Voices of the future: Collaborating with children and young people to re-imagine treescapes
The future of treescapes belongs to children and young people. Yet there is a lack of interdisciplinary research that explores their engagement with treescapes over time. This proj...
The 3D anatomy of magma transport at fast-spreading ocean ridges
Plate tectonics is the most important discovery in Earth Science and is a unique characteristic of our planet. It involves formation of new tectonic plates by seafloor spreading an...
Carbon Emissions under Arctic Snow (CEAS)
Until recently, awareness of the importance of winter carbon dioxide emissions from arctic soils was highly limited, resulting from incorrect assumptions that emissions from frozen...
NI: NERC-MOST: Development of Multiple Collaborative Unmanned Marine Vehicles for Monitoring and Removing Marine Debris
The marine debris catastrophe is beginning to catch serious attention worldwide due to its severe impacts on environment and ecosystem. This project addresses the need for ocean mo...
Community assembly processes in miombo woodland
Tropical savanna woodlands are vast in global extent, providing vital habitat for large animals, stocking substantial carbon, and providing critical resources for local communities...
Wireline tap on the construction of the North Atlantic Deep water - IODP Exp. 395 "Reykjanes Mantle Convection and Climate"
Ocean circulation patterns especially within the deep ocean are a major player in global heat exchange and therefore force and stabilize climate patterns.In the North Atlantic, dee...
Biostratigraphy of planktonic foraminifera from the South Atlantic Transect (International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 390C)
Planktonic foraminifera are microscopic, single celled organisms which live in great abundance throughout the world oceans, being important part of the microplankton fauna. They ma...
Learning to adapt to an uncertain future: linking genes, trees, people and processes for more resilient treescapes (newLEAF)
This proposal addresses Theme 3: Resilience of UK Treescapes to global change.Treescapes - our woodlands, our forests, our urban trees - are critical to our environment, our health...
NI: NEW NORMAL - NEar surface Warming in the INdian Ocean and Rainfall Monsoon Anomaly Links
One of the biggest environmental challenges of our time is understanding and predicting the Earth's response to excess heating in the climate system due to anthropogenic warmi...
NI: Pyroclastic Density Current Partnership (PDCP): A global partnership to align numerical models and experimental techniques.
Ten percent of the world's population (i.e. 100s of millions) live within 100 km of an active volcano. Furthermore, this number is set to rise with the increasing global popul...
Weathering of carbonatite REE deposits (WREED): a critical stage in generation of critical metal resources.
The rare earth elements (REE) are classified as critical metals because they are essential for renewable energy technology such as wind turbines, and for the development of electri...
Exeter-NCAR collaborative Development (EXTEND)
Maintaining global mean temperatures within 1.5C or 2C of pre-industrial levels is a cornerstone of humanity's battle against climate change. Climate model simulations suggest...
Secrets to a Successful Hunt: Integrating Genomes, Chemistry and Behaviour in Neotropical Solitary Wasps
Aculeate wasps are understudied relative to their more popular cousins, bees and wasps, and yet are more biodiverse than bees and wasps combined. This is particularly so for the so...
Creative Adaptive Solutions for Treescapes of Rivers (CASTOR)
Critical interventions are required if the UK is to reach its afforestation target of 17% by 2050. The CASTOR project both elucidates and provides solutions for the challenges that...
TowaRds the future Projection and management of the Impact of Climate Change on Bolivian water Supply (TROPICCS)
In Bolivia, a large proportion of the water supply of the capital city, La Paz, is provided by meltwater from glaciers. During the year glaciers tend to melt when conditions are dr...
Submarine landslide tsunamis, mechanisms of granular flows at multiple scales; a new UK/China multidisciplinary research collaboration
Over the past 20-years tsunamis from submarine landslides, such as slumps and blocks, have become better understood from international collaborations between geologists and numeric...
Probing the cryptic nitrogen cycle
The element nitrogen (N) is key to life - building proteins and the very DNA that tells life what to do. Nitrogen exists largely as di-nitrogen gas (N2) in the atmosphere, with a f...
Global rise of symbiotic plankton - an international network to investigate a growing threat to marine fisheries
Life on Earth is heavily dependent on microscopic plankton that live in our oceans. These microscopic plankton can be divided between 3 types:(1) phytoplankton: microscopic &qu...
