Topic A. Hydrogen Emissions: Constraining The Earth system Response (HECTER)
A global hydrogen economy is growing rapidly. As hydrogen usage increases, leakage to the atmosphere is inevitable, and atmospheric hydrogen levels will rise. Many aspects of hydro...
Impact of CO2 rise on root, leaf and wood production: The future of tree C allocation
Globally, trees absorb CO2 in photosynthesis and allocate carbon into leaves, wood, and roots where it can then remain within biomass and soil for decades. Therefore, carbon uptake...

Functional development within the mammalian masticatory apparatus: an investigation into feeding capabilities with changing diets
Mammalian biodiversity is often linked to dietary diversity, with species possessing masticatory specialisations to help them attain and consume different foods. Whilst adult phen...
Adaptive introgression in the Anthropocene
Human translocation of species and anthropogenic climate change are resulting in some of the fastest rates of species distribution changes ever seen, causing many native and non-na...
Upper tropospheric humidity and climate change
The tiny quantities of water vapour in the air many kilometres above our heads is of central importance to the Earth's greenhouse effect and ongoing climate change. It regulates t...
Diet and thermal limits: eating for survival and fertility
Climate change increases the frequency of extreme weather events. Heatwaves can kill organisms, but may also increase extinction risk by harming fertility. Sperm are thought to be...
Tropical Forest Carbon, Habitat Structure, And Faunal Biodiversity: Implications For Conservation
Tropical forests are critical ecosystems for biodiversity, carbon storage and climate regulation, but ongoing forest clearance and the uncertain impacts of climate change pose sign...
Multi-scale environmental remote sensing for understanding dust in the high latitudes
Mineral dust is now established as having a key influence in a wide range of biogeochemical cycles, and as a significant player within the Earth system. While most research on dust...
Climate change, marine fisheries and conservation in West Greenland
Throughout history, back to at least 2500 BC [1], the survival of human communities in West Greenland has been closely linked to the marine ecosystem and its living resources (fish...
The Dynamics of Freshwater Food Webs Under Multiple Threats
Aquatic ecosystems around the world provide critical services to humanity including freshwater, food resources and the capacity to store carbon and thus mediate climate change....
Mapping and measuring glacier mass balance: developing a best practice approach for understanding glacier change
Background and Rationale Understanding the current and future "health" of glaciers and icecaps globally is an important scientific goal in our warming climate. Glaciers...
Quantification of past climates using speleothem material from Morocco and Chile
Our environmental systems are undergoing significant change in the present day because of unprecedented rises in greenhouse gas levels. To better understand future climate projecti...
Cross-disciplinary Research For Environmental Solution
King's' NERC-related research portfolio principally rests within the Departments of Chemistry; Geography; Engineering; Analytical, Environmental & Forensic Sciences; and Nutri...
The Historical Ecology of Lowland Hill-scapes: assessing the impact of post-Medieval settlement colonisation on relationships between humans, animals
This project combines science-based and interdisciplinary approaches to better understand the relationships between humans, animals and plants as humans appropriate and colonise ne...
Under revision
This student has had significant difficulties with their supervision and is currently (October 2024) in the position of having to devise a new project with a new supervisor. Projec...
Evaluating and constraining storm-resolving climate models
Global storm-resolving models (GSRMs) enable simulating the atmosphere at an unprecedented level of detail. They can directly compute key atmospheric processes which conventional c...
The evolutionary genomics of life-history adaptations and disease susceptibility in pinnipeds
Pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, fur seals and walrus) are keystone marine predators, and sentinels for marine ecosystem health. Advances in genomics technologies are opening up the po...
Nutrigenomics and the resilience of bees in a changing climate
Bees, our foremost pollinators, are vital for ecosystem stability and global food security - providing pollination services worth hundreds of billions of pounds annually. The UK is...
The effect of changing soundscapes on trophic interactions
Predator-prey interactions are a crucial part of functioning ecosystems, and carnivores can structure ecosystems by affecting species at lower trophic levels (Suraci et al. 2016)....
