The Fitness Value of Temporal Cognition in Bees
From motor control and communication to predator avoidance and foraging, animals must navigate an environment that changes dynamically in time. For this reason, in many domains the...
Gravel barrier resilience in a changing climate (#gravelbeach)
Beach and barrier systems with a substantial gravel fraction, including 'pure', 'composite' and 'mixed sand-gravel', are common globally at mid to hig...
Unlocking the sensory secrets of predatory wasps: towards predictive tools for managing wasps' ecosystem services in the Anthropocene
Humans are modifying the planet at a rate never experienced before, marking a new era - the Anthropocene. Land-use change, pollutants and climate change bring a plethora of challen...
Drivers and Impacts of Extreme Weather Events in Antarctica (ExtAnt)
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research.This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because i...
UKGravelBarriers
The objective of this NERC highlight topic is to deliver an enhanced understanding and modelling capability of gravel barrier systems to support more sustainable coastal management...
Developing solutions for temperature-related health impacts in the UK
There is growing recognition that ambient temperature and other climate factors can affect the health of the UK population via multiple pathways, ranging from direct impacts such a...
Interacting ice Sheet and Ocean Tipping - Indicators, Processes, Impacts and Challenges (ISOTIPIC)

NSFGEO-NERC: Investigating the direct influence of meltwater on Antarctic Ice Sheet dynamics
Surface melting is widespread around the periphery of Antarctica and predicted to increase significantly. This could impact sea-level rise by allowing surface-derived meltwater to...
Taxonomic Principles and Tools in Botanical Research
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:/...
NSFGEO-NERC: The history of the Earth's magnetic field strength over the last five million years: Filling in the southern hemisphere gap
Despite significant progress, fundamental questions regarding the average field strength and its variation through time remain.We are particularly interested in the hypothesis that...

Amazon-SOS: a Safe Operating Space for Amazonian Forests
The overall aim of this project is to determine and communicate the risk of significant change to the Amazon rainforest caused by anthropogenic disturbance and climate change. We w...
NERC - NSFGEO: Pliocene Lessons for the Indian Ocean Dipole (PLIOD)
Climate patterns in the Indian Ocean impact freshwater availability for over a billion people. For example, large variability in the Indian Monsoon, either drought or extreme rain,...
PICANTE - Processes, Impacts, and Changes of ANTarctic Extreme weather
Extreme weather events, from heatwaves to flooding, are becoming stronger and more frequent in a visible manifestation of climate change. In Antarctica, extreme weather depletes th...
Precision Environmental Health
A significant quantity of chemicals originates from industrial processes, agricultural runoff, and domestic waste. These chemicals, via various routes, accumulate in the environmen...

The overall aim of this project is to determine and communicate the risk of significant change to the Amazon rainforest caused by anthropogenic disturbance and climate change. We w...
Nowcasting with Artificial Intelligence for African Rainfall: NAIAR
This project aims to use new digital solutions to create 0 to 6 hour predictions - nowcasting - for tropical storms using satellite data. The methods will be developed and rolled-o...
Functional ecology of the alpine cryptogamasphere in the face of change (CryptFunc)
Cryptogams (mosses, lichens) are a conspicuous part of the ecology of alpine and higher-latitude ecosystems, and are important for cycling carbon and nutrients.In particular, how c...
