Role of fungal communities in carbon and nutrient cycling in forest soils under elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations
Fungal communities are known to play influential roles in woodland ecosystems, yet much remains unknown about their diversity, functioning, and likely responses to environmental ch...
The Universal InfraRed Airborne Spectrometer: A new instrument for climate research
What drives climate change and how can we constrain predictions of how the climate system will evolve in the future? Studying the Earth's Radiation Budget and, in particular,...
The effects of environmental metals on the spread of antimicrobial resistance genes in the stickleback skin microbiome
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to humans, animals, and our environment. Although this is often associated with the misuse and overuse of antibiotics in human and...

How do urban landscapes influence animal dispersal and ecological connectivity?
To halt biodiversity loss by restoring and connecting currently isolated habitat patches. GALLANT will improve biodiversity by restoring and connecting habitats across Glasgow.Citi...
'Can you stop a PDC?' Assessing the impact of natural and engineered barriers on deadly volcanic flows in the built environment.
Pyroclastic density currents (PDC) are dangerous volcanic flows with the potential to surmount topographic highs and pose a risk to nearby communities. Conversely, other PDCs have...
Worms v sediment: the rise of burrowing and oxygen
Nearly all marine strata are intensely reworked by the burrowing activities of animals, especially worms. These produce churned-up sediment in which fine-scale features, such as th...
Smart sensor networks for flood and drought resilience
Floods and droughts are among the world's most devastating natural hazards, claiming thousands of lives each year. Global climate change is intensifying extreme weather events...
Trees verses Tsunamis
Creating numerical models of tsunamis moving through mangrove forests.
Investigating the ecological functioning of the plant phyllosphere microbiome in the context of circadian biology.
Healthy plants, like all higher organisms, host an extensive microbiome which contain both beneficial and pathogenic species.A major driver of microbiome assembly is by the release...
Pathogen pollution in critically endangered vultures in The Gambia, West Africa
The Gambia is home to seven vulture species, of which six are under threat of extinction: four critically endangered and two endangered. As scavengers, vultures provide crucial eco...
Discovering the dynamics of cloud development through the embedding space of a self-supervised neural network
The aim of this project is to improve on a recently developed novel technique for studying how clouds evolve [1] and to apply this technique to a new domain by using it to study th...
Within-host drivers of zoonotic disease dynamics
Individuals are host to a diverse set of organisms, including parasite communities of helminths, protozoa, bacteria, and viruses, but how each component interacts is unclear.We pro...
Using Indicators to Advance Multi-(Hazard)-Risk Management
This project aims to understand whether existing risk management indicators (observable and measurable characteristics to understand a current state or monitor change) support &...
Leveraging genomics and artificial intelligence to develop predictive pesticide risk assessment frameworks for wild bees (Ref 4559)
Project Outline: Protecting wild bees from pesticides:Are you interested in making fundamental discoveries into the molecular systems that determine the sensitivity of bee pollinat...
Identifying multi-scale exposure of anthropogenic threats to migratory birds
Scientific background: Biodiversity is rapidly declining in response to human induced global environmental change. Migratory birds are particularly at risk having experienced large...
Understanding and improving AMOC forecasts in inter-annual to decadal climate predictions
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning circulation (AMOC) is a key ocean current in the North Atlantic which plays an important role in Earth's climate. For example, the AMOC - a...
Unearthing the Secrets of Hill-Fort Vitrification in Early European History
Vitrified hillforts, those further fortified by the melting and fusing of outer rock walls, are found throughout Europe, with a significant number occurring across Scotland. Those...
