Robust ESG data for biodiversity: towards a spatially-sensitive approach to Sustainable Finance
This project seeks to construct an interdisciplinary expert and stakeholder community to uncover and pilot using 'discoverable' data to construct a usable and scientifically rigoro...
Constraining the style of magma-ocean crystallisation by present-day Earth structure: a coupled thermodynamic-geodynamic approach
Earth began life as a globally molten ball, a "magma ocean", following the vast energy release of its accretion. While evidence for such a magma ocean is preserved on the...
Wearable technology for personal sensing of air pollution and other environmental exposures
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:...
Does antimicrobial resistance in river water pose a risk to human health? (Ref: 4263)
Project Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microorganisms adapt, such that they no longer respond to antimicrobial drugs, making infections harder to treat. T...
NSFGEO-NERC: Quantifying evolution of magmatism and serpentinisation during the onset of seafloor spreading
Over periods of hundreds of millions of years, Earth's surface is recycled via the fragmentation of continents to form new oceans and elsewhere the sinking of oceanic plates into t...
Eat, heat and listen: on becoming a mammal
Mammals share unique characters such as warm bloodedness (endothermy), anterior teeth that replace only once (diphyodonty), three high-frequency sound detecting bones in the ear an...
The NERC Digital Solutions Hub
We are building a Digital Solutions Hub (Hub) as a gateway to a broad set of inter-connected toolkits that facilitate improved access and better use of NERC data. The digital platf...
NSFGEO-NERC: Ancient life in moving fluids: elucidating the emergence of animal ecosystems
The emergence of animal ecosystems during the late Ediacaran (~571-539 million years ago) was a pivotal episode in the evolutionary history of life. However, most of these Ediacara...
Dry deposition processes of volatile organic compounds (VOCDep)
A large range of different volatile organic chemical compounds (VOCs) are released to the atmosphere from vegetation and human activities such as fossil fuel burning and the use of...
Monitoring a large Sargassum bloom subject to a major volcanic eruption (MONISARG)
Satellite observations reveal development in early April 2021 of a substantial bloom of the macroalgae Sargassum, centred on the Lesser Antilles, coincident with a major volcanic e...
Testing for the Pulse of the Iceland Plume: IODP EXP.395
Do mantle plumes have a pulse? Does intraplate volcanism fluctuate and is that determined by mantle dynamics deep-within the interior of the earth? How do these changes impact the...
Grazing and disturbance as management tools in coastal slacks: consequences for soil organic matter, biodiversity and functional resilience
Sand dune wetlands or slacks are biodiverse habitats supporting many rare UK plant, invertebrate and vertebrate species. They are a priority habitat for nature conservation in Euro...
KE Fellowship: Sediment matters - using recent advances to unlock effective catchment decision-making
We live and work in river catchments, they host our agricultural areas, green spaces, and urban centres. Rivers provide drinking water, essential for humans and nature to survive,...
Are sterols landscape limiting nutrients for wild bees in the UK?
Sterols are essential nutrients for insects (e.g., for membrane fluidity, hormones and physiological functions). Sterols in plant vegetative tissues predominantly comprise two ster...
Connected treescapes: a portfolio approach for delivering multiple public benefits from UK treescapes in the rural-urban continuum
Our project will address the role of landscape-level partnerships in delivering public benefits from UK treescapes. It will show how decision-makers and those responsible for trees...
Learning to adapt to an uncertain future: linking genes, trees, people and processes for more resilient treescapes (newLEAF)
This proposal addresses Theme 3: Resilience of UK Treescapes to global change. Treescapes - our woodlands, our forests, our urban trees - are critical to our environment, our he...
The role of cuticular hydrocarbons in adaptations to changing climatic conditions and in sexual communication of Anopheles mosquitoes
Malaria is a vector-borne disease that currently threatens half of the world population. Anopheles mosquitoes transmit malaria, and many tools have been developed to prevent mosqui...
Learning to adapt to an uncertain future: linking genes, trees, people and processes for more resilient treescapes (newLEAF)
This proposal addresses Theme 3: Resilience of UK Treescapes to global change. Treescapes - our woodlands, our forests, our urban trees - are critical to our environment, our he...
Branching out new routes to valuing urban treescapes
A climate emergency has been declared by 74% of UK local authorities. As they respond to this via increased tree planting targets for carbon sequestration, it is imperative that th...
Icy thermometers: the use of glaciers to measure and monitor volcano temperature (HOT ICE)
Volcanic eruptions can destroy infrastructure, displace communities, disrupt air travel, damage businesses and, unfortunately too often, take people's lives. Thus, predicting volca...
