Investigating multiscale characterisation of porosity and permeability of Hellisheioi CO2 reservoir, Iceland to quantify storage capacity
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is widely viewed as a valuable technique for reducing anthropogenic CO2 levels.Conventional CCS involves CO2 injection into depleted hydrocarbon re...
Are tropical waves an untapped source of predictability in the tropics?
Weather in the tropics is dominated by the predictable diurnal cycle of convection. In many countries it rains heavily for a short period at approximately the same time every day....
Diagnostics, surveillance and environmental drivers of TB in Borneo
Tuberculosis (TB) is the second leading cause of death from infectious disease after COVID-19. In 2021, 10.6M fell ill and 1.6M died from TB.Ending TB epidemics by 2030 is among th...
Quantifying and conserving West Papuan wetland forests
BackgroundThe island of New Guinea is the most biodiverse island on Earth. This vast diversity is distributed across a range of ecosystem types, including a mosaic of forested wetl...
The Wetter the Better? Understanding Wet Woodland Carbon Dynamics in the Anthropocene
Globally, peatlands are essential terrestrial carbon stores that can provide nature-based solutions for climate change mitigation.One of the least well-understood types of peatland...
Assessing impacts on water quality in future British rivers due to environmental changes
The percentage of surface waterbodies achieving 'good' ecological status in the UK has stagnated at 35% over the past decade. Climate and landuse changes have put further...
The Evolution of Indo-West Pacific Reefs through Space and Time
The Coral Triangle is a global marine biodiversity hotspot located in the Indo-West Pacific (IWP) (Fig. 1). Over 75% of the world's total coral species live in this region, ma...
Exploring the growth of deep-sea bivalves in areas of potential sea-floor mining
The area of seabed beyond the continental shelves makes up one of the largest of the Earth's ecosystems. However, the deep-sea benthos is very poorly understood, in large part...

Unveiling the Secrets of Peatlands for Climate Change Mtigation
The Scottish peatlands (i.e. mires, fen and bog) cover about 20% of the country, storing approximately 1600 million tonnes of carbon in the soils, and therefore, represent an essen...
Climate change effects on the spread of wildfires: A mathematical approach
Wildfires are a disturbance to a variety of ecosystems, and vulnerability is likely to increase in areas which are not adapted to these disturbances due to climate change. Climatic...
Integrating traits into polymorphism-aware trees to better model speciation
It is a compulsory requirement of the Research Council that a project abstract/description must be included.Efforts to understand the speciation history of taxa have been hampered...
Ecosystem functioning and its resilience across landscapes
Tropical ecosystems in Africa face unprecedented anthropogenic impacts over the next few decades, posing serious challenges to the resilience of ecosystems. Unpredictable and extre...
PHOtolysis Reaction Mechanisms by Emerging and New Technologies - PhoRMENT
Photochemistry controls a vast array of the natural and man-made chemical processes: photosynthesis, plasma technology, solar energy, combustion and atmospheric chemistry. An impor...
Probing the dynamics of hydrothermal systems at polar active volcanic calderas and their role in volcanic unrest (ref 4593)
Project BackgroundVolcanic eruptions pose a threat to ~10% of the world's population. To enable eruption forecasting, carry out hazard assessments, and mitigate risk, a thorou...
Investigating the climate feedbacks that will determine the fate of the Greenland ice sheet
Sea level change is one of the most widely recognised and zoompotentially serious consequences of climate change due to emissions of greenhouse gases. The contribution to sea level...
Combined Local Fisheries Knowledge with Novel Ecology Survey Methods to Identify and Understand Critical Elasmobranch Habitats and Their Threats
Elasmobranchs (sharks, skates and rays) are an iconic groups of species, however, overfishing and poor management has driven around 40% of NE Atlantic species to be threatened with...
Predicting the Resilence of Coastal Habitats to Climate Change
Freshwater coastal wetlands (such as dune "slack") are highly biodiverse and support many rare UK plants, invertebrate and vertebrate species. Their diversity is...
Investigating the role of sexual conflict in parasitoid- host eco-evolutionary dynamics
Finding ways to grow enough food to sustain the ever-growing human population while minimising detrimental impacts on the natural environment is a pressing global challenge [1,2]....
Is Nibbled, Riddled and Rotten Good for Health? Biodiverse Stimulation of Antiparasitic Chemical Production by Plants and Fungi
Disease caused by intestinal parasites is one of the biggest issues currently facing agricultural food industry with climate change increasing the spatial distribution of parasites...
