Understanding trophic links between marine plankton to consumers to improve assessments of UK pelagic habitats
Phytoplankton are responsible for 50% of global photosynthetic productivity, recycling nutrients to sustain life in our oceans. Even within the microscopic size of phytoplankton th...
Novel application of CO2 sensor technology for breath-by-breath assessment of stress and energetics in unrestrained free-living animals
How animals manage their time and energy has implications for their reproductive success and, therefore, evolution. Measuring animal stress and energy costs specific to different b...
Knowledge Exchange Fellowship - KE4SEA: Engaging marine stakeholders in NERC-funded conflict research to enhance the effectiveness of Scotland's MPAs
The protection and restoration of marine ecosystems is an international priority. The world's oceans are severely degraded, with changes and losses to the structure, function and b...
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....
Cross-disciplinary research for discovery science
Funding will be allocated to support cross-discipline research in the environmental science space. Projects will be ambitious, curiosity-driven to align with NERCs discovery scienc...
Geochemical Controls on the Efficiency of Remediation Technologies for Arsenic, Fluoride & Emerging Contaminants in South Asian Groundwaters (GeoCERT)
The accessibility of safe drinking water supplies is centrally linked to public health, well-being and economic prosperity globally. Chemical hazards, such as arsenic, fluoride and...
Sleep in the landscape of fear
Like us, nearly all animals sleep. Sleep provides many key benefits: it consolidates memories, cleanses the brain from detrimental by-products of metabolism, boosts the immune syst...
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...
NERC Discipline Hopping for Discovery Science
As per the scheme purpose: The initiative will support University of Plymouth via its interdisciplinary Sustainable Earth Institute and Marine Institute to initiate activities t...
University of Liverpool: Cross-disciplinary research for Discovery Science
This award will be used to fund activities which will help the academic community to develop an understanding of different cross-disciplinary research perspectives and methodologie...
SIGNATURES OF RESILIENCE IN HUMAN-ALTERED COASTAL SYSTEMS
More than 85% of the world's coastline has been somehow altered by human activities. These activities and their consequences are concentrated in the Low Elevation Coastal Zone: a r...
Exploring eusociality in a marine vertebrate- relatedness, dispersal and population connectivity in Risor ruber
The apex of animal social organization is eusociality, a social system where only one cast creates offspring, defended and cared for by obligate sterile workers and warriors. Most...
An alliance to address the Red Sea's record of past global climate and earthquakes
Evaporation in the desert climate causes the Red Sea to lose the isotope O-16 preferentially over O-18 and as a result Red Sea waters tend to be enriched in O-18. This tendency is...
NERC-FAPESP Informed Greening of Cities for Urban Cooling (GreenCities)
Implementation of green infrastructure (GI) in urban areas is becoming popular globally, as it offers aesthetically pleasing green spaces, helps to reduce local air pollution, and...
NERC-FAPESP Informed Greening of Cities for Urban Cooling (GreenCities)
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...
The effects of artificial nighttime lighting on moth visual ecology and survival
Artificial light at night, from streetlights and other sources, is increasing at unprecedented rates, in terms of intensity and worldwide coverage. This lighting almost certainly h...
'NERC-FAPESP' Migrating dunes over hilly terrains
Granular materials are universal and all around us, from the devastating powers of a snow avalanche to the fabrication of medicines, and from ground coffee beans to sand castles on...
Do tree microbiomes clean up urban air pollution?
Overview Carbon monoxide (CO) is a ubiquitous trace gas in the atmosphere that is produced by natural processes. It is also a significant anthropogenic air pollutant produced by...
UK shrink-swell hazard under climate-change-driven weather extremes
Shrink-swell in clay soils is a major geohazard in the UK and costs the economy over £400 million a year. By 2050 this will rise to over £600 million due to climate-cha...
Piloting an Information Management Framework for Environmental Digital Twins
This research is focused on the development of a widely applicable IMFe that is informed by a new pilot digital twin and other existing twin initiatives. The activity will develop...
