The influence of extreme weather events on avian foraging and productivity
The project is due to look at the effect of extreme weather, such as the impacts of climate change, and anthropogenic disturbance on an avian species.The chosen study species is a...
Greening the tea: Ecolabelling and the shaping of conservation people and landscapes in Uganda
The project analyses how eco-labelling tea shapes people into conservation stewards whole beliefs and actions support biodiversity past protected areas, and how power relations med...
Anticipating ambiguity in the search for life in exoplanet reflectance spectra: an experimental approach
This project focuses on preparing for the analysis of next-generation reflectance spectra from exoplanets, aiming to differentiate between signs of extraterrestrial life and abioti...
Understanding the impact of geological controls on drainage network patterns
This project aims to quantify the impact of lithology and geologic structures on channel networks
Enhanced carbon export driven by internal tides over the mid-Atlantic ridge (CarTRidge)
Plankton in the ocean, microscopic plants (phytoplankton) and tiny animals (zooplankton) that eat the plants, are vital to marine life and to Earth's climate. They form the ba...
Elucidating Diversity Dynamics in Marine Tropical Hotspots (EDITH)
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...
Arctic climate variability and societal impacts 500-1500CE
The project will investigate the variability of the Greenland climate during the period 500-11500CE to better understand its role in driving societal change for the Dorset culture,...
Unravelling Structural and Biogeochemical Transformation of Nano-Metal Organic Framework: Impact on Ecotoxicity & Environmental Applications.
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...
A MISSING LINK between continental shelves and the deep sea: Addressing the overlooked role of land-detached submarine canyons
This ambitious project will enable a step change in understanding of the sporadic but large flows of sediment, climatically-important organic carbon, and pollutants through submari...
The changing nitrogen cycle in the Southern Ocean and the biological carbon pump
This PhD will use novel isotopic measurements of seawater nitrate in the Southern Ocean (around Antarctica) to understand and document how the nitrogen cycle is changing with globa...
Modelling the state of the martian core
This project will conduct high pressure and temperature experiments in diamond anvil cells to explore the thermodynamic properties of the martian core.
UNSEEN: Are unseen plastic particles in the global ocean already beyond the "no-effect" concentrations?
Studies investigating effects of nanoplastics (NPs) on aquatic organisms used concentrations between 2 to 7 order-of-magnitudes higher than those predicted in ocean to track NPs. T...
Molecular and Chemical Trait-based Approach in Understanding the Applicability of Himalayan Lichen for Nitrogen Pollution Biomonitoring
The Himalayan region is facing substantial stress of reactive nitrogen pollution origination from IndoGangantic Plain 1). The impacts of N can be observed in lichens which are cons...
Environmental Stress and Zoonotic Disease Emergence in Rangeland Herbivores Under Climate Warming
This project will investigate the relationship between environmental and host stress and the invasion of pathogens implicated in wildlife mortality events in diverse rangeland syst...
THE EVOLUTION OF GLOBAL FLOOD HAZARD AND RISK [EVOFLOOD]
Flooding is the deadliest and most costly natural hazard on the planet, affecting societies across the globe. Nearly one billion people are exposed to the risk of flooding in their...
Insertion and deletion variants: linking biological impact to evolutionary fate
To be completed
Managing shelf sea carbon cycles and greenhouse gas release from physical disturbance of the seafloor (C-floor)
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...
Climate predictions of feels-like temperatures with online machine learning
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...
HYDROTHERMAL CONTROLS ON CALDERA EXPLOSIVITY
Almost all active caldera volcanoes host hydrothermal systems that circulate a mixture of seawater, meteoric water and magmatic fluids through the subsurface geology to seeps or ve...
Understanding the mechanisms of microbial community assembly, stability and function
Microbial communities inhabit almost all natural environments and perform a wide range of important natural processes. For example, microbial communities decompose organic matter a...
