Greenland Ice Sheet and sea-level response under climate change from AD 1600 to 2100
The Greenland Ice Sheet contains enough mass to raise global sea-level by seven metres. Greenland Ice Sheet mass loss arising from global warming is currently the main icy contribu...
New Foraminiferal Proxies for Cenozoic Seawater Chemistry (ForSea)
The chemistry of the oceans has changed a lot over geological time and, exerts a major control on the long-term composition of the atmosphere and on how the Earth's environmen...
THERMOS:Thermal Safety Margins of Earth's Tropical Forests
Earth's tropical forests provide an array of ecosystem services, housing over 50% of global biodiversity, taking up 8-13% of annual anthropogenic CO2 emissions, recycling rain...
Why have space weather forecasts not improved for over a decade?
The solar wind is a continual outflow of material from the Sun, which fills the solar system. Rapid changes in the solar wind conditions in near-Earth space have consequences for t...
Functional ecology of the alpine cryptogamosphere in the face of change
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...
EXCESS: The role of excess topography and peak ground acceleration on earthquake-preconditioning of landslides
Landsliding is a collective term for physical processes that cause rock and soil to fail and move down slope. Landslides occur when steep slopes are destabilised by factors such as...
Eco-evolutionary dynamics of seasonally mobile systems
Many wild populations are now experiencing dramatic changes in environmental conditions, including changing seasonalities and increasing frequencies and severities of extreme clima...
Job share Knowledge Exchange Fellowship: Regenerative agriculture for sustainable plantation ecosystems
Plantation ecosystems underpin the production of a range of commodities including tea and coffee and supports the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers. However, these eco...
The properties, mechanisms, and hazards of interplate and intraplate earthquakes in India
Describe the research in simple terms in a way that could be publicised to a general audience. This will be made publicly available, and Applicants are responsible for ensuring tha...
Dynamic Risks for Cascading Himalayan Hazards
There are a wide range of natural hazards that impact communities living within, and at the edge of the Himalayan mountains; these are dominated by earthquakes, landslides and floo...
Quantifying earthquake hazard and enhancing resilience in India
The population of India lives under the threat of large and destructive earthquakes. Recent studies by this project team have revealed that the spatial nature of this threat varies...
People-Centered Tsunami early Warning for the INdian coastlines (PCTWIN)
The United Nations has called for every person on earth to be covered by warning systems. Tsunami events are responsible for greatest of losses compared to other more frequent haza...
Enhancing climate resilience in eastern Africa by co-developing equitable solutions to land degradation and supporting their implementation
Land degradation is a critical problem in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), which exacerbates vulnerabilities to climate change among agro-pastoralist and farming communities in the region...
Assessing ocean-forced, marine-terminating glacier change in Greenland during climatic warm periods and its impact on marine productivity (Kang-Glac)
The receding Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is now the largest contributor to global sea-level rise. A major driving force behind this recession is the encroachment of warm ocean water...

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...
CARAPACE: Calcite-Aragonite transition Across Pacific Atolls from the Cretaceous to the Eocene
We propose a new seagoing research campaign in the Mid Pacific and the Emperor's Seamount Chain regions. Specifically, we are interested in the architecture and geometries of...
Drivers of sub-seasonal and seasonal climate variability over East Africa and Applications to forecasting
This project will explore the drivers of climate variability on sub-seasonal to seasonal (S2S) timescales over East Africa, their representation in state of the art S2S forecasting...
Community assembly processes in miombo woodland
Tropical savanna woodlands are vast in global extent, providing vital habitat for large animals, stocking substantial carbon, and providing critical resources for local communities...
PARTITRICS: PARTIcle Transformation and Respiration Influence on ocean Carbon Storage
The ocean holds fifty times as much carbon as is in the atmosphere. Biological processes contribute to storing carbon in the ocean on climate-relevant timescales (hundreds to thous...
UKRI-Norway: Figuring Out how to Reconstruct Common Era forcing of climate by VOLcanoes with novel data and modelling approaches (FORCE-VOL)
Large volcanic eruptions can have a major impact on climate, due to the emission of sulfur gases, which form small droplets (aerosols) that reflect incoming sunlight and cool the E...
