Understanding the interplay between the gut microbiome, behavior and urbanisation in wild birds
SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND Behaviour facilitates rapid, flexible responses to environmental change. Despite accumulating evidence that intestinal microbiota communities and their genes...
Intertidal seagrass carbon stocks and accumulation rates
Intertidal seagrass carbon stocks and accumulation rates: Seagrass meadows provide various ecosystem services. Through the accretion of organic-rich sediments/ matte, they have be...
MICRO-CYCLE: Unravelling the role of microbial genomic traits in organic matter cycling and molecular composition along the river continuum
Global biogeochemical cycles describe the transformation and transport of carbon and other nutrients between the major components of the Earth system. Rivers and streams represent...
NSFGEO-NERC: Imaging the magma storage region and hydrothermal system of an active arc volcano
Our project will use a powerful and only recently available geophysical technique to probe the interior of the hydrothermal system of an active volcano and thus gain unique new ins...
Polar Ocean Mixing by Internal Tsunamis (POLOMINTS)
Mixing of the ocean around Antarctica is a key process that exerts influences over large scales and in multiple ways. By redistributing heat in the ocean, it exerts strong influenc...
Investigating past changes in Greenland melting and its impacts on ocean circulation as a key to the future
The transformation of warm and salty surface waters in the North Atlantic into cold and dense deep waters, plays a key role in regional and global climate change. This process, ref...
Nature and extent of ecological impacts of vehicle headlights
Artificial nighttime lighting is a profound anthropogenic pressure on the natural environment. This growing area of international research has focused almost exclusively on emissio...
Shrub-driven transformation of the alpine soil carbon cycle
Ecosystems worldwide are experiencing rapid shifts in vegetation in response to climate change. One of the most pervasive, but poorly studied, vegetation shifts is occurring in alp...
A New Global Tropical Cyclone Model
Tropical cyclones are one of the most dangerous natural hazards now and more so in the future. Much about their fascinating genesis and evolution remains insufficiently understood...
Future sea-level rise and freshwater export from Antarctic Peripheral Glaciers and Ice Caps in a warming climate.
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...
NSFGEO-NERC: Using population genetic models to resolve and predict dispersal kernels of marine larvae
Populations of most marine species are functionally, demographically, and genetically connected by planktonic dispersal of tiny larvae. Understanding the spatial distribution of di...
Marine Soundscapes And EDNA For Assessing Biodiversity And Functioning Of Re-establishing European Flat Oyster Reefs, Ostrea Edulis
The project will contribute to both the 'Biodiversity' and 'Challenged Ecosystems' themes: European oyster reefs provide habitat for many ecologically or economically important s...
NSFGEO-NERC: Magnetotelluric imaging and geodynamical/geochemical investigations of plume-ridge interaction in the Galapagos
Understanding how melt aggregates in our planet's deep interior, i.e. its mantle, during melting remains a critical and fundamental open question in the Earth Sciences. This has im...
Coupled Evolution of Ice Shelf and Ocean in the Amundsen Sea Sector of Antarctica
As our planet warms the ice cover shrinks, a process that transfers water from land to ocean and thereby raises sea level. The result, which could ultimately raise global sea level...
Assessing the risks of zoonoses from the warming Arctic
The Arctic is warming - fast. This has consequences which reach beyond the Arctic, including the emerging potential for zoonoses. This project aims to deliver the first evidence dr...
Impacts of climate change on the resilience of natural enemy communities for biocontrol of insect pests
There are significant barriers to finding new solutions for sustainable agriculture, whilst ensuring agricultural productivity on a global scale. Conservation biological control us...
Using drone LIDAR technology to quantify hedgerow management, quality and configuration, and the impacts on farmland pollinator communities
The use of emerging technology in agri-environmental systems is gaining momentum and there's a need to train up the next generation of researchers and land managers in fast advanci...
KRILLGUARD: Safeguarding the future of the Southern Ocean
The KRILLGUARD project aims to protect the Southern Ocean ecosystem by focusing on Antarctic Krill (Euphasia superba), a keystone species in the ecosystem. With an estimated biomas...
KRILLGUARD: Safeguarding the future of the Southern Ocean
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...
Carbon-scapes: Understanding carbon connectivity across the land-ocean continuum using a seascape approach
Globally, intertidal (Blue Carbon) and subtidal sedimentary environments provide a nature-based solution (NbS) to climate change through the capture and long-term storage of organi...
