Biochemical plasticity and the evolution of diet-breadth in toxic insects
The evolution of host plant feeding is critical for understanding insect evolution and in particular the responses of populations to a changing climate. For example, UK butterfly s...
Budget impact analysis of adopting primary care-based COPD case detection in the Canadian general population
ESRC : Rachael Mountain : ES/P000665/1 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive and debilitating disease that impacts patients' ability to participate in e...
Exploring geovisualisations as place based planning tools for collaborative marine and coastal management
Marine and coastal systems provide a wide range of ecosystem services that have significant economic and societal importance. Effective management of these complex and highly dynam...
Assessing and Managing the Impacts of Mixtures of Chemicals on UK Freshwater Biodiversity in a Changing World
We are facing a global biodiversity crisis and freshwater biodiversity is declining more rapidly than either terrestrial or marine biodiversity. One in ten freshwater and wetland s...
Deciphering the origin and geometry of freshwater tufa barrages. From process understanding to sustainable management
Not all rocks originate from volcanoes (igneous, like granite), deposition (sedimentary, like sandstone) or transformation of these two types (metamorphic, like marble). Some rocks...
Cross-disciplinary research for Discovery Science
The initiative will support the University of Leicester to initiate activities that will help the academic community to develop an understanding of different cross-disciplinary res...
LEGACY: Labrador Current Governs North Atlantic Climate System?
Understanding how the North Atlantic Climate System will change in the next few decades, and how this will impact the UK, is a key environmental challenge facing society. We need t...
Recording impacts of invasive species through citizen science: a pilot study
Globally and in the UK, invasive alien species (IAS) continue to increase and are one of the main drivers of biodiversity decline. To facilitate management and policy responses, ev...
Understanding the eco-evolutionary drivers of emerging antifungal resistance
Microbes in their environment are exposed to changing conditions, which select for the most fit variants. This continual process of adaptation leads to the genetic composition of p...
Timing and impact of variable Arctic outflow on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
The North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) constitutes the major deep oceanic current of the Atlantic Overturning Meridional Circulation (AMOC), distributing heat throughout the globe an...
Exploring 3D nano-scale printed ice analogues in Atmospheric Science (E3DP-IANAS)
We propose to use state-of-the-art 3D printing facilities at the University of Manchester (UoM) to fabricate "analogue ice crystals", which resemble real ice crystals tha...
Biodiversity indicators from nonprobability samples: Interdisciplinary learning for science and society
Understanding the global biodiversity crisis requires regular monitoring and reporting. Scientists use a combination of biodiversity data and statistical methods for this purpose....
University of Leeds Interdisciplinary Discovery Science Award
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...
Cross-disciplinary research for Environmental Solutions UCL
Our world faces complex environmental challenges that cannot be addressed by one discipline alone. Instead it is crucial we unite a variety of researchers to tackle these challenge...
University of Edinburgh: Discipline Hopping for Discovery Science 2022/23
Principal Investigators (PIs) will be invited through an internal call announcement to apply for funding to undertake a range of discipline hopping activities. Examples of the t...
Assessing and Managing the Impacts of Mixtures of Chemicals on UK Freshwater Biodiversity in a Changing World
We are facing a global biodiversity crisis and freshwater biodiversity is declining more rapidly than either terrestrial or marine biodiversity. One in ten freshwater and wetland s...
Barcoding Magmas: Applying Machine Learning In Zircon Geochemistry To Increase Provenance Accuracy
Sedimentary provenance allows researchers to reconstruct and interpret the history of a sediment from its parent rock (source) to its deposition (sink). The "sources" are...
Monitoring, Modelling And Mitigating Pollution Impacts In A Changing World: Science And Tools For Tomorrow's Rivers
For centuries, human activities have impacted our rivers by shifting the sources and combinations of physical, biological and chemical drivers and pressures. However, our understan...
Antibiotic chemistry in agricultural soils: modelling mineral-antibiotic interactions from first principles.
In this pilot project, we will explore the chemistry of two commonly used veterinary antibiotics (enrofloxacin and florfenicol), and their metabolites, at the surfaces of major soi...
University of Glasgow - Cross-disciplinary research for Discovery Science
The University of Glasgow has received recently an allocation of funding from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) to facilitate and enhance interdisciplinary working in...
