Interdisciplinary solutions to enhance environmental resilience
We will appoint ECR Principal Investigator(s) (PIs) through an open and transparent call, who will be charged with leading the Programme and developing activities and / or workshop...
Polymers from sugars: development of emerging sustainable plastics and investigation of their impact on the marine environment
Key institutions such as the RSC have identified significant areas of research to combat plastic pollution including understanding and controlling plastic degradation and developin...
Assisting Peatland Restoration using Satellite Radar Data
In this novel research, we want to improve the management and protection of peatland in Scotland by using satellite images. Our objectives are: Aid assessment of regeneration activ...
Atmospheric Rivers and The Onset of Sea-Ice Melt (ARTofMELT)
Arctic climate is warming much faster than that of the world as a whole. Global models show the general trend of enhanced warming, but generally fail to reproduce the observed dram...
The impact of range expansions on genomic parasitism in Lepidoptera
Summary: In this project, we will investigate the dynamics of recent genomic parasitism in Lepidoptera. Previous work suggests that Lepidoptera show especially high rates of genomi...
Seeing the wood for the trees - Is reforesting theScottish Highlands a good way to sequesteratmospheric carbon dioxide?
This PhD project concerns one of the most pressing issues of our time; the 'Climate Emergency', and the proposed use of tree planting to mitigate climate change. Planting trees for...
Woodland-mediated predator impacts on open ground birds
Government policies are driving UK woodland expansion, especially in the uplands. Expanding woodland has benefits, but previous upland afforestation has impacted open ground biodi...
Post-glacial magma dynamics at the Mocho-Choshuenco volcanic complex, Chile
"Most subaerial volcanism on Earth occurs at volcanic arcs, where the most explosive volcanoes are found. The growth of an arc volcano is ultimately driven by magmatic process...
Community Scenarios Of Hydrogen Energy And Impacts On Air Pollution
Air pollution is a key environmental challenge for the UK. The energy sector is a major source of air pollutants. Several strategies have been proposed to move to net zero emission...
Linking agricultural land-use intensity, ecological integrity and infection risk in the rural Sahel
Agriculture delivers critical products and benefits to individuals, societies and economies (food, fibre, fuels, incomes, livelihoods). However, this often comes at great expense t...
Investigating the influence of meltwater runoff and near-terminus subglacial hydrology on the dynamics of Greenland's marine-terminating glacier margi
This project will investigate the influence of meltwater runoff and near-terminus subglacial hydrology on the dynamic stability of marine-terminating glaciers draining the Greenlan...
Regional investigation of extinction-recovery patterns during the Toarcian (Lower Jurassic) hyperthermal event
The Toarcian Stage of the Lower Jurassic marks a period of extreme environmental perturbations, including changes to the global carbon cycle, rapid warming to 'hyperthermal' condit...
Water and sediment routing through glaciers in West Greenland
The Greenland Ice Sheet is a major exporter of water and sediment, transporting fresh water and biologically important elements like silica and iron to the world's oceans. These in...
Oxygen isotopic insight into the oxidative size of biogeochemical cycle
Oxygen isotopic insight into the oxidative size of biogeochemical cycle
Metabolic drivers of growth and survival in salmonids
This project will investigate the role of environment, physiology, and behaviour in determining life history choices in salmon and trout. Individual fish will be tagged using passi...
Ocean eyes: Developing novel optical chemical measurements of trace elements
Iron (Fe) in seawater is highly particle reactive and easily removed via sinking particles but despite the importance of marine particles, relatively little is known of their eleme...
Developing Low Cost Methods for Tropical Forest and Peatland Carbon Monitoring
The project will review how current carbon credit schemes quantify carbon storage and the monitoring requirements that are in place to measure success. This will involve investigat...
High Latitude Peatland Fires and their Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Peatlands are the world's largest store of terrestrial carbon, an equivalent of around 2/3 of the carbon in the atmosphere is stored in boreal peatlands alone. Peatlands also suppo...
Trapped lee waves as a source of low-level drag on the atmosphere
Atmospheric models used for numerical weather prediction and climate projections have significant uncertainties in their representation of small-scale processes that contribute to...
Investigating 'cross-talk' between pathogenic Vibrio and phytoplankton, and implications for human health under climate change.(Ref:4297)
Communication amongst humans allows us to live together in societies. Breakdowns in communication can lead to conflicts and a breakdown of society's structures. However, communicat...
