Virtual Integration of Satellite and In-Situ Observation Networks (VISION)
The recent expansion in satellite Earth observations is providing an ever growing set of data that can help us understand the Earth System. This is mirrored by the increase in in-s...
SPLASH: digital approaches to predict wave hazards
With sea level rise accelerating and coastal populations increasing, the requirement of accurate tools to predict natural hazards and mitigate damages to infrastructure, property a...
SPLASH: digital approaches to predict wave hazards
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...

Seeing in the dark: evolution of supraglacial lakes on the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets during polar night
The Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets are responsible for about a third of global sea level rise as a result of increased melting and changes to ice flow.Supraglacial lakes (SGLs)...
NSFGEO-NERC: Understanding the Response to Ocean Melting for Two of East Antarctica's Most Vulnerable Glaciers: Totten, and Denman
This project focuses on Totten and Denman glaciers, East Antarctica, which are influenced by ice-shelf melting. In situ observations constraining the ocean heat content causing the...
NSFGEO-NERC: After the cataclysm: cryptic degassing and delayed recovery in the wake of Large Igneous Province volcanism
Large Igneous Province (LIP) volcanism is associated with extraordinary mantle melting and voluminous eruptive episodes, which have been linked to mass extinctions of life througho...
Can antibiotics disrupt biogeochemical nitrogen cycling in the coastal ocean?
Marine environments are under growing pressure from antibiotics, sourced from wastewater treatment plants or aquaculture farms, for example.Antibiotics can inhibit the role that mi...
UK SWAIS 2C
As our planet is warming, global mean sea level is rising. Since the year 1900 this rise in sea level has been ~ 20 cm, initially due to the expansion of water under warmer tempera...
Air-pollution Innovation in Regional-forecasts utilising operational Satellite Applications and Technologies (AIRSAT)
Deteriorating air quality (AQ) is an ongoing challenge for all major global economies and is now recognised as the largest environmental stress on human health. Key air pollutants...
Temperature and Heat Stress in Forests
Temperature shifts as a result of climate change and deforestation are set to increase the risk of heat stress in many tropical forests[1].Particularly in a context of deforestatio...
Advancing our understanding of dimethyl sulfide oxidation products by field observations of formaldehyde and photolysis frequencies
Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) from marine biogenic emissions is the largest natural source of sulphur in the atmosphere and a major aerosol precursor (Carslaw et al., 2010). With anthropo...
Modeling climate futures, impacts, response and adaptation options for Arctic communities
The Arctic is undergoing transformative climate change, with profound implications for transportation systems. The lengthening of the shipping season in the Arctic Ocean is well-do...
Development of a Knowledge Exchange Network for Sustainable Cocoa Farming
Cocoa is an important cash crop in the humid tropics supporting an estimated 5-6 million mainly smallholder farmers. The crop also supports the confectionary industry worldwide, sp...
Future Treescapes in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty: Expansion and Resilience in the Chiltern Hills and Beyond
'Future Treescapes in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty' is a collaborative project that brings together the work of agricultural researchers, landscape professionals,...
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...
NI - Dissolved Organic matter subduction and transport along the east Greenland MArgin (DOGMA)
At 2 petagrams of carbon per year, the downward export of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from the ocean surface represents a large fraction (>15%) of the total carbon seques...
Controls on iron availability to marine phytoplankton
Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide (CO2) are causing climate change, global warming, and ocean acidification.Microscopic plants called phytoplankton, liv...
Tracking sediment waves through Himalayan fluvial cascades following extreme mass flows
Mountain landscapes experience sudden and violent geohazards, such as landslides, lake outburst floods, and debris flows. The size and frequency of such events is anticipated to in...
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...
