Knowledge Exchange Fellowship: Bringing the data revolution to nature recovery
The recent rise in awareness of environmental issues has prompted a strong policy response from governments across the world. The UK and Devolved Governments' responses to thi...
Lost at Sea - where are all the tyre particles? (TYRE-LOSS)
In the UK 330 billion road miles are driven every year, generating particles of synthetic rubber as a consequence of friction between the tyre and the road surface. It has been est...
Paleogene to early Neogene calcareous nannoplankton biochronology and evolution (IODP Expedition 390/393)
Calcareous nannoplankton are microscopic marine algae that produce calcite exoskeletons (coccospheres/coccoliths) which can be found in almost all marine sediments in the geologica...
Dynamics of pollution transport in constructed wetlands: identification and quantification of underlying physical mechanisms of solute and solid (micr
Dynamics of pollution transport in constructed wetlands: identification and quantification of underlying physical mechanisms of solute and solid (microplastic) transport. Construct...
Effects of atmospheric Nitrogen pollution on Soil Carbon Sto rage and Greenhouse Gas Emission from Forests Soils
Conservation of forest ecosystems support a range of vital functions including providing habitat to wildlife, regulation of water resources and capturing atmospheric carbon dioxide...
Control of Earth's climate(s) by the polar Southern Ocean
How much heat and carbon will be taken up by the ocean in the future? This is one of the most pressing questions the scientific community must answer in order to help human society...
Ecology and conservation of pangolin using stable isotope forensics
The giant ground pangolin (Smutsia gigantea - Illiger, 1815) of the African lowland rainforest and savanna gallery forests is one of the world's least studied animals. It is t...
WATER CYCLING IN HIGH-ALTITUDE WETLANDS - IMPLICATIONS FOR WATER SECURITY IN THE PERUVIAN ANDES
Project Summary (Please do not exceed 4000 characters, including spaces): Project highlights:The development and validation of hydrological process understanding of high-altitude m...
Environmental microbes and gas fluxes: A systematic study of volatile reactive nitrogen oxides
A range of pollutant gases, and especially nitrogen (N) compounds (N2O, NO, NO2, etc.) are emitted to the atmosphere from terrestrial sources, including agriculture and natural eco...
Forests of the future: what, when and how will trees get their water?
The earth's atmosphere is changing, with increasing CO2 concentrations changing the way the planet looks through its impact on vegetation. The earth is getting greener in some...
Does Habitat Fragmentation impact the species assemblage of pollinators in relict Heathlands across a UK city?
Lowland Heath is a form of ancient landscape characterised by dwarf shrub heather communities. These important ecosystems create complex mosaic habitats that support valuable assem...
Energy Harvesting for Water Monitoring
There is a need to monitor the quality of water in rivers and pipelines, and this is often achieved using a variety of sensors that measure pH and composition.The deployment of a w...
Catastrophic emplacement and depositional processes during large asteroid impacts: lithofacies analysis and applied volcanology, Manicouagan (Canada)
When asteroids or comets collide with Earth they cause catastrophic shock, vaporisation, melting, fragmentation and ejection, significantly modifying the crust and devastating envi...
Impact of humanitarian mine clearances on tropical forest carbon storage
Large areas of tropical and sub-tropical forests are thought to be protected from human pressures owing to the presence of landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO).As countries fulf...
Dynamics of Flocking in Birds: The Role of Personality and Experience
Many birds travel in flocks comprising many individuals.During flights, decisions have to be made about who leads and follows, who is positioned where in the flock, and which indiv...
Atmospheric Chemistry of Multifunctional Compounds
The atmospheric photochemistry of hydrocarbons plays important roles in issues such as photochemical smog formation (with links to air quality and health) and to aerosol formation...
Inward solidification of planetary cores as a mechanism for dynamo generation
Although magnetic fields appear to have been generated in a diverse range of planetary bodies in the past, only three rocky bodies in our solar system (Earth, Mercury and Ganymede)...
Unveiling the lithospheric cradle of the Antarctic ice sheet and dynamic topography effects
This project aims to transform our current knowledge of the Antarctic continent, by producing novel combined potential field, seismological and petrological models of crustal and l...
How does female-specific selection affect male fertility?
Understanding how male and female fitness evolve requires an understanding of how they are linked. Males and females share most of their genome, so selection on one sex is likely t...
River Robots: Utilizing novel autonomous technologies, observations and models to investigate freshwater coastal dispersion
This project will develop and use novel autonomous measuring platforms and state-of-the-art hydrodynamic coastal models to investigate two questions: Q1) How far into the coastal o...
