THE EVOLUTION OF GLOBAL FLOOD HAZARD AND RISK [EVOFLOOD]
Flooding is the deadliest and most costly natural hazard on the planet, affecting societies across the globe. Nearly one billion people are exposed to the risk of flooding in their...
SECO: Resolving the current and future carbon dynamics of the dry tropics
The ecosystems of the dry tropics are in flux: the savannas, woodlands and dry forests that together cover a greater area of the globe than rainforests are both a source of carbon...
ENCORE is the National Capability ORCHESTRA Extension (ENCORE)
Climate change is one of the most urgent issues facing humanity and life on Earth. Better predictions of future climate change are needed, so that measures to reduce its impact and...
A multi-instrument exploration of the cusp ionosphere
At near-noon local times, at locations in the high arctic near 80 degrees North and South, the magnetic fields which originate in the conducting core of our planet extend upwards a...
ENCORE is the National Capability ORchestra Extension (ENCORE)
Climate change is one of the most urgent issues facing humanity and life on Earth. Better predictions of future climate change are needed, so that measures to reduce its impact and...
UKRI COVID19 Doctoral Funding Keele University
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:...
ISO-THERM: Isotopic testing of Earth's weathering thermostat
Weathering is a chemical reaction which dissolves rocks in rainwater and over long timescales removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Both theories and experiments predic...
Reducing water leakage through the development of high resolution soil maps
A vast amount of clean water is lost from the water supply network each year. Aging pipes often fail as a result of soil corrosivity, or the seasonal shrink-swell cycle of clay soi...
Lost at Sea - where are all the tyre particles? (TYRE-LOSS)
In the UK 330 billion road miles are driven every year, generating particles of synthetic rubber as a consequence of friction between the tyre and the road surface. It has been est...
Discovering reasons for global atmospheric methane growth using deuterium isotopes
This proposal is to measure and model deuterium/hydrogen (D/H) isotope ratios in methane, to constrain the uncertainties in the global methane budget. Measurement will include 1) F...
Improved projections of winds at the crossroads between Antarctica and the Southern Ocean
The coastal region of Antarctica links the Southern Ocean to the Antarctic continent and is where many of the key interactions that govern Antarctica's impact on the global climate...
Mantle plumes, xenoliths and melt inclusions - heterogeneous deep mantle sources or shallow melt-rock interaction?
In this study we will use the Canary Islands archipelago as a natural laboratory to examine the effects on melt composition as a passive continental margin is approached, transitio...
SWOT-UK: The UK contribution to validating SWOT in the Bristol Channel and River Severn, with application to coastal and river management.
The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission will provide for the first time from space two-dimensional high-resolution maps of surface water levels globally over ocean an...
Improved projections of winds at the crossroads between Antarctica and the Southern Ocean
The coastal region of Antarctica links the Southern Ocean to the Antarctic continent and is where many of the key interactions that govern Antarctica's impact on the global climate...
The past, present and future of snow algae in Antarctica: a threatened terrestrial ecosystem?
In Antarctica, less than 0.2% of the land is ice-free for at least part of the year and so is able to support terrestrial life. As in all habitats, these ecosystems have as their b...
How can we achieve biodiversity net gain?
'Biodiversity offsets' are a means of balancing losses due to development with equivalent gains elsewhere (no net loss), or increasingly are seen as a means of reversing biodiversi...
How and why is deformation localised in continental crust?
In this project the student will make and use geological field investigations of the exhumed lower crust to constrain models of strain localisation, and compare these against moder...
Nowcasting with Artificial Intelligence for African Rainfall: NAIAR
This project aims to use new digital solutions to create 0 to 6 hour predictions - nowcasting - for tropical storms using satellite data. The methods will be developed and rolled-o...
When does a supershedder become a superspreader?: The impact of individual-level heterogeneities on population-level transmission and spread
Individuals vary greatly in both their susceptibility to infection and their likelihood of transmitting infections to others. Evidence from various disease outbreaks suggests that...
Assessment of IUCN Red Listed Barbary macaque population health and numbers following multiple natural disasters within Morocco
Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) are one of world's most endangered primates. Their numbers are declining e due to habitat loss, and in 2023, Morocco (the country in which most B...
