New Phosphorus- and Boron-Containing Allene Analogues for Small Molecule Activation and Catalysis
EPSRC : Vesela Zarkina : EP/R513209/1This project will develop new abundant-element systems for catalytically relevant chemistry. It will establish phosphorus/boron containing alte...
ELUCIDATING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF NANOPLASTICS
Millions of tons of plastic are discharged annually into ecosystems, endangering human health and biota. Plastic waste fragments into tiny particles known as nanoplastics (NPs), wh...
Developing geochemical vectors to aid the discovery of metamorphosed seafloor Zn-Cu-Au deposits
This project will develop new geochemical tools to aid the discovery of volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits in high-grade metamorphic terranes.
SLAM with Reinforcement Learning for highly dynamic scenes
Unmanned systems are growing fast, and there is an urgent need to improve the robustness and efficiency of such systems. Quadrotors are one prime example, which can be used in a va...
Quantifying magmatic processes of pantellerites from Mayor Island (Tuhua), Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand
Mayor island is a Quaternary island of New Zealand found westwards of the Taupo Volcanic Zone. The island exhibits a wide range of eruption styles and sizes, including catastrophic...
Distributed Strain, Temperature and Acoustic seNsing Suite (DiSTANS)
The DiSTANS project will use state-of-the-art technology to provide a brand-new method of monitoring changes underground. This offers the possibility of game-changing data capture...
A UK-based internally heated pressure vessel (IHPV) system for studying geological and environmental processes at crustal pressures
Earth's chemical evolution is mediated by exchanges of mass and heat between its hot interior and cool exterior. Many of these exchanges occur under high pressure and temperat...
Improving environmental research through the isotope analysis of ever smaller archives
We aim to set up the first UK-based Thermal Ionisation Mass Spectrometer equipped with a new generation of ultra-sensitive detectors (hereafter referred to as microTIMS).This new g...
Microfluorination for Oxygen isotopes in Biogenic Silica (MOBiS)
Human-induced climate change has altered natural environments and human systems around the world, with widespread and increasingly severe impacts that are beyond natural climate va...
Scientific and technological innovation from mineral geonomics - a dual source microfocus single-crystal diffractometer for UK geoscience
Minerals are critically involved in all global processes, including deep earth tectonics and geohazards, dynamic environmental changes at the Earth's surface, and forming the...
A Swiss army knife for aerosol composition - a community Chemical Ionisation Mass Spectrometry facility
The capital asset is a next-generation community capability to measure atmospheric composition that can be used to address critical science and policy-related problems across the N...
Next-Gen CT for environmental sciences
We propose the acquisition of a state of the art, next generation X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) scanner.This will be housed at the Hounsfield Facility, a centre dedicated to CT fo...
Automated in situ Plankton Imaging and Classification System (APICS)
Marine plankton are defined as organisms with zero or small swimming velocities, which move passively with ocean currents. The definition covers a taxonomically and morphologically...
BRICS: Biology's Role In ocean Carbon Storage - a gap analysis
The ocean is a large carbon reservoir which contains fifty times the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Biological processes contribute to carbon storage in the ocean on climate-r...
INSITE Synthesis
There is an accelerating shift away from oil and gas towards more renewable sources of energy. Many thousands of marine man-made structures (MMS) have been installed to service off...
Designing Biodiversity Markets for Nature Recovery
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...
Tokenising Biodiversity: The Construction and Scaling of Rewilding Tokens
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...
Biodiversity and the water cycle: can rewilding mitigate the impacts of hydrological extremes?
Managing and responding to floods and droughts in the UK demands vast amounts of public spending, and the frequency and severity of extreme high and low flows will increase under f...
Synthesis and critical assessment of management tools to mainstream biodiversity in decision-making in the private sector
Most businesses depend on biodiversity, either directly or through their supply chains. Biodiversity provides critical resources on which businesses depend. In negatively impacting...
Fragmentation and melt of Arctic sea ice
Arctic sea ice is an important agent, and indicator, of climate change; the rapid decline of sea ice in past decades has been a wake-up call to scientists, policy-makers, and the g...
