Enhanced carbon export driven by internal tides over the mid-Atlantic ridge (CarTRidge)
Plankton in the ocean, microscopic plants (phytoplankton) and tiny animals (zooplankton) that eat the plants, are vital to marine life and to Earth's climate. They form the base of...
STRESSORS: Monitoring and Assessment of Urban Nature-based Solutions
Urban green infrastructure (UGI) and Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are sustainable solutions to managing urban flood risk whilst offering additional co-benefits (i.e. pollution cont...
Closing the budget in marine atmospheric Oxidative Capacity through the quantification of Oceanic VOC emissions (COCO-VOC)
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the marine environment and the atmospheric oxidative capacity over the ocean are critical but poorly understood components of the Earth System....
Micro-structural controls on oceanic core complex formation: IODP Exp 399 Atlantis Massif_2
The surface of the Earth is divided up into tectonic plates that have moved throughout Earth history and these plates are continually created and destroyed at the boundaries betwee...
Viscoelastic subduction modelling to understand megathrust earthquake potential
The largest earthquakes, of magnitudes up to 9.5, occur at subduction plate boundaries. At these boundaries, one plate dives below the other as the two plates converge, and the rub...
From salt to sea, how does life recolonize a marine basin?
During shipboard operations whilst sailing on IODP Expedition 398 in the Aegean Sea, a complete section of the transition from the Miocene to the Pliocene was recovered. This inter...

Managing shelf sea carbon cycles and greenhouse gas release from physical disturbance of the seafloor (C-floor)
The ocean is the largest carbon sink in the biosphere but has been neglected by research and policy relative to terrestrial carbon stores. Carbon deposits on shallow continental sh...
The Birth of Mammals: Uncovering the Origins of Viviparity
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...
Applying Molecular Tools for the Detection of Zoonotic Helminths in Eastern Africa
Applying Molecular Tools for the Detection of Zoonotic Helminths in Eastern Africa
Structure and Dynamics of the Porcupine Magma-Poor Continental Margin from new Ocean Bottom Seismometer Data
The project will include the use of brand-new ocean bottom seismometer data and co-located industrial multi-channel seismic data. This project will complete the mapping of the Porc...
Forest diversity, dynamics and resilience in a changing world
The project will be an analysis of forest based data to investigate the role of forest dynamics- including growth and mortality rates; the life history strategies of various specie...
STREAM SYNCHRONY: UNDERSTANDING THE SYNCHRONY OF NUTRIENTS, POLLUTION, AND WATER IN RIVER ECOSYSTEMS
Rivers convey and transform the water, nutrients and pollutants they receive fromthe landscape. High concentrations of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus may act as pollutan...
Insect Responses to Climate Change in Antarctica and Ecosystem Consequences
Model reconstructions of the last glacial maximum (LGM ~20 000 years ago) in the Antarctic region suggest that all low-lying coastal areas were completely covered by ice - thus wip...
Knowledge Exchange Fellowship: developing and sharing mathematical tools to protect urban trees and woodland from invasive pests
The loss of biodiversity due to the spread of tree diseases and harmful invasive pests within our native forests is having an enormous environmental, economic, and social impact. T...
What the flux? Assessing the global ocean biological carbon pump
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...
Can nature-based climate solutions enhance the resilience of key ecological functions in farmed landscapes?
This project will build empirical species interaction networks of predatory arthropods (such as Coleoptera or Odonata) and their prey (including economically important pest speci...
Humpback Whales of the Pitcairn Islands
There are 15 distinct populations of Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) worldwide with an estimated 162,380 individuals. Historic whaling activities decimated these popul...
Assessing the changing risk of tick-borne diseases within woodland creation projects
Summary: Tree planting and woodland creation projects which aim to benefit biodiversity, climate change mitigation and connecting people to nature are increasing in number across t...
Flood Futures: How is the Risk of Flood Hazards Evolving in the UK?
This project aims to: quantify the relative impacts of different drivers on floods across a large sample of UK catchments; and assess the evolution of future flood risk considering...
