Multi-hazard impacts into holistic risk management and industry regulation on climate risk.
Taking action to make societies resilient to extremes in a changing climate is a great challenge of our time. Knowledge is required about both the changes in hazard and resultant m...
Continuous-depth analysis of soluble greenhouse gases in ice cores
Greenhouse gas levels in our atmosphere continue to rise steeply. Concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide are higher than at least the last 800,000 years of Ear...
How does stably-stratified shear-driven turbulence mix our oceans and estuaries?
This research is ultimately motivated by reducing the harmful consequences of climate change on society, in the UK and worldwide. The root of the problem is global warming, caus...
Sensitivity of Tropical Forest to Heat Stress -Trop-Heat
Tropical forests are biodiversity hotspots and important biological conservation regions. They deliver key ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration and storage, and water fo...
NERC-NSFGEO Community And Structural Collapse During Mass Extinctions (CASCaDE)
A thorough understanding of extinction events has never been more important as we are entering a biodiversity crisis that is being heralded as the "Sixth Mass Extinction"...
The future of Arctic sea ice
Anthropogenic climate change is destroying the Arctic sea ice cover. The ice loss is erratic (variable), but scientists agree the perennial Arctic ice cover will not survive this c...
Exploring the Toxicity of Secondary Organic Aerosol formed from Atmospheric Oxidation of Pesticides
Global usage of pesticides (all agents that target pests and including insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and bactericides) was estimated at 4.1 million tonnes of active ingredi...
Virus sequencing of museum mammal specimens to define environmental and anthropogenic drivers of virus ecology and to understand disease outbreaks.
Tissue samples from preserved specimens in natural history collections can reveal major insights into the evolutionary history of modern-day viruses that cause disease, and help de...
Emissions Measurement System Programme
The UK government has committed through the Climate Change Act 2008 to achieving net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 and the Sixth Carbon Budget brings greater clarity...
Developing novel models to understand threats from Vibrio pathogens for safeguarding aquatic food supply under future climates
Climate change, leading to ocean warming, is affecting the frequency, intensity and duration of extreme weather events affecting nearshore ecosystems that will make our UK coastal...
EO Data Hub
Earth observation data can provide a wealth of information by virtue of its comprehensive geo-temporal coverage, the range of instruments and sensing platforms and the sophisticati...
Causes and impacts of Greenland atmospheric Blocking changes
This project aims to provide a major advance in the understanding of the causes of atmospheric circulation changes (specifically changes in blocking or persistent high air pressure...
The Gulf Stream control of the North Atlantic carbon sink
We are all aware that atmospheric CO2 has risen over our lifetimes leading to global warming. The ocean has played an important role in moderating that atmospheric rise by taking u...
Lethal Psi: Characterising critical embolism thresholds for Amazon tree survival
The Southern Amazon faces the greatest climatic threat of all Amazon regions. This region is drier and warmer than 'core' areas of the Amazon and has been subject to the most prono...
Accurate And Precise Alkenone Records Of Atmospheric CO2 For The Pliocene And Beyond To Inform The Future
Human activity is changing the composition of the Earth's atmosphere at a rate not seen for millions of years. The burning of fossil fuels for energy production releases carbon dio...
The Importance of Nonlinear Physics in Radiation Belt Modelling
Space is not a vacuum, but is permeated with electrically charged particles. This fourth state of matter is called plasma, and is not familiar to us on Earth since it is created at...
Creative Experimentations for Interdisciplinary Collaboration
This PhD studentship will allow the exploration of how socially engaged practices and methods drawn from a range of creative disciplines and social sciences may shape and reflect t...
Science-based Markets for Nature Recovery
1. Our economy, livelihoods and well-being are dependent on biodiversity and associated ecosystem services. Yet, species are declining at the fastest rate recorded, driven by habit...
Aonachadh: integrating biodiversity and finance
Aonachadh (ún'-ach-A) is gaelic for coming together, for two faces of a mountain that meet to form a uniting ridge. Building on and expanding an existing network of over 280...
Solent to Sussex Bay Seascape Restoration Network
There is increased government, investor, and public support for nature-based solutions to address biodiversity loss, net zero ambitions, climate change and green economy needs, imp...
