Sentinel Sharks: tracking anthropogenic contamination in the marine ecosystem
Over the last century anthropogenic activities have rapidly increased the influx of metals entering the marine environment, which can bioaccumulate and biomagnify in marine top con...
Functional 'omics for assessing resilience to environmental stress in the intertidal beadlet anemone Actinia equina
Understanding how marine organisms respond to acute environmental stressors such as pollution and chronic stressors such as climate change is essential for managing and conserving...
Using genomics to understand Salmonella transmission from farm-to-fork and the environment in the Philippines
More than 60% of current and emerging human infections have a zoonotic origin, that is, they are transferred between animals and people, and have "One health" imp...
Long-term Measurements of OH Reactivity: A Potential New Metric for Air Quality
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted into the atmosphere from a variety of sources, including vehicle exhausts, industry, agriculture and plants, with estimates of over 10...
Do unrelated plants growing in the same region look similar due to climate adaptation?
Plants are a key factor in the global climate balance, they absorb CO2 and emit oxygen, they stabilize soils and intercept rainfall, reducing erosion, they generate local microclim...
Effects of rapid Arctic climate change on jet streams and extreme weather (Ref 4606)
Project BackgroundThe lower atmospheric warming as a result of manmade CO2 emissions is several times larger in the Arctic than in other parts of the world (see figure 1), a phenom...
Image analysis and mass petrography
Petrography - the optical microscopic analysis of thin sections of materials - is the fastest and most cost-effective tool for investigating the mineralogy and microtexture of rock...

Perturbation, Social Rewiring, and Population Dynamics in Animal Societies
Many animal species are at risk of extinction in the wild and understanding the threats to these populations is essential to ensure their conservation. In many species, social rela...
The role of recreational marinas in facilitating the impacts of invasive non-native species.
Biodiversity is under threat from a number of drivers of global change with detrimental implications for coastal habitats. Of particular concern is the increase of invasive nonnati...
Photogrammetry as a tool to improve reef restoration
Coral reef restoration is emerging as a critical management tool in the Anthropocene. A prerequisite for successful reef restoration is determining meaningful and measurable goals....
Biodiversity co-benefits of large scale restoration in the Brazilian Amazon
Climate change and biodiversity loss dominate concerns over anthropogenic modification of the natural world. For the last 40-years, each decade has been successively warmer thanthe...
Aerosol radiative effects on the global land carbon sink
This project will use state-of-the-art satellite observations and global models to evaluate the role of aerosol radiative effects on the land carbon sink. Atmospheric CO2 concentra...
AI-Based Equation Discovery and Deep Learning for Predicting Large-Scale Climate Dynamics and Precipitation Extremes
Extreme rainfall is occurring more frequently and with greater intensity due to global warming resulting in an increasing number of extreme flooding events worldwide. Extreme flood...
Using novel modelling approaches to investigate the evolution of symmetry in early animals.
Symmetry is a fundamental property of the major animal body plans that originated over half a billion years ago.Determining why different types of symmetry evolved is difficult bec...
Evaluating the health of treescapes in polluted urban environments
Urban trees provide numerous ecosystem services and support biodiversity, but are subject to a potent combination of anthropogenic stressors. Pollution, drought and heat stress are...
Assessing Amazon forest vulnerability and resilience to dry periods across soil moisture and microenvironmental gradients
Climate-change-related droughts in the Amazon rainforest can cause widespread tree mortality, resulting in large carbon emissions, with potential feedbacks to regional and global c...
Optimizing Greenhouse Gas Removal and Carbon Markets to Stimulate Policy Towards Climate Resilience
The project aims to understand the different Greenhouse Gas technologies (GGR) and to provide insight into the methods that can help reach the gigaton level of removal required to...
PhD Quantifying antibiotic resistance and antibiotic resistance selective chemicals in the River Almond Catchment Area - a baseline for risk assessmen
Determine the abundance of antibiotic resistance (AR) and investigate the links with AR selective chemicals in a river impacted by multiple pollution sources to provide a baseline...
