Is Tropical Deforestation Contributing To The Rise In Atmospheric Methane? (DefMet)
Methane (CH4) is the most important anthropogenically enhanced greenhouse gas in the atmosphere after CO2. Growth in CH4 is increasing, and is currently tracking too high to meet P...
Arctic dust from above and below: estimating the unseen contributions of northern high latitude dust sources
Emissions of mineral dust into the atmosphere from land surfaces susceptible to wind erosion are highly significant for understanding the Earth's environmental system as a who...
The cascade effect of flooding-drought cycles on aquatic ecosystems
Aquatic ecosystems are facing increasing pressures from anthropogenic and climate drivers, causing alarming deterioration in freshwater quality.Climate extremes are projected to in...
Floodplains under pressure-Multiple stressors impacts of pollution climate change and landscape management.
UK floodplains are crucial for healthy riverine ecosystems, but their functionality has been degraded by channel manipulation, agricultural use and pollution. Climate change may ad...
Evolution of cooperative resistance in microbial populations subject to fluctuating environments
Why does cooperation abound in Nature? Why are there so many coexisting species? These are issues of paramount importance and challenges to Darwinian evolution. In many microbial c...
Why does climate sensitivity depend on the type of forcing?
A key topic of current research is to understand the global temperature response to a given climate forcing, a metric known as climate sensitivity. Since atmospheric CO2 concentrat...
Can understanding large-scale dynamical drivers of the regional climate reduce uncertainty in European projections? (4965)
Project BackgroundClimate projections for Europe exhibit considerable uncertainty (Palmer et al., 2023). These uncertainties arise from different representations of dynamical and t...
Source tracking and risk assessment of human pathogens in riverine water
Due to increasing levels of urbanisation, agricultural activities and climate change, the number of waterborne and foodborne illnesses are increasing worldwide.Specifically, the ri...
Developing an urban canopy model for improved weather forecasts in cities
Most of the world's population now experiences an urban version of weather extremes and climate change. Accurate forecasting of weather and air quality in cities relies on cor...
Transport and spatial distribution of microplastics and byproducts, and associated risks to freshwater ecosystems.
Biofouling, the unintentional accumulation of sediments, chemicals, microbes and other organisms on submerged substrates, is exacerbated by the ubiquitous presence of microplastics...
Bouncing back from macroalgal-dominated reefs: microbial and chemical effects of algal removal and coral transplanting
Scientific background: Climate change is causing major ecological shifts, with important consequences for ecosystem functioning. In coral reefs, coral-algal transitions are the mos...
The strains of dating: Rb/Sr to the rescue?
Ductile shear zones accommodate vast amounts of strain in the crust and are a focus for fluids, magmas and elemental transfer. The rates and timescales of shear zone deformation, a...

Using Magnetic Susceptibility to examine lithium deposits in granitic intrusions
Project Summary (Please do not exceed 4000 characters, including spaces):Granite intrusions are key targets for deep geothermal energy and for key strategic resources needed for mo...
Muddy Feet: Dinosaurs Tiptoeing Through Tides
The continents and oceans have changed shape due to tectonics over billions of years, with substantial consequences for a range of Earth system processes, including tides, climate,...
Evaluating changes in Holocene and Anthropocene biodiversity and healthiness of English Peatlands
The Natural England Long Term Monitoring Network (LTMN) aims to track environmental change, and understand the causes of change, across a range of habitats. LTMN data is used by De...

Understanding Changes in Migration Timing in Scotland's Atlantic Salmon
Atlantic salmon are an important component of northern freshwater ecosystems.Salmon are born and spend their first years in freshwater; they then migrate to the ocean to feed and g...
Climatic sensitivity of reproductive phenology in Southeast Asian forest biomes
My prospective PhD thesis falls under plant and climate science, specifically biogeography and ecology amid a rapidly changing climate. Plant reproduction, i.e., flowering and frui...
