Mitigation of Methane Emissions from Peatlands - a Role for Micro-propagated Sphagnum-Associated Methanotrophs
As the largest natural source of atmospheric methane, peatlands store over 30% of terrestrial carbon (Rodhe, 1990; Gorham, 1991; Hein et al., 1997), most of the carbon comes from S...
When is a wild-living cat a wildcat? Using carnivore guild interactions to decipher ecological function
Species partition resources in space and time, making coexistence possible. Nevertheless, intraguild aggression and interspecific killings are known to widely occur, especially amo...
Inference of ecological and environmental models
Ecological and environmental models are continually evolving. Within fisheries research , individual movement, environmental drivers, and interspecific interactions are key areas o...
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...
Evaluating role of biosolids derived biochar in addressing nutrients and diffuse pollution from arable land
Biosolids have been well documented to be used as renewable sources of fertilisers in the form of organo-mineral fertiliser (OMF). OMF involves combining organic waste with mineral...
A global understanding of forest-savanna transitions
Savannas dominate the tropics, and often occur in areas which could be forest, given the rainfall and soils. Why savannas are where they are, and how that might change under climat...
Integrating and predicting responses of natural systems to disturbances
Identifying the mechanisms that provide ecological systems with the ability to resist and recover from disturbances, or transition to alternative states, is fundamental to quantify...
CASP-ICE: Cryospheric Algal Sampling Protocols - International Collaboration and Exchange
Chlorophyte "snow algae" and Streptophyte "glacier algae" are found across the cryosphere, forming widespread algal blooms in snowpacks and on g...
Reconstructing UV radiation over the Laschamps Geomagnetic Excursion
The intensity of the Earth's magnetic field is currently decaying at a rate of ca. 5% per century. This recent evolution is unexplained and has led to speculation that our geo...
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...
IN-HABIT: Understanding physical limits and governance constraints on reef IslaNd HABITability
This Global Partnerships Seedcorn bid is focused on developing a new research collaboration primarily between UK and Indian scientists. Its primary aim is to start to address the c...
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...

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...

Homogeneous hydrocarbon oxidation using nitrous oxide as a sustainable feedstock
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas, with a half-life of 114-years in the atmosphere and global warming potential 300 times greater than carbon dioxide, and the dominant...

Measuring resilience and early warning signals of critical slowdown in forest and grassland habitats using time-series satellite data
Separate CENTA2 studentship proposal
The Environmental and Economic Assessment of Crop-Based Sustainable Aviation Fuel
This research aims to assess the viability of SAF by taking a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach as an entire air transport system. Three models are principally involved: land-us...
