Protecting children's health through forecast based anticipatory action (PROCHAIN)
Ninety eight percent of child deaths occur in poor country contexts. The leading cause of these deaths are neonatal disorders (i.e. happening to the newborn, or within the first 28...
EMPreSS: Enhanced Methane Monitoring Precision with a Multi-Agent UAV System Solution
Methane causes 30% of today's man-made global warming, but our understanding of industrial emissions across different regions and sectors is critically lacking: this makes it...
Modelling the impact of geomagnetically induced currents on UK railways
Space weather encompasses a range of environmental phenomena, ultimately driven by solar activity. The emission of solar energy and material directed towards Earth can drive electr...
Processes drIving Submarine Canyon fluxES
The shallow shelf seas that surround all the continents are connected to the deep open ocean by a steep continental slope, which rises from thousands of metres beneath the ocean su...
AQUAWAVE: Advancing Quality and Understanding of Wave Conditions in new Aquaculture Environments
What is the main project aim?The overall aim of this knowledge exchange project is to use academic expertise to help prepare the UK aquaculture sector for the challenging wave cond...
TWISTA (The Wide-ranging Impacts of STratospheric smoke Aerosols)
There is much new evidence of stratospheric intrusions of smoke from intense pyro-cumulonimbus (pyroCb) events from wildfires. These events appear to be increasing in frequency, in...
Defragmenting the fragmented urban landscape (DEFRAG)
The UK has an exciting opportunity to radically improve the urban environment through the government's commitment to the creation of more "green infrastructure&qu...
NSFGEO-NERC: Direct comparison of ocean temperature and velocity structure from in-situ measurements and distributed optical fiber sensing
Despite the many significant leaps in understanding brought about by technological progress in ocean observations, a crucial blind spot remains in our ocean observing capabilities:...
The influence of lithospheric structure and composition on the distribution of CO2-rich intraplate volcanism and REE mineralisation
Most of the Earth's volcanism occurs at the diverging and converging boundaries of tectonic plates. While igneous activity is less common in intraplate continental settings, t...
Chemistry of emissions at lava-urban interfaces
Lava flows from eruptions on Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland started burning urban structures on 14 January 2024. Volcanic emissions and urban fires, respectively, are known to cont...
GRIM-SAF: Ground and Inflight Measurements involving SAF
Aviation is estimated to grow by 4.3% p.a. over the next 20-years. Any changes in emissions must be consistent with national, international and industrial climate strategies, which...
The effect of transitioning to sustainable aviation fuels on contrails and climate (SAFice)
Contrail cirrus clouds, that evolve from line-shaped clouds that form in the wake of aircraft in the middle and upper troposphere, are an important part of the climate impacts of a...
REVEAL-NOx: Reducing aviation Emissions' uncertain climate impacts: NOx
To achieve Net Zero, we require a complete understanding of the climate impacts of Near-Term Climate Forcers (NTCFs). Aviation NOx emissions (ANE) represent a major uncertainty in...
Modelling Aviation Global climate Impacts from Contrails and Aerosols (MAGICA)
Current best estimates indicate that aviation contributes ~5% to global warming, with a significant proportion caused by non-CO2 effects. The largest of these non-CO2 effects is du...
Quantifying and Reducing aviation Contrail radiative forcing (QR-CODE)
IPCC stresses that limiting warming to 1.5 oC requires "reaching net zero CO2 emission globally around 2050". Aviation is one of the most important economic secto...
Contrails from SAF and H2 combustion; from lab experiments to global mitigation policy
Aviation contributes approximately 3.5% to global anthropogenic radiative forcing and the non-CO2 emissions account for about 2/3 of the net radiative forcing. The relative contrib...
Climate Responses to Aviation NOx Emissions (CRANE)
The context of the work: Theme 1.2 - "Better understanding the formation of nitrogen oxides emissions from aircraft and their climate impact" and "increa...
Contrail Observations And Lifecycle Tracking (COBALT)
Clouds formed by aircraft (contrails) are the most easily visible human forcing of the climate system. Trapping energy in the Earth system, they contribute more than half of the to...
How will Emperor Penguins Respond to Changing Ice Conditions (EPIC)?
In 2021, the first full inventory of emperor penguin colonies in Antarctica was generated using satellite imagery. It is therefore not surprising that their population vulnerabilit...
Ocean-Bottom Broadband Seismic Imaging: Understanding our Dynamic Earth
UK researchers are world-leaders in the use of seismic signals propagating through the Earth. On land, NERC's GEF provide many tens of instruments of various types. No similar...
