon: conflict between groups occurs in all animal taxa, fro...
Deplete and Retreat: The Future of Andean Water Towers
Life on land depends upon freshwater. Mountains act as water towers, producing water by lifting moist air, and by providing temporary surface and below-ground storage of water for...
Multigenerational Trophic Responses to Coupled Short- and Long-term Environmental Change
The negative effects of climate change on biodiversity are already being felt on a global scale, disrupting numerous natural ecosystem services that human societies depend upon, li...

Smart assessment, management and optimisation of urban geothermal resources (SmartRes)
The UK uses around 50 GW of energy to heat and cool buildings with only 6% delivered from renewable sources. Heating of buildings represents almost a quarter of UK carbon emissions...
The Big Thaw: gauging the past, present and future of our mountain water resources
The world's mountains store and release frozen water when it is most valuable, as summer meltwater in the growing season. This service is an extraordinary generator of wealth and w...
Quantifying the impact of anthropogenic nutrient imbalance on C flux from freshwater lakes: cellular mechanisms, community assembly and modelling
Freshwater lakes are amongst the largest ecosystems on Earth, and a major contributor to both carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions, two potent greenhouse gases. The use...

Magma accumulation and inflation mechanisms at Fernandina volcano, Galapagos Islands
Volcanism involving molten rock ('magma') with a low silica content ('basalt') is a fundamental component of the Earth system, critical to continental break-up, formation of new oc...

Hydro-Mechanics of Fluid-Induced Seismicity in the Context of the Green-Energy Transition
Green-energy transition technologies such as carbon storage, geothermal energy extraction, hydrogen storage, and compressed-air energy storage, all rely to some extent on subsurfac...
Smart assessment, management and optimisation of urban geothermal resources (SmartRes)
The UK uses around 50 GW of energy to heat and cool buildings with only 6% delivered from renewable sources. Heating of buildings represents almost a quarter of UK carbon emissions...
IDEAL UK FIRE: Toward Informed Decisions on Ecologically Adaptive Land management for mitigating UK FIRE
Targeted management of the UK's fire prone landscapes will be crucial in enabling the country to achieve its commitments both to reach net zero by 2050 and to halt species decline...
