Understanding the atmospheric transport and fate of fluorinated Persistent Organic Pollutants with global models
Perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) are persistent pollutants found widely in the global environment where they have a range of adverse effects.Ecological risks from long-chain PFCAs...
How hot was the Jurassic Greenhouse climate?
Examination of warm intervals in Earth's history help develop insight into the behavior of the climate system under elevated carbon dioxide and temperature. One such interval...
Towards Safe Geological Disposal of Radioactive Waste in Lower-Strength Sedimentary Rocks (GeoSafe).
The UK has been generating electricity from nuclear power for over sixty years. Nuclear power generates 15% of the UK's electricity as of 2023, and current government plans ca...
Towards improved conservation of the east coast of Scotland bottlenose dolphin population: quantifying and understanding a major range expansion into
*northeast England.The east coast bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) population has been studied since 1989 as part of a collaborative project focused in two main study areas,...
Applying multi-omics in environmental 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:/...
Nature-based solutions for mountain water security
Globally, around 1.5 billion people depend on mountain water resources. This is especially the case for the tropical Andes, where the natural "water towers" of th...
Accelerating the computation of air quality projections over India using novel computing
Nitrate aerosol is likely to be an important contributor to future air pollution events and will become more important in time as emissions of sulphur dioxide decline due to air qu...
Agroecosystems in a Climate Crisis: Using Big Data to understand the Out of the Ordinary
Disruptive climate change is already being observed in the UK, with 2020 being the first year to feature in the top-10 for temperature, precipitation and sunlight. Between 2011-202...
Biodiversity and the Evolving Earth: New Data, New Methods, New Insights
In this project, new computational tools will be developed and applied to understand what drives evolution of life and landscapes on Earth. We will examine how biodiversity is gene...
Drivers of the Body Size Distributions in Phanerozoic Tetrapods
Body size has long been recognized as an important aspect of animal biology1, which influences not only an individual's physiology and energy requirements2, but also broader t...
Interactions between biology, environmental and anthropogenic factors on the exploitation of pelagic species by the Scottish fleet
Herring and mackerel are migratory species and targeted seasonally during spawning and/or feeding aggregations.These species comprise 80% by weight of the Scottish pelagic fisherie...
Predicting physiological impacts of disturbance on marine mammals: Implications for population-level effects
The increasing urbanisation of marine environments poses a risk for marine populations. The Population Consequences of Disturbance (PCoD) model is a conceptual modelling framework...
Grass half full? Adapting the hydrological management of grazed lowland peatlands to balance climate change mitigation with agriculture
Over 10% of the UK's land surface is covered by peat, representing the country's largest carbon store.Much of this land has now been modified by drainage to support grazi...
TWISTA (The Wide-ranging Impacts of STratospheric smoke Aerosols)
There is much new evidence of stratospheric intrusions of smoke from intense pyro-cumulonimbus (pyroCb) events from wildfires. These events appear to be increasing in frequency, in...
NC S&F In-situ 14C Facility
Cosmogenic in-situ 14C refers to the carbon-14 that is formed by cosmic ray interaction within the crystal lattice of surface materials.In-situ 14C allows researchers to measure pr...
SOCCATOA: Soil Organic Carbon Change: A Tool for the Accreditation of land-based climate change mitigation activities
Soil carbon markets are emerging to incentivise farmers for management changes that sequester atmospheric carbon. To make such schemes verifiable and free from "greenwashi...
Geophysical Equipment Facility
Case for Support of the Geophysical Equipment Facility
Adaptive multi-nutrient monitoring system (ADAPT-NP)
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...
Cryptic microbial hydrocarbon cycling in the ocean
This PhD explores a hidden hydrocarbon cycle between phototrophic and heterotrophic microbes, which has extensive implications ranging from global carbon cycling to oil-spill respo...
SenseH2O: a scalable, integrated systems-based approach to monitoring water quality from headwaters to river outlets
Freshwater ecosystems are critical to biodiversity as well as human health, wealth and wellbeing but are under substantial pressure from a range of catchment and climate stressors....
