Atmospheric Measurement and Observation Facility (AMOF) - 2
The Atmospheric Measurement and Observation Facility (AMOF) is a world-class, cutting edge and internationally leading facility for atmospheric observation. It enables research...
NERC Environmental Omics Facility
New omic technologies have transformed biology by allowing scientists to read genomes (genomics) and to measure the amounts of proteins (proteomics) or other chemicals (metabolomic...
Bloom and bust: seasonal cycles of phytoplankton and carbon flux
CO2 taken up from the atmosphere by biological processes in the ocean is transferred into the deep ocean mostly in the form of sinking particles. Without this "biological carb...
Adaptive multi-nutrient monitoring system (ADAPT-NP)
Water pollution, in the form of nutrient enrichment and algal blooms, causes water quality problems across the globe, resulting in health risks and large costs to water managers an...
NERC Field Spectroscopy Facility (FSF)
Earth Observation (EO) is an essential tool for understanding terrestrial, marine, freshwater, cryospheric and atmospheric processes at globally significant scales. There are enorm...
Greenhouse gas Emission Monitoring with Innovative aNd low-cost Instruments (GEMINI)
The restoration of vast tracts of peatlands is a key UK government strategy aiming to help achieve net zero by 2050 and tackle climate change. Peatlands are important global carbon...
MAGMA: Magma Accommodation and Ground Movement Analysis
MAGMA will transform how we capture the complex geology beneath volcanoes within the numerical models of volcano ground movement that are used in eruption threat assessment; this w...
HOW MEGA-DIVERSE ARE ASIAN RAINFORESTS? DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIVE AI MODELS TO UNDERSTAND TROPICAL PLANT BIODIVERSITY
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 15 'Life on Land' (UN, 2022) strives to protect terrestrial ecosystems and halt biodiversity loss. Documenting the world's plant div...
Roadside halphytes as a model for Anthropocene range shifts
The student will use molecular markers to examine two coastal species that have moved inland along salted roadsides.
Integrating Maritime Cultural Landscapes with the Ecological Seascape Using Marine Spatial Planning
The global reckoning of climate change is demonstrating within the scale of a lifespan the interconnectedness and interdependence of our natural systems, specifically in marine spa...
Stable isotope fractionation in minerals as a tool for climate reconstruction: insights from molecular modelling
Subtle changes in the ratio of stable isotopes in natural climate archives such as sediments in oceans, polar ice caps or speleothems can be precisely measured to reconstruct clima...
Evidence and impact of parasite spillover across pollinator communities
Globally, many pollinator species have suffered range reductions, declining populations, and in some cases extinction - all driven by stressors such as parasites. The resulting dec...
Exploring the incentivisation and biodiversity returns of treescapes using agent based models
The broad aim of this project is to help deliver conservation outcomes from healthy treescapes by understanding the feedbacks created by policy interventions. Treescapes are extend...
Bridging ML and Subseasonal-to-Seasonal Forecasting: Exploring Sources of Predictability of Hydroclimatic Extremes Using Explainable Neural Networks
Hydroclimatic extremes such as droughts and heatwaves can be supported by precipitation and temperature forecasts (White et al. 2022). These predictions can aid the decision-making...
Understanding the role of Animals as preditors of disease
A mountain of evidence in the scientific literature suggests that biodiversity provides important ecosystem services for humans. One aspect that has been particularly well studied...
Harnessing the power of AI for biodiversity forecasting
The challenges of our time are becoming increasingly complex, for example, how we address the biodiversity crisis and climate change are multifaceted problems. The post 2020 global...
Rock eating fungi? The role of Mucoromycotina 'fine root endophytes' in silicate mineral weathering and plant nutrition
This project will investigate this fundamental knowledge gap by a combination of in vitro experiments, elemental, scanning electron microscopy and isotope tracer analyses, together...
Resource or Environmental Liability? Development of Novel Ground Imaging Tools to Identify Critical Metals and Environmental Susceptibility in Legacy
The overarching objectives of the project are to develop novel ground imaging approaches to determine the spatial distributions and concentrations of critical metals in mine waste...
A trait-based demographic approach to predict population response to anthropogenic threats
Biodiversity is in decline, with important consequences for ecosystem stability. Efforts to reverse these trends require an understanding of how populations respond to direct and i...
Future surface melt trends in Antarctica
This project will investigate the future trends in surface melt in Antarctica, exploring the drivers and impacts of such trends through the utilization of cutting-edge ESMs. Resear...
