The effect of temperature on the ecology and evolution of antimicrobial resistance in microbial communities.
Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria acquire the ability to not be harmed by the drugs we have designed to kill them. A growing number of infections - such as pneumonia, tube...
Establishing a new palaeothermometer from the speleothem archive of phosphate-oxygen isotopes
Temperature records are critical for understanding past and future climate. However, reconstructing past temperature dynamics is incredibly difficult. Of the currently available te...
Controls on short-term calving glacier dynamics
The global retreat and thinning of mountain glaciers and ice sheet margins is a well-documented consequence of recent climate changes, impacting both downstream hydrology and fresh...
Bronze Age upland settlement dynamics in Ireland and northern Britain: environmental vs. non-environmental drivers
The impact of both environmental and socio-economic factors on the dynamics of prehistoric upland settlement in Britain and Ireland has been at the centre of a long-running debate....
Integrating top-down control by parasitic protists and fungi into the ecological dynamics of freshwater phytoplankton blooms
Freshwater lakes provide us with many services such as a supply of freshwater for our homes and recreation. Within freshwater lakes, microalgae, photosynthesising single cells, inc...
Revealing the hidden identity and toxicity of priority chemical pollutants released during microplastic degradation and additive leaching in marine...
...and coastal environments. Project Summary: Micro- and nanoscale plastics produced from the decomposition of marine plastic debris pose a severe threat to marine and coastal eco...
UK EO Climate Information Service (UKEO-CIS)
Earth observation from space is the use of sensors on satellites orbiting the Earth to measure the state of the planet. Many important aspects of the Earth's varied environments ca...
Applying multi-omics in environmental research
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 ecological and evolutionary legacy of extreme climatic events for food web resilience
There is growing evidence that extreme events such as heatwaves, rather than increases in average temperatures, will have the most immediate and harmful effects on plants and anima...
Morphological evolution and the Cambrian Explosion - a 550 million year view
The diversity of living animals can be placed into about 30 groups called phyla, a term that refers to the possession of a distinct body plan. All these body plans first appear in...
Software Development for Earth and Environmental Scientists: Reproducible Research through Reusable, Reliable Code
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:...
Determining favourable conservation status for the UK's birds: creating population targets to conserve biodiversity
Background: The conservation of species in the current biodiversity and climate change crises requires the setting of population targets for species of conservation concern, in ord...
Understanding population level effects of artificial lighting on biodiversity - a novel interdisciplinary approach using bats as models
The expansion of urban areas (urbanisation) is a key driver of global change, a significant factor in species extinctions and a major threat to biological diversity. Artificial lig...
DiMethylsulfonioPropionate cycling In Terrestrial environments (DMSP InTerrest)
Marine-dwelling microbes and plants produce 8 billion tonnes of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) per year in Earth's surface oceans alone, via enzymes we have identified. Organism...
NSFGEO-NERC: Quantifying evolution of magmatism and serpentinisation during the onset of seafloor spreading
Over periods of hundreds of millions of years, Earth's surface is recycled via the fragmentation of continents to form new oceans and elsewhere the sinking of oceanic plates into t...
3Rs of drought: resistance, resilience and recovery - an opportunistic experiment
The summer of 2022 has seen the highest air temperatures ever recorded in England and the lowest July rainfall since 1935. This drought, the worst in Europe for 500 years, has resu...

There is growing evidence that extreme events such as heatwaves, rather than increases in average temperatures, will have the most immediate and harmful effects on plants and anima...
Predicting species distributions for biodiversity renewal decisions. (Ref:4444)
We are in a biodiversity crisis and a challenge for ecologists is to devise strategies for targeting conservation effort effectively. Where should new habitats be created, and how...
Establishing long-term baselines of marine variability in the northwest European shelf seas. (Ref:4252)
Project Background: Marine environments are experiencing unprecedented pressure from anthropogenic climate change, societal impacts, and exploitation (e.g. fishing and offshore...
