Generative adversarial networks for demographic inferences of nonmodel species from genomic data
Understanding the temporal and geographic movement of populations is vital to address key questions in evolutionary and conservation biology. Whilst the generation of high-throughp...
A novel turbulence closure for high-fidelity numerical weather prediction
The representation of turbulent processes in numerical weather prediction (NWP) models is key for capturing extreme weather events such as convective storms, heavy rainfall and acc...
Advanced Short Course on Environmental Contamination and Sustainable Remediation
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:...
Host-parasite coadaptation in a warming world
Global changes are escalating the frequency and severity of heating events and disease outbreaks. The extent to which thermal stress and infection may impact species evolution and...
DNA-methylation to improve conservation of TSD species
Global warming threatens over 400 species that have temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), including all sea turtles. In Cabo Verde - home of the world's largest aggregatio...
The Gulf Stream control of the North Atlantic carbon sink
We are all aware that atmospheric CO2 has risen over our lifetimes leading to global warming. The ocean has played an important role in moderating that atmospheric rise by taking u...
KE Fellowship: Sediment matters - using recent advances to unlock effective catchment decision-making
We live and work in river catchments, they host our agricultural areas, green spaces, and urban centres. Rivers provide drinking water, essential for humans and nature to survive,...
DEFIANT: Drivers and Effects of Fluctuations in sea Ice in the ANTarctic
Since the start of the industrial revolution the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has steadily risen. Scientists have confirmed that the recent loss of Arctic sea ice in summer...
Transforming our understanding of the Indonesian Throughflow variability and its climatological influence, long coral records from strategic sites
The Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) current is the world's only major oceanic current situated in the tropics. It propagates heat and salt-content anomalies from the Earth's largest h...
Putting the morph into CoMorph: Adapting convection parametrisation for the hard grey zone
Society benefits enormously from operational weather forecasts which inform decision making by individual members of the public through to weather-sensitive business activities, an...
ISTAR-D - The contribution to sea-level rise of the Amundsen Sea sector of Antarctica
This proposal will resolve the differences between satellite altimeter, SAR and gravity estimates of the mass imbalance of the Amundsen sector ice streams, through exploiting surfa...
Mid-Latitude Controls on Monsoon Onset and Progression (MiLCMOP)
The Indian summer monsoon is critical to the well-being of a billion people since it supplies most of the water for drinking, sanitation, industry and agriculture. Society is so fi...
The Gulf Stream control of the North Atlantic carbon sink
We are all aware that atmospheric CO2 has risen over our lifetimes leading to global warming. The ocean has played an important role in moderating that atmospheric rise by taking u...
Investigating the Drivers of Geomagnetically Induced Currents
The Earth's magnetic field sits within the changeable, dynamic environment of the solar wind. The interaction of the two regimes drives rapid reconfigurations of the Earth's field,...
Exploring variation in hydrothermal alteration of the oceanic crust
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is the line of undersea mountains that represent where two pieces of the Earth's outer layer of rock are pulling away from each other due to heat circulating...
Investigation of reaction porosity and permeability, IODP Expedition 399, Atlantis Massif
The Atlantis Massif Oceanic Core Complex (OCC) is one of the best studied locations in the ocean crust, the site of four IODP expeditions so far (304, 305, 340T and 357). It is the...
NSFGEO-NERC: The first actinopterygian adaptive radiation: integrating fossils, function and phylogeny to illuminate innovation in a post-extinction..
Ancient mass extinctions resulted in the loss of many species but also provided new opportunities for surviving groups. Study of these events is central to both understanding the o...
A can of worms-tracing the origins of Ecdysozoa using fossils, molecules and morphology in a Bayesian framework
Project Background Ecdysozoans comprise some of the most successful invertebrate phyla, such as the arthropods and nematodes. However, other members of the group are less abund...
Direct Studies of Peroxy Radical Autoxidation Reactions
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) play a crucial role in climate by setting the background levels of aerosol in the atmosphere. Aerosols directly and indirectly interact...
Near Surface Geothermal Heat Battery : Sustainable Use of GeothermalHeat exploiting Legacy Mine workings to Transport Recycle Waste SurfaceHeat
Ground source heat pumps supply a low carbon footprint energy. However, the longer term sustainability of the geothermal heat which is being accessed hasnot been rigorously evaluat...
