Towards enabling sustainable expansion of offshore wind while protecting marine benthic biodiversity and functioning (B-EcoWIND)
Meeting energy demands in the most sustainable way is a major challenge for society. Offshore wind farms - groupings of wind turbines on submerged sediments - offers part of the so...

Remote Triggering of Deep Earthquakes
Deep earthquakes are enigmatic because at very high pressures friction should stop rocks from rupturing. So we find in most of the Earth's mantle there are no earthquakes and rocks...
Application of novel atmospheric measurement technology to wider environmental monitoring
Next-generation aerosol detection for more accurate environment and health monitoring: Applying novel atmospheric measurement techniques to progress the state of the art in the cha...
PaleoGradPhan: Paleoclimate meridional and zonal Gradients in the Phanerozoic
The temperature of the Earth today is not uniform everywhere, but, in general, is warmest near the Equator and coldest at the poles (the "meridional temperature gradient"...
Debris-flow dynamics: Understanding phase separation and wave formation
Debris flows are natural hazards that threaten people and infrastructure in mountainous terrain. They are becoming more frequent due to the increasing number of high rainfall inten...
Genetic architecture of brain evolution during ecological divergence
How do nervous systems produce such a diversity of animal behaviours? Distinct environments contain different information, and present problems that require tailored solutions. The...
Emission Measurement Systems Programme - NCAS
The UK government has committed through the Climate Change Act 2008 to achieving net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 and the Sixth Carbon Budget brings greater clarity...

Social Dimensions of Plastics: Providing Innovate UK funding for a studentship in Plastics, Communications, Behaviours and Social Change
Research areas Technical solutions alone cannot solve the plastics crisis and public engagement and behaviour plays a key role. Influencing consumer behaviour is becoming a priori...
Anthropogenic Forcing of Antarctic Ice Loss (AnthroFAIL)
Melting ice caps are widely viewed as illustrative of anthropogenic global warming. The largest ice mass on Earth - Antarctica - is losing ice, and may contribute 1 metre or more t...

A new view of the thermal structure of continental mountain ranges: the importance of igneous heat transport
When continental tectonic plates collide and build mountain ranges, the rocks in the interior of these ranges get hot enough to melt. This molten rock rises through the crust, and...
Nitrogen fixation in the Arctic Ocean
Biological nitrogen fixation is the conversion of nitrogen gas (N2) to fixed nitrogen (e.g. nitrate). N2 fixation is a crucial component of global ocean biogeochemical cycles. It p...
Life on the 'mild' side: adaptation of an extremophile archaeon to a mesophilic lifestyle
Extremophilic organisms have evolved specialised adaptations for coping with harsh environments. Maintaining genomic integrity under such conditions requires high DNA replication f...
CryptoBioVision: Applying Computer Vision for Cryptic Species Discovery
Most of the biodiversity on the planet remains undescribed, unstudied, and unseen. This is sometimes referred to as the "Linnean shortfall", named after the great Swedish...
Empirical determination of the interaction landscape for temperature, CO2 and nitrate for a model diatom
Phytoplankton are the small but mighty single-celled photosynthetic organisms that form the base of most aquatic food webs, affect nutrient cycles, and are responsible for approxim...
UMBRELLA - UM Boundary Layer Representation including land-atmosphere interactions
The atmospheric boundary layer (BL) is the layer of the atmosphere near the Earth's surface which is directly influenced by the surface. The BL plays a key role in the atmosphere -...
Convective Cloud Dynamics and Turbulence Interactions with Microphysical Processes and the Atmospheric Environment (CLOUDY TIME)
This project, studying Convective Cloud Dynamics and Turbulence Interactions with Microphysical Processes and the Atmospheric Environment (CLOUDY TIME) will: (i) improve understand...
