Monitoring and Evaluation of Sustainable Development Goals using Earth Observation and Artificial Intelligence in Rural Africa
Developing a method for near-real time monitoring of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS) using remotely sensed satellite data
Direct Studies of Peroxy Radical Autoxidation Reactions
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), emitted by plants, play a crucial role in climate by setting the background levels of aerosol in the atmosphere. Aerosols interact with...
Development of novel genetic tools for studying dinoflagellates and coral bleaching
Coral bleaching is one of the most catastrophic environmental consequences of global warming. Even if the corals affected recover, the recovery is very slow and there is a massive...
The drivers of major transitions in mutualistic dependence
Cooperation among species (mutualism) is widespread in nature. Such partnerships between species can be of very different kinds. Mutualisms vary from associations between species t...
How do female insects get switched on to reproduction?
Insects are highly adept at reproducing. The females of many insects lay huge numbers of eggs meaning that populations can increase very rapidly. This helps explain how insects hav...
Strathclyde Discipline Hopping for Discovery Science 2022-23
Please see attached Case for Support (governance plan)
Cross-disciplinary resaerch for Discovery Science - St Andrews
The funded proposals will build discipline integration and enable adventurous and ambitious curiosity-driven, high-risk and high-reward projects that push the boundaries of Discove...
Reducing uncertainties in OH radical measurements using an absolute optical technique
Atmospheric oxidising capacity determines the rate at which trace species are removed from the atmosphere, thus controlling their impacts on air quality and climate. The dominant o...
A microfluidic device for quantification of atmospheric ice-nucleating particles (FluidIce)
A small fraction of atmospheric aerosol particles that nucleate ice in clouds have a disproportionate effect on climate. Quantification of these ice-nucleating particles is key to...
Cross-disciplinary research for Environmental Solutions - invitation to accept funding
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...
LTLS Freshwater Ecosystems ("LTLS-FE"): Analysis and future scenarios of Long-Term and Large-Scale freshwater quality and impacts
Long Term Large Scale - Freshwater Ecosystems (LTLS-FE): Rivers in the United Kingdom have in the past and the present been subjected to a range of pressures due to the release...

A solid-state concentration sensor for wind tunnel dispersion measurement
Studying how air pollution moves around between buildings is a very complicated problem: the flow of wind between buildings can be chaotic and unpredictable; the weather conditions...
Exploring the geological signature of Slow Earthquakes through legacy experiments and field analysis
Earth's outer layer is made up of plates that slide past each other, move into one another or pull apart. A large percentage of the World's population is living close to such bound...
CoccoTrait: Revealing Coccolithophore Trait diversity and its climatic impacts
Thanks to tiny organisms called phytoplankton, the ocean plays a crucial role in regulating atmospheric CO2 and hence our climate. Phytoplankton are primary producers and use CO2 a...
Replicating stratospheric lightning phenomena (Jets) within the laboratory
Recent discoveries of rare lightning phenomena include Jets (Gigantic Jets, Blue Jets, Blue Starters) in the Stratosphere. They are attributed to the failure of a small number of N...
Cross-disciplinary research for Discovery Science
The funding will be used to facilitate and enhance interdisciplinary working in Discovery Science. In line with the ambition of the Pushing the Frontiers of environmental science c...
A novel approach to measure nutrient fluxes in permeable sediments
Around the globe, the coastal ocean is of immense importance, as it provides critical functions for the environment, society and economy. Sediments play a fundamental role in the w...
Cross-disciplinary research for Environmental Solutions
The proposed research will be cross-disciplinary, on projects in Discovery Science designed to address important environmental challenges. Funds widely across subject areas, includ...
FAPESP-Enhancing Hydro-Mechanical Predictions of CO2-REactive Storage reservoirs from geophysical monitoring (EHMPRES)
The mitigation of the current climate crisis depends on the effective integration of renewables, hydrocarbons, long-term subsurface storage of greenhouse gases, such as CO2, and pr...
