Accelerating access to Antarctic sea-floor environments with a low-cost, low-logistics deep water AUV swarm
Critical interactions between ice sheet flow, the oceans and tides, and the subglacial bed, occur in the zone of ice sheets where they lift off their base - the grounding zone.Desp...
LIBS-Hyperscan: ultra-high resolution element scanning and molecular mapping of environmental archives
Earth and environmental scientists use a range of natural archives to understand how climate, ecosystems, biogeochemical cycles, landscapes, and human-environment interactions have...
MULTI-STRESS: Quantifying the impacts of multiple stressors in multiple dimensions to improve ecological forecasting
Our world is characterised by change, driven largely by human activities. These activities - such as the harvesting of natural resources and emission of greenhouse gases - put pres...
Identifying orbital- and sub-orbital-scale controls on the Asian summer monsoon: a 500,000 year hydroclimate record from Nam Co, Tibet [NamCore-UK]
The Tibetan Plateau, located north of the Himalaya mountain range, is a large geographical area with an elevation greater than 4 km above sea-level. It is called "The Thir...
Job share: Embedding environmental and geospatial science in nature recovery and rewilding
Nature recovery projects that enable and support nature-driven processes and promote wilder nature for the benefit of people and wildlife are central to addressing the global envir...
Investigating biological uptake of nitrous oxide in soils
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...
NI: DEEPHEAT: Digging deep Earth for heat to promote environmental sustainability
Geothermal energy provides an important alternative to fossil fuels, both for heating and for electricity generation.EGS (enhanced geothermal systems) enables the targeting of deep...
Sustainable Multi-Hazard UK Sea Level Monitoring Network
The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) aims to establish a small Sustainable Multi-Hazard UK Sea Level Monitoring (SMUK SLM) network at 7 key locations with the aims of: (1) restor...
Next Generation Moveable Scanning Cloud Radar
NCAS' Moveable Scanning Ka-band Cloud Radar is a portable radar that principally measures clouds, precipitation and winds. Since its acquisition in 2015, the radar has become...
OXY-MOBILE: a mobile atmospheric O2 and CO2 community asset for carbon cycle research
The 2020s and 2030s are critical decades for reducing carbon emissions and mitigating the effects of climate change. As societies move towards net-zero emissions, it has never been...
Testing evolutionary hypotheses for the long-term maintenance of balanced immunogenetic polymorphisms in a wildlife model
Infectious diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in humans, livestock and wild animals. Although the immune system has evolved as a defence against infection and pl...
Glider-based Acoustic Monitoring of Ocean Sound
Ocean noise levels have increased substantially over the past 50-years. Shipping, resource exploitation and offshore construction increasingly dominate ocean soundscapes. At the sa...
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...
Sex-specific fitness landscapes in the evolution of egg-laying vs live-birth
The evolution of live-birth (viviparity) from egg-laying (oviparity) is regarded as one of biology's great and repeated transitions. Making and laying eggs, which develop and...
Ground based Atmospheric Profiling of GreenHouse Gases (GAP-GHG)
The UK's target to reach net zero emissions by 2050 requires a coordinated approach to decarbonise all sectors. Transparent monitoring and verification are essential to manage...
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...
The abiotic and biotic factors determining microbial respiration, a key process in ocean carbon storage (MicroRESPIRE)
The balance between the production of organic carbon during phytoplankton photosynthesis and its consumption by bacterial, zooplankton and phytoplankton respiration determines how...
Mechanics of dyke intrusion in oblique-slip tectonic settings: Unravelling the causes of the March 2022 rare seismic swarm in Sao Jorge Island, Azores
Geological dykes - sheets of rock that are often oriented vertically or steeply inclined to the bedding of preexisting rocks - typically intrude because stresses either 1) overcome...
NAVIGATE: Understanding NAture's multiple Values for InteGrATion into dEcisions
Human activities are directly and indirectly depleting the World's natural resources. At the same time, we rely on these resources for our livelihoods and well-being. Urgent a...
Agroforestry Futures
UK nature-based solutions, such as tree planting, must engage with the agricultural sector, given that agriculture uses more than 70 per cent of the land in the UK and is a major e...
