Proposal: Resources for sustainable energy: ore formation by percolative reactive flow
The transition to Net Zero will require a significant increase in the supply of critical metals, exceeding current production rates. However, ore formation mechanisms in magmatic s...
Identifying Environmental Factors for Soil Transmitted and Food Borne Helminth Diseases in Border Regions of Northern Thailand
Parasitic worm infections (helminthiases) of humans greatly impact low to medium income countries such as Thailand, by undermining health and agricultural productivity. Particularl...
Strengthening links between agri-environment management and pollination services for cost-effective bee conservation
The contribution of animal pollination to UK crop production is valued at £630M, yet pollinators are still under significant pressure from unsustainable land use and mana...
Do trace gas oxidising bacteria help build soil on volcanic rock?
BackgroundUnderstanding how soil establishes is crucial to be able to restore degraded soil. 80% of the world's soils are of volcanic origin, and these are among the most fert...
The interaction of waves with seaweed farms: wave attenuation and intra-farm hydrodynamics
Seaweed cultivation is well recognised as an industry with substantial potential for growth in Scotland. Most farms in Scotland are close to shore, growing kelp species such as Sac...
Ecological remediation of urban legacy pollution: Developing a neosoil for marginal brownfield bioremediation
Canals are increasingly valued as an important green space providing recreational and ecological benefit in urban areas (Williams et al.,2010). However, their industrial past has l...
A detailed climatic context for the growth and decay of Cretan Civilisations
The Cretan landscape is a result of complex geological processes that resulted in the island's emergence from the sea some three to four million years ago, during the Pliocene...
Can trait-based approaches inform habitat mapping of ecosystem function, process and services in benthic communities.
The sustainable management of marine ecosystems relies upon the existence of a clear baseline which involves quantifying species, habitats and processes within ecosystems and the c...
The genomic and adaptive consequences of extreme, human-mediated population decline
The consequences of severe population decline in wild organisms are poorly understood. Survival of species experiencing such declines may be hampered by a limited ability to adapt...
Soil functional diversity and ecosystem services under regenerative grazing management in the UK
Unable to post summary here as despite using the character count and character check facility, it indicated "invalid characters". Proof reading and also saving in...
Monsoons through Time: Why has the Asian monsoon changed?
The Asian Monsoon System is a major feature of the Earth's climate, directly impacting half the human population of the world.The impact of the monsoon on the supply of water...
Exploring the landscape beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet and its influence on ice behaviour.
Summary: This project will investigate the subglacial landscape of Antarctica.Satellite and radio echo sounding data will be used to map sub-ice topography to explore its geologica...
Implications for air quality from net zero policies and pathways in the UK
Air pollution and human-induced climate change represent two of the greatest environmental risks to human health and their causes and impacts are complex and interrelated. Calls ha...
Assessing the environmental biodegradation of next-generation polyolefin plastics
Plastics have become global pollutants and have been detected in every environment in the planet. They have an impact on flora and fauna and also contribute to the spread of pathog...
Characterising and improving understanding of mesoscale convective systems over south-east Asia using machine learning
South-east Asia experiences some of the world's most severe convective storms, causing flooding and landslides which endanger human life, agriculture and infrastructure. There...
Delivering training courses for environmental scientists - Bayesian methods for ecological and environmental modelling
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:/...
Balance and mass distribution of the head in bipeds
The shift during human evolution from quadrupedal locomotion in a pronograde position to bipedalism in an upright, orthograde position is associated withthe fragmentation of wooded...
Gas ash-particle separation and the role of particle aggregation in volcanic plumes
A complex numerical plume model will be used to characterize and quantify the fate of volcanic gases and particles in volcanic eruption plumes. The overall aim of the project is to...
Developing bio-acoustic monitoring: can current challenges be overcome?
BackgroundMeasuring and monitoring faunal biodiversity across large scales is a challenge, especially for the smaller sized taxa such as invertebrates, and those active below-groun...
Monitoring and detecting invasive species in anthromes: bees on the Faroe Islands
The Faroe Islands are an archipelago of islands located in the Atlantic Ocean, between Shetland and Iceland. Between the 4th and 6th century AD, people began to settle on the islan...
