Creating just, healthy cities: challenging inequalities in health deprivation from air pollution in minority communities
Overview: This project aims to investigate emerging issues around air pollution and wide spread disease (focusing on COVID-19[1]) and inequalities in society, namely, socioeconom...
Assessing the Contribution of Antarctic Peninsula Glaciers to Global Sea Level Rise
This project offers the exciting opportunity to assess the contribution of Antarctic Peninsula glaciers to global sea-level rise, using satellite data, A.I. and advanced numerica...
History and impacts of microplastic pollution in UK salt marshes
For the PhD in Adapting to the Challenges of a Changing Environment; there is no need to submit a research proposal for this Doctoral Training Programme as all applications should...
Scale-interaction of convection and its role in key African meteorological processes using novel observations and model simulations.
Across Africa, many regions are vulnerable to climate change and variability, yet large gaps remain in our understanding of regional climate systems, particularly due to a lack of...
Channelized ice shelf melting (CHISM)
This project aims to improve our understanding of the role channelized basal melting plays in the structural integrity of ice shelves. The links between channel geometry and large...
Essential Scientific Computing for Environmental Scientists
Doctoral Training Partnerships: a range of postgraduate training is funded by the Research Councils. For information on current funding routes, see the common terminology at https:...
Determining the most effective conservation actions for species
Species recovery depends upon application of effective conservation actions. Determining which conservation actions to apply to conserve a species requires an understanding the s...
Understanding how wetland species became rare or locally extinct using sedimentary DNA and stable isotopes - supporting future ecological restoration
Wetlands represent one of the most critical ecosystems globally for economic, social and ecological purposes, yet they are threatened due to anthropogenic activities causing wetlan...
Climate change effects on biodiversity: impacts of increased overwinter temperatures on UK reptiles
A comprehensive understanding of climate change effects on biodiversity would require a combination of knowledge from the impacts of increased overwinter and summer temperatures. H...
Cross-disciplinary research for Discovery Science
Bangor will fund proposals via a proactive, transparent and fair competition to support interdisciplinarity in Discovery Science. Research activities will be in line with the ambit...
Dust storms in the Sahara and Sahel: Nowcasting and its application to understanding dust emission and transport
"Dust storms are a dramatic weather hazard, and dust is an essential component of earth's climate system, affecting radiation and coupling with the carbon cycle. The inherent...
Sustainable cooling of the London Underground network
Subsurface rail networks across the globe are becoming increasingly overheated because of climate change. More prolonged and extreme summers, combined with a rapidly increasing urb...
Changing environmental conditions in Signy Island and its impact on diatoms in lake microbial mats
Antarctica has entered a period of rapid climate and environmental change which is largely impacting the functioning and productivity of the limnetic ecosystem. One of the most pro...
Climate resilient earthwork design using green infrastructure
There are tens of thousands of miles of vegetated infrastructure slopes, i.e. man-made embankments and cut slopes which support railways and highways, in the UK. Network Rail alone...
Impact of multiple climate stressors on microbial processes and carbon sequestration in peatlands
Peatlands represent one of the largest stores of terrestrial carbon, accounting for ~21% of the global total soil carbon stock. Drained peatlands contribute to around 4% of UK's es...
Redefining the metabolism of nitrogen cycling microbes using Dual Stable Isotope Probing
Nitrification is a key process in the global nitrogen cycle. Ammonia is produced through mineralisation of organic matter. Whilst mineralisation and nitrification are widely regard...
Biochar to Mitigate Climate Change
This project is a collaboration between the Department of Earth Science and Engineering and the Department of Chemical Engineering. Biochar is a term used to describe biomass that...
Unravelling the physiological drivers of species accumulation and sensitivity for metals
Metals are one of the most common pollutants of our soils. However, whether these potential poisons are taken up by an organism and what the subsequent toxic effects are is only kn...
Butt Out: A transdisciplinary approach in understanding and addressing the risks of littered cigarette butts
Project Background Marine litter, particularly plastic debris, has been demonstrated to be a timely, global, and important issue to address. However, to extend this research into...
CE324: Farming for carbon: developing new age models and monitoring methods to mitigate climate change
This project aims to develop an improved agricultural carbon soil model that incorporates new data and empirical relationships in order to compare various farmland management str...
