ASSURE: Across-Scale processeS in URban Environments
Local and global consequences of climate change (enhanced urban heat islands, worsening environmental conditions) affect most of the world's urban population, but only recentl...
Maximising ecosystem services in urban environments (MEaSURE)
Urban environments are home to the majority of people on the planet and so ensuring these systems provide healthy, productive and resilient environments is critical. Green infrastr...
Soil survival and re-emergence: the continued threat of plague
Yersinia pestis (Y. pestis) the bacterium responsible for plague, is probably the most devastating infectious diseases known to humanity and may be responsible for more human death...
DEFIANT: Drivers and Effects of Fluctuations in sea Ice in the ANTarctic
Since the start of the industrial revolution the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has steadily risen. Scientists have confirmed that the recent loss of Arctic sea ice in summer...
TickSolve: Environmental Solutions to reduce the risk of current and future tick borne zoonotic pathogens in the UK
The threat posed by tick-borne diseases (TBD) in temperate regions such as the UK is growing rapidly. Human exposure is often linked to woodlands that support high densities of tic...

What is the major control on barium isotopes within the sediment and pore-water fraction in surface sediments?
Barium (Ba) isotopes are a novel tracer with the potential to provide information on past marine biological productivity (Bridgestock et al., 2018; Bridgestock et al., 2019).A majo...
DERIvATE: Deployable ElectRochemIcally Assisted Tritium dEtection
Tritium is a radioactive hydrogen isotope made in nuclear reactors, often present as tritiated water (HTO) in spent fuel cooling ponds, reprocessing effluents and waste treatment f...
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...
Coupling coincident satellite observations and machine learning to improve ice-sheet models and sea-level projections
Approximately 3% of the global population (230 M) live within 1 m of current sea level (Kulp & Strauss 2019). These low-lying coastal areas are also home to many forms of v...
'FindAScienceBerth': connecting underrepresented groups in marine science with available berths on scientific research vessels
The Challenger Society for Marine Science (the UK's main professional society for marine science) recently conducted a survey of its members, revealing that of those surveyed...
Understanding the evolution of nutritional adaptation
The world is changing in complex ways. This change forces organisms to cope with shifts in their environmental conditions, the footprint of which can be seen across multiple scales...

PROMT: Philippines Remediation of Mine Tailings
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...
PAMANA: Philippine Mining at the National to Catchment Scale - from Legacy Impacts to Sustainable Futures
As the world moves towards low carbon emissions, the need for mining is as great as it has ever been. The contemporary paradigm is 'sustainable mining' that is profitable...

A direct test of the impact of infection on animal migration: consequences for parasite and host populations
Wildlife populations experience a wide range of infections that can both impact on their own health and cross species boundaries to pose environmental risks to farm animal and huma...
NSFGEO-NERC: Data Mining the Deep: Combining Geochemistry and Imaging Spectroscopy to Quantify Deep Hydrothermal Circulation at Mid-Ocean Ridges
Ocean crust is formed at mid-ocean ridge spreading ridges and covers more than 60% of the surface of Earth. Because of the plate tectonic cycle and subduction, the ocean crust is g...
Mapping the functional gene-scape of the oceans under conditions of global change
Context: This proposal builds on our work which identified differences in function between polar and non-polar microbes at the genomic level, through constructing metagenome assemb...
