QUEST: QUasi-biennial oscillation: Enhancing Stratospheric Theoretical understanding
Understanding the sources of variability in the atmosphere is vital for weather and climate prediction. The Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) is a regular pattern of wind, between 1...
Meiotic recombination: how has this adaptive and evolutionary force been influenced by domestication and selective breeding?
Plant domestication and the origin of agriculture date from ca. 10,000 years ago and have had profound effects on genome evolution demonstrated in the dramatic phenotypic differenc...
UOM NERC Disciplinary Hopping for Discovery Science
Our research institutes provide leadership and coordination of multi-disciplinary research in areas of strategic strengths at The University of Manchester. The Manchester Environme...
NERC Cross-disciplinary research for Environmental Solutions
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...
REconstructing Cloud FIelds in 4D (RECFI-4D)
While rain is the most spectacular end to the lifecycle of a cloud, only a small fraction of clouds rain. Most clouds mix with dry air from their surroundings and evaporate (a proc...
CO2 - H2 Optimisation in Rocks for Underground Storage (CHORUS)
The UK is poised to embrace net zero carbon emission technologies to meet its Paris accord targets, by combining an increasing use of the renewables with efficient underground hydr...
PAthways of Chemcials Into Freshwaters and their ecological ImpaCts (PACIFIC)
Manufactured chemicals are essential for the maintenance of public health, food production and quality of life, including a diverse range of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and person...
Hindcasting faunal distributions in the holocene to understand interactions between ancient societies, biodiversity and climate
Summary: BACKGROUND: Faced with the urgent challenge of predicting the consequences of current and future climate change, it is imperative that we seek to learn lessons about cli...
Determining vitamin D status in precontact Western Alaska: a new method for exploring past health and dietary adaptations to high-latitude living
This research will use newly-developed archaeological science approaches to target permafrost-preserved human hair from the precontact site of Nunalleq, Western Alaska (1450-1650 A...
Can you hear marine snow falling?
The global ocean plays a key role in our climate system by extracting and storing much of the carbon released by humans into the atmosphere, thereby buffering the effects of global...
New approaches for understanding group-specific phytoplankton photosynthesis in mixed populations
The marine phytoplankton represent globally important components of the Earth's biogeochemical cycles. Phylogenetically diverse, they exhibit wide variations in physiological strat...
Quantifying the combined nutrient enrichment, pathogenic, and ecotoxicological impacts of livestock farming on UK rivers
Livestock farming is the dominant farming type and source of organic matter pollution in UK freshwaters, with over 9.65M cattle and 32.7M sheep on 10M hectares of grassland, repres...
A global climatology of sting-jet cyclones
Winter storms, formally called mid-latitude or extra-tropical cyclones, are a major natural hazard in the midlatitudes. They can cause as much damage as hurricanes, despite somewha...
Hydrogen isotopes in lignin: a new proxy for the Amazon hydrological cycle?
The Amazon basin is the world's largest catchment and sustains the largest continuous rainforest on Earth. Global change is affecting the Amazon climate in uncertain ways, with rec...

Cross-disciplinary Research Capability for Discovery Science at Oxford.
Cross-disciplinary Research Capability for Discovery Science at Oxford is designed to enable projects, placements/secondments and network to be developed with a view to enabling ne...
Towards an understanding of methylotrophic methane production in anoxic coastal sediments
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas which significantly contributes to global warming. Coastal sediments are dynamic ecosystems with substantial methane production. Yet, we know v...
New Insights on the Age and Climate Mitigation Significance of Shelf Sea Sedimentary Organic Carbon Stores
The burial of organic carbon (OC) in coastal and continental shelf sediments contributes to the regulation of atmospheric CO2 on geological timescales and potentially mitigates pre...
Modelling seabird breeding habitat selection
Seabirds breed on offshore islands and/ or coastal cliffs to reduce exposure to terrestrial predators and be close to feeding areas. Nonetheless, for cliff nesting species, it is c...
High Frequency Optical Fingerprinting of Urban Storm Runoff
Urban stormwater runoff delivers a complex cocktail of contaminants to receiving waters which degrades ecosystem health. However, we lack critical understanding of the links betwee...
