Ion Microprobe Facility
High-resolution, spatially-controlled geochemical and isotopic analysis is a specialised area of mass spectrometry that requires the use of highly focussed scientific techniques us...
Ecological role of offshore artificial structures
Energy production in the global oceans through renewables and hydrocarbons is critical for human society and continues to expand. Complex structures are routinely installed in the...
Suppression of air pollution via aerosol mediated removal of peroxy radicals
Air quality is a pressing societal concern with around 7 million people dying per year from the combined effect of outdoor and indoor air pollution. Two of the key pollutants are g...
Hidden Frontiers: longitudinal crop trajectories in the Alpine Arc
Climate change is predicted to negatively impact global agriculture, and if we are to prevent systemic crop failure, it is urgent to do all we can to better understand crop adaptab...
ECOFLU : Understanding the ecology of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in wild bird populations
Wildlife populations naturally experience a wide range of infections and disease. Understanding how they circulate in the environment, how they are evolving over time and how diffe...
Evolution of Emerging Post-glacial Landscapes induced by a Changing Climate
Emerging post-glacial landscapes are highly dynamic and transient, with periglacial and fluvial processes at work in settings that exhibit a strong legacy of recent glaciation (Bay...
Determining the origin and evolutionary history of volatiles on Earth
With its surface covered in liquid water, the Earth stands out amongst the other planets of the solar system as the only known haven capable of supporting life. But what makes the...
Exploiting the GEOTRACES toolbox to characterize ocean biogeochemical processes: trace elements, isotopes and new quasi-conservative tracers.
One of the key targets in current environmental research is an advanced understanding of Earth's climate, in particular the complex feedback mechanisms between climate, oceani...
Quantifying the impact of restoration on peatland aquatic organic matter, microbial communities and greenhouse gas emissions
We are in a climate emergency. Reducing emissions of greenhouse gases is not enough to reduce global temperatures: we need to use nature to help. Peatlands are an extremely importa...
Constraining the role of the marine sulfur cycle in the Earth System (CARES)
The marine sulfur cycle is an exemplar of a climatically important biogeochemical cycle within the Earth system (initially described by the CLAW hypothesis). Marine sulfate aerosol...
Future of UK Treescapes Ambassadors
The Future of UK Treescapes is an exciting programme of research designed to add to our understanding of where woodland expansion should in future take place, what it should look l...
Modelling the impact of geomagnetically induced currents on UK railways
Space weather encompasses a range of environmental phenomena, ultimately driven by solar activity. The emission of solar energy and material directed towards Earth can drive electr...
The Impact of a Pesticide Ban on a Pollinator Community
THE IMPORTANT ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGE BEING ADDRESSED: Pollinators provide a crop pollination service worth £174 to £346 billion each year and 90% of flowering...
Seabed Mining And Resilience To EXperimental impact
Over a 6 million square km region of the central Pacific ocean, at abyssal depths of almost five thousand metres, lies a vast mineral resource in the form of small potato-sized dep...
Enabling Sustainable Wind Energy Expansion in Seasonally Stratified Seas (eSWEETS3)
The need for the UK to shift to NetZero was highlighted at COP26 in Glasgow, and there is a clear need for UK energy security. UK policy to achieving these is based on massive expa...
A next-generation electron microprobe to push the frontiers of in situ microanalysis for Earth and environmental science
Quantitative in situ microanalysis of natural and synthetic materials underpins cutting-edge, high-impact research across the Earth and environmental sciences. Electron probe micro...
NERC Earth Observation Data Analysis and Artificial-Intelligence Service (NEODAAS)
The vision for NEODAAS is to provide NERC and UKRI academic communities with flexible, responsive and innovative national capability in Earth Observation (EO) data analysis using s...
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...
How will Emperor Penguins Respond to Changing Ice Conditions (EPIC)?
In 2021, the first full inventory of emperor penguin colonies in Antarctica was generated using satellite imagery. It is therefore not surprising that their population vulnerabilit...
EEFIT mission: September 2023 Morocco earthquake
Following Morocco's significant earthquake on September 8th, 2023, with a magnitude of (Mw) 6.8 and over 3,000 casualties affecting around 6.6 million people, the United Kingd...
