Connected treescapes: a portfolio approach for delivering multiple public benefits from UK treescapes
Our project will address the role of landscape-level partnerships in delivering public benefits from UK treescapes. It will show how decision-makers and those responsible for trees...
Rapid deployment of a seismo-acoustic experiment at Mt. Etna, Italy, following a marked increase in eruptive activity
The physics that define the relationships between the characteristics of seismic and acoustic signals recorded during eruptions and the rate at which gas and pyroclasts are ejected...
Soil carbon and climate warming in tropical forests: using experimentation and elevation to reveal responses across space and time
Climate change is predicted to release carbon stored in terrestrial ecosystems, causing a major acceleration of future climate change.This carbon release is predicted to occur thro...
Diurnal Variation in Soil Nitrous oxide Emissions (DIVINE): drivers and mechanisms
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) with a global warming potential 298 times that of carbon dioxide. Agriculture contributes approximately two thirds of anthropog...
The impact of social relationships on crop-raiding in male African savannah elephants
In contrast to the well-studied social relations in matriarchal groups, the social relations governing bull behaviour is poorly understood inelephants..There is growing evidence th...
Ecological drivers of the evolution of symbiosis
Beneficial symbioses are widespread in nature and underpin the function of both natural and manmade ecosystems. Moreover, by providing the interacting species with new ecological f...
Rapid adjustments to catchment sediment yield following a catastrophic rock-ice avalanche and debris flow, Uttarakhand, India
On 7th February 2021 a massive rock-ice avalanche originating from a mountain ridge in Chamoli District, Uttarakhand, Indian Himalaya, transformed into a fast-moving and catastroph...
Autonomous Techniques for anthropogenic Structure Ecological Assessment (AT-SEA)
Thousands of Oil & Gas industry structures in the sea are approaching the end of their lives. At this time, they typically need to be removed and the environment returned t...

Seabed Mining And Resilience To EXperimental impact
Over a 6 million square km region of the central Pacific ocean, at abyssal depths of almost five thousand metres, lies a vast mineral resource in the form of small potato-sized dep...
Genetic kin recognition and Crozier's Paradox
Genetic kin discrimination is when animals use genetic cues to determine who their close relatives are. Genetic kin discrimination would allow individuals to be nepotistic, prefere...
Revisiting the role of ocean ventilation in glacial CO2 sequestration using radiocarbon (ROGUE14)
Over the last ~1 million years, atmospheric CO2 has oscillated repeatedly between 'ice age' minima and 'interglacial' maxima, in broad synchrony with global tem...

Ultrasonic Measurement Of The Transition Zone's Seismic Velocities
The Earth's mantle transition zone extends from approximately 410 to 660 km depth, is a vast and inaccessible layer of the Earth. There are no direct samples from the transiti...
A step change in compelling evidence on water quality impacts of agricultural practice
Runoff from agricultural land carries pollution which continues to cause problems for water quality nationally. Recent assessments suggest that the proportion of rivers in England...
Applied-RadioIsotope & Environmental Laboratory (ARIEL)
The primary objective of the project is to provide the United Kingdom with a unique, world-class research & training radioisotope infrastructure for environmental science....
Synergistic fire and floodplain solutions
Wildfires, already a major concern in all continents, are forecast to increase in frequency and intensity, impacting parts of the world not previously affected (including the UK un...
Building the UK BioGeoChemical Argo array: the UK contribution to a global integrated biogeochemical autonomous ocean sensing network
The ocean plays a vital role in sustaining life on planet Earth, providing us with living resources and regulating climate. Ocean observations are required to understand how the oc...
