Advancing in vitro fish models for assessing environmental pharmaceutical risk: Integrating spatial-temporal kinetics of pharmaceutical uptake
This interdisciplinary project will employ a multi-cellular and omic approach to characterised spatial-temporal kinetics of biotransformation, metabolism, and effect in a multi-com...
Developing isotopic markers for trophic mode and resilience in corals.
How does the extent of mixotrophy in corals (i.e. relative contributions of autotrophy vs. heterotrophy) affect 13C and 15N (and possibly D) isotope signatures of coral symbiont vs...
NERC Discipline Hopping 2022_23
The funding will support Stirling to initiate activities that will help the academic community to develop an understanding of different cross-disciplinary research perspectives and...
AN INTEGRATED MULTI-PROXY APPROACH TO THE LATE PLEISTOCENE LANDSCAPES AND ENVIRONMENTS OF IRELAND AND SCOTLAND, AND THE POTENTIALS FOR HUMAN AND FAUNA
In order to make a tangible contribution to extant environmental datasets it is the intention that a number of cores be taken in relative proximity to known sites of Late Pleistoce...
A holistic framework for assessing co-benefits of street-scale green infrastructure interventions
A holistic framework for assessing co-benefits of street-scale green infrastructure interventions Core urban areas tend to be made up of street canyons and are among the most poll...
Environmentally transmitted pathogens in wild red (Cervus elaphus) and roe (Capreolus capreolus) deer: the role of land use and bioclimate
Wildlife play an important role in the epidemiology of some of the most important pathogens of livestock and humans, either as reservoirs or vectors of infection. The presence of w...
Tracing the heat signature of Atlantic Water through the GIN seas and its impact on Arctic ice and climate
Extreme weather such as floods, heat waves, unusually cold harsh winters are increasingly prevalent across the Northern Hemisphere. For instance, the Thames barrier, designed to...
Investment decisions in grey squirrels: the role of future discounting and executive control (Ref: 4264)
Investment behaviour necessarily entails planning for the future. It can take many forms across species, and requires some degree of executive control: investors need to inhibit im...
Discipline Hopping for Discovery Science 2022/23
The NERC Discipline Hopping for Discovery Sciences (DHDS) funding provide our academic community with the opportunity to develop skills and knowledge across disciplines in encourag...
Innovative Analysis of Large River Topography and Dynamics (Ref:4243)
Fluvial system sustainability is vital for a half billion riparian residents of global river floodplains and deltas, and it requires knowledge and understanding of the land surface...
Energy, Technology, Behaviour, Culture and Regulation; The complex problems and transition engineering solutions for the future of local, sustainable
Project background Picture an idyllic fishing village in the British Isles. City dwellers flock to these places for respite and to soak up the quaint historical scenery and great...
Factors limiting marine connectivity at a species' range edge - the case of the pink sea fan, Eunicella verrucosa
The pink sea fan, Eunicella verrucosa, is IUCN red-listed and is a protected species in UK waters. It is listed as a Protected Feature, a key factor in the designation of many of t...
Nowcasting weather with coupled fluid dynamics and machine learning
"Nowcasting" provides weather forecasting central to issuing alerts and warnings of high-impact weather on timescales typically shorter than 6 hours. On these timescales...
Modelling the future of coastal soft cliffs underchanging climate
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship within the NERC-ENVISIONDoctoralTrainingPartnership with a project entitled: "Modelling the future of coastal soft cliffs under...
Does the oxidation of organic material on atmospheric mineral aerosol change the solar radiative forcing of mineral aerosol?
The atmosphere of the Earth is an oxidizing medium and effectively acts as a low temperature, dilute fuel, combustion system, oxidizing complex compounds and returning them to the...
European mistletoe (Viscum album) as a case study for understanding the regulation of host-parasite relationships
Parasites, which live on or in a host organism to the host's detriment, have widespread ecological, evolutionary, and socioeconomic consequences. To persist, any parasite must expl...
Aircraft measurements of ice-nucleating particles and their importance for mixed-phase clouds
This project aums to understand the sources and activity of particles which trigger ice formation in clouds. Ice formation in clouds is a major uncertainty in climate projections a...
Glacier Calving-observations and Modelling
Glacier calving is the process of ice loss through the breaking of ice from the edge of a glacier. Ice-flow models describe calving in a number of different ways, and there is stil...
Early evolutionary history of the Dinosauria
The early evolutionary history of the Dinosauria has in recent years come under intense scrutiny. In 2017 a radical new hypothesis of early dinosaur evolution, the ornithoscelida h...
Untangling the diversity and evolution of hairsedges (Bulbostylis, Cyperaceae) in Africa
This project addresses a number of identified critical skills gaps, including: (1) Taxonomy & Systematics - the PhD student will develop a range of skills in these disciplines...
