Integrating Drivers of Atlantic Productivity (IDAPro)
The open ocean ecosystems which dominate the surface of our planet are all dependent on the generation of new organic matter by single celled organisms which are collectively terme...
Discriminating Deep Water Deposits for IODP Expedition 401: "Mediterranean-Atlantic Gateway Exchange" (Acronym: DISCRIMINATE)
Ocean basins are connected by gateways (e.g., Drake Passage), sometimes referred to as seaways, passages, straits, and corridors. Marine gateways play a critical role in the exchan...
Optimising Delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals: A New Synthesis of Soft and Hard Systems Approaches
Currently, there is no established methodology for implementing Doughnut Economics that fully accounts for the dynamic interaction between the targets. Researchers in GALLANT are w...
NERC-NSFGEO SMARTWATER: Diagnosing controls of pollution hot spots and hot moments and their impact on catchment water quality
Planetary boundaries of river water pollution are at risk of being breached, with dangerous consequences for human and environmental health, economic prosperity, and water security...
Quantifying the 2022-2023 altitudinal range-wide tree mass-mortality event and probability of forest loss in Central Chile
The Mediterranean-type ecosystems of central Chile are highly biodiverse and rich in species that occur nowhere else, furthermore, they represent the entire Mediterranean biome of...
Quantifying the impact of anthropogenic nutrient imbalance on C flux from freshwater lakes: cellular mechanisms, community assembly and modelling
Freshwater lakes are amongst the largest ecosystems on Earth, and a major contributor to both carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions, two potent greenhouse gases.The use...

FIAMME: (An international collaboration for a) Framework for Ignimbrite Analysis Methodologies for Modelling and hazard Evaluation
Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are deadly flows of ash, gas and rocks that form during volcanic eruptions. They can travel up to 200 km/h with internal temperatures up to 1000...
CoccolitHophore controls on ocean ALKalinitY (CHALKY)
Each year in the North Atlantic Ocean, a key region for the global carbon cycle, immense areas of surface water turn turquoise in summer. This phenomenon relates to the growth and...
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...
Improving public engagement for maximised benefits of forest and woodland expansion and creation
This knowledge exchange will bring together the research of several Future of UK Treescapes projects and apply it to a forest and woodland creation project - The Forth Climate Fore...
Partnership on Sea-Level change Along Brazilian Shores (SLABS)
Our proposed collaborative partnership between leading coastal and sea-level scientists from the University of York in the UK and the University of São Paulo, the Federa...

Fen Farming Futures: Benefits and drawbacks of sustainable farming on organic soils
In England, lowland peat occupies around 960 km2 and stores large amounts of carbon. Nearly all lowland fen peatland has been drained to provide some of the most fertile agricultur...
Assessing the geo-ecological consequences of the severe 2023 bleaching event on Mexican Caribbean coral reefs
Climate change generally, but especially the occurrence of major ocean thermal anomaly events, represents a major threat to the persistence of tropical coral reefs. This threat ari...
Quantifying Fluid Flow in Stressed & Fractured Carbonates
We urgently need to develop new renewable energy sources in the UK, and this will take international collaboration with those countries further along the development path. Our proj...
NSFDEB-NERC: Machine learning tools to discover balancing selection in genomes from spatial and temporal autocorrelations
Overview Balancing selection is a key driver of adaptive evolution that maintains variation within and across species. Yet, despite a few notable examples, little is known about re...
MAS-DT
The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) operates ocean gliders for the Met Office and Royal Navy to collect earth observations, driving ocean forecast models. These models, in turn,...
Synchronising Earth Observation and Modelling Frameworks Towards a Digital Twin Ocean (SyncED-Ocean)
SyncED-Ocean will deliver a digital twin (DT) pilot demonstrator of a coastal ocean ecosystem that uses and optimises EO data for assimilation to marine system models, augmented by...
FLOODTWIN
Water is an important driver for many environmental processes and can be key in the timing, scale and impact of natural hazards. Floods, landslides, storms and droughts are becomin...
