Assessing bio-cultural impacts on British biodiversity AD 0-1000
A series of UKRI-funded research projects have explored the deep-time history of particular British fauna (e.g. fallow deer, brown hares, rabbits, rats, chickens, domestic and wild...
Large herbivores as geomorphic agents in landscape rewilding
As a bid to restore damaged ecosystems and increase biodiversity, rewilding schemes have increased throughout the UK and Europe. A key approach to rewilding involves the protection...
The influence of dietary protein and lipid nutrients on bee-gut parasite interactions
Bees are important for biodiversity and food security; responsible for pollinating 30% food crops globally (Khalifa et al., 2021). There are around 250 wild bee species in the UK...
Building evidence for action: Novel assessment of ocean acidification impacts around the UK
Background: The ocean naturally absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere; CO2 reacts with water forming a weak acid before rapidly dissociating as part of the marine carbonate system. This...
Volcanism, Sedimentation, and Hydrothermal activity in Santorini, Greece
Volcanic arcs are very important in terms of their impact on society since they are usually densely populated and thus pose a high risk (Sigurdsson, 2015). Santorini is considered...
Vertical heat transport in Greenland fjords induced by iceberg capsize
Marine-terminating glaciers in Greenland discharge large volumes of icebergs into coastal fjords by calving. A dense matrix of icebergs and sea ice forms during winter, but in spri...
Investigating the history of Sussex kelp habitats and their impact on local communities (4462)
Historical perspectives are vital if we are to truly appreciate the scale of past changes in our coastal seas. Increasing numbers of restoration projects are making use of historic...
Multi-proxy Investigation of the Effects of a Drying Climate on Peatlands and Human Activity
Multi-proxy Investigation of the Effects of a Drying Climate on Peatlands and Human Activity
Glacier and Hydrological Response to Climate Change in the Khumbu Valley, Nepal
Glaciers in High Mountain Asia supply freshwater to over 800 million people. However, glaciers can also present risk: high levels of runoff as well as glacial lake outbursts can ca...
Introduction to Earth Observation Data Science
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:...
Future Fibres Networking Grant
The vision of the Future Fibres Network+ (FFN+) is to embed environmental sciences at the heart of fashion, wider apparel, and textile sectors, in order to establish systematic, ci...
IMPACT+ environmental Index Measures Promoting Assessment and Circular Transparency in fashion
Significant challenges lie in the collation, analysis and assessment of data generated to determine the environmental impact assessment (EIA) of products, processes and behaviours...
Resolving Biological carbon Export in the Labrador Sea (ReBELS)
The surface ocean is home to billions of microscopic plant-like phytoplankton which produce organic matter in the surface ocean using sunlight and carbon dioxide. When they die, th...
Resolving the life-history trade-off paradox: Measuring resource acquisition to reveal life-history trade-offs over different temporal scales
For species and populations to persist, individuals must reproduce. However, there are constraints on reproductive output, because without these, individuals would have limitless y...
Ixchel: Building understanding of the physical, cultural and socio-economic drivers of risk for strengthening resilience in the Guatemalan cordillera
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because...
Accurate and Direct Measurements of Brown Carbon Aerosol Optical Properties During Formation and Atmospherically-Relevant Ageing Processes
Aerosols are liquid or solid particles suspended in a gas and are pervasive in our atmosphere, with sources including anthropogenic emissions from burning of fossil fuels, and natu...
Electromagnetic Array Research over a Tectonic Hotspot (EARTH)
In 2010, Iceland's volcanism claimed worldwide attention when international flights were cancelled due to ash clouds spewing from the erupting Eyjafjallajökull volcano, leavin...
UK OSNAP 4
There is mounting evidence from measurements and models of the importance of the transports of heat and freshwater by the Subpolar North Atlantic Ocean. They impact on North Atlant...
Understanding the consequences of changing phytoplankton elemental use efficiencies for global ocean biogeochemistry
A major focus of biological oceanography is to understand and quantify the effects of temperature and resource availability on phytoplankton productivity and ecosystem dynamics in...
Cruising the whale superhighway: The evolution, biomechanics, and ecological drivers of migration in cetaceans
Whales are a diverse group of aquatic mammals that fill a wide range of important roles within marine communities. One surprising behaviour they exhibit is the remarkable ability t...
