Contrail assessment of future aircraft and propulsion architectures
The contrail climate impact of future low-CO2 aircraft will be assessed, incorporating rigorous analysis of turbulence/microphysics interactions into climate-optimised aircraft des...
Nature of the beast? Resolving drivers of prey choice, competition and resilience in wolves
Wolves were well-established members of the Pleistocene (Ice Age) carnivore community in Europe but today, many surviving populations of these charismatic animals are endangered be...
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...
Coral Reef Dynamics Across Longitude, Latitude, and Depth
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...
NSFGEO-NERC: The Cracking of a Craton: Understanding Volatile Release during Continental Breakup
Volatile elements (hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen) played an essential role in the secular evolution of the solid Earth and the eventual emergence of life.Over Earth history, volatiles...
Explosive-effusive volcanic eruption transitions caused by pyroclast sintering
This project will address a first-order challenge in volcanology - understanding the controls on transitions in eruption style and intensity during the most hazardous eruptions. Mo...
Sedimentary controls on megathrust earthquake mechanisms
Earthquakes that form at subduction zones, where the Earth's tectonic plates converge, are the largest on Earth, measuring up to magnitude 9-9.5. As well as seismic shaking, t...
Defrosting the Arctic Ocean layer cake
Dramatic sea ice loss (e.g. Polyakov et al., 2023) - a "defrosting" of the Arctic has occurred as it warms 4 times faster than elsewhere (Rantanen et al, Nature,...
Sniffing out snails: The use of dogs in detection of zoonotic parasite intermediate hosts
This interdisciplinary project will assess the potential for dogs to detect snail intermediate hosts of zoonotic trematode parasites, comparing their efficacy with current techniqu...
Multiscale Emission Accounting and Emission Reduction Pathways for Achieving Well-being in Human-centred Everyday Life from a Systems Integration Pers
In the global context of climate change, obtaining accurate estimations of carbon emissions represents a pivotal element in actualizing sustainability objectives. The academic comm...
Hybridization and climate change in Alpine orchids
Hybridization is common in flowering plants, yet parental species are usually maintained. Gymnadenia orchids hybridize (Hedrén et al 2018), and hybrids occur in limited...
Understanding the interaction of seagrass, kelp forest and maerl habitat mosaics within the coastal seascape for quantification of Blue Carbon sequest
The value of the marine environment as a key ally in the journey to mitigate climate change has been widely recognised in the scientific literature (Bindoff et al. 2019), and more...
Exploitation of Extracellular Vesicles via Ellipsometry - Diagnostics of the Liver Fluke
Fasciola hepatica (Fh) infection leads to human/animal fasciolosis causing substantial clinical/subclinical symptoms. We have developed a novel assay based on protein ellipsometry...
The Physical Climate System
The project will be updated after the proposal is submitted in term 3.
Climate variability and societal responses in pre-Columbian South America
Global warming is causing significant changes in rainfall, water availability, and agricultural productivity across tropical South America, increasing poverty and leading to migrat...
Diabatic influences on current and future hazardous Mediterranean cyclones
The Mediterranean basin is home to diverse storms from weak systems generated by air interacting with mountains to intense cyclones (also termed "depressions"). A...
Integrating Conservation Genetics, Population Genetics, and eDNA Metabarcoding to understand and manage the Endangered Fen Raft Spider in the UK
This project aims to build on recent innovations in eDNA and metabarcoding to develop non-invasive tools to detect and monitor populations of the globally threatened, semi-aquatic...
I do like to be beside the seaside: Understanding how environmental assets influence who and how people engage with the coast and its wellbeing benefi
The UK coastal and marine environment has a rich recreational and cultural value. It facilitates many ways in which people can engage and use it, and studies have shown this has ma...
The impact of artificial light at night on optimal foraging, trophic networks and ecosystem services
Background: Artificial light at night (ALAN) affects invertebrate abundance and function1 with downstream impacts on ecological processes and ecosystem services2 including trophic...
Revolutionizing Tuberculosis Diagnostics: A Graphene Oxide-Based Biosensor for Enhanced Sensitivity and Selectivity in Cord Factor Detection
"Bovine tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease which affects a broad range of mammalian hosts. The disease can be transmitted in several ways; for example, by direct...
