Silicon CycLing IN Glaciated environments
The polar regions are experiencing the most rapid climate change observed on Earth: temperatures are rising in some regions of the Arctic and Antarctic at more than double the glob...
Listen, Learn & Leap: Co-producing Equitable and Sustainable Nature-based Solutions for Climate Resilience in East African Cities
Cities in East Africa face various challenges that exacerbate climate-related risks and complicate resilience-building. In Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya, the potential...
Co-designing effective Nature-based Solutions in coastal West Africa
Communities living near coasts are increasingly at risk from coastal flooding as climate change raises sea-levels and causes storms to occur more frequently. Mangrove forests can h...
Wide-area low-cost sustainable ocean temperature and velocity structure extraction using distributed fibre optic sensing within legacy seafloor cables
Sound travels 1000s of kilometres underwater; depending on its frequency, its variety of wavelengths enables probing of the ocean from millimeters to megameters.In this project, we...
ROLE SPECIALIZATION AND PLASTICITY AT THE ORIGIN OF EUSOCIALITY
The evolution of eusociality, where some individuals forfeit their own reproduction to help others, represents one of the major evolutionary transitions. The fundamental feature of...
Drivers and Impacts of Extreme Weather Events in Antarctica (ExtAnt)
ExtAnt will provide the first comprehensive assessment of present day and future high impact extreme weather events in Antarctica, and associated risks. Key risks include impacts o...
Amazon-SOS: a Safe Operating Space for Amazonian Forests
The overall aim of this project is to determine and communicate the risk of significant change to the Amazon rainforest caused by anthropogenic disturbance and climate change. We w...

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...
Optimising Nature's pharmacies: plant chemicals and pollinator health at the landscape scale
Bumble bees are not just the beloved buzz of summer meadows, they are essential to the fertilisation of wild flowers, and without them and other flower-visiting insects many of our...
Synergistic global change impacts on belowground biodiversity and carbon stocks in mountain ecosystems
Soil is one of the most complex and important resources on earth. It harbours vast biodiversity that underpins an array of ecosystem functions. Soil also stores more carbon (C) tha...
The Use of Coralliths as a Reef Restoration Tool
This PhD will investigate coral reef restoration and enhancement with regard to the use of corallith (mobile coral) species, with an aim to improve efficiency of restoration by sup...
Rotten Rocks at the Heart of Black Smoker Systems
Volcanic deformation can be caused by a broad range of processes related to the movement and evolution of magma.The type of processes detectable depends on the temporal and spatial...
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...

Resilient and Equitable Nature-based Pathways in Southern African Rangelands (REPAiR)
Rangelands cover over half of the world's land surface, play a vital role in carbon sequestration, support biodiversity, supply freshwater, and sustain billions of livelihoods...
Building Partnerships to Conserve Limestone Pavements
Limestone pavements support a wide range of biodiversity including a number of rare or threatened species. They are an internationally important habitat but despite this, there is...

Contagious by Nature: Understanding Optimisation of Social Networks in Wild Populations
In any society, the invisible web of diverse forms of social interactions that link individuals together can be conceptualised as their 'social network'. This network pro...
The combined impacts of climate change induced environmental variation (salinity and temperature) and pollutant mixtures on stress response in a typi
Estuaries are highly dynamic ecosystems occupying unique locations between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, covered by intermittent or permanent shallow e water layers and exhib...
Developing and evaluating Impact-based Forecasting (IbF) for flooding
Overview: Flooding affects more people globally than any other natural hazard and the number of events is increasing with the recent 20-year period (2000-2019) recording more than...
