Altered states: Will forest-agriculture mosaic landscapes allow the long-term survival of a forest-specialist primate?
Managing wildlife in anthropogenically-modified landscapes is a persistent challenge for conservationists, even where direct human-wildlife conflict is not too pronounced. Human co...
Oxygen fugacity in a heterogeneous mantle: Earth's deep oxygen cycle
Is it a coincidence that Earth is the only planet on which both life and plate tectonics are known to exist? This is the fundamental question that motivates my future research visi...
Mantle Circulation Constrained (MC2): A multidisciplinary 4D Earth framework for understanding mantle upwellings
The theory of plate tectonics revolutionised the Earth sciences and had impacts across society, by providing a framework to understand the motion of Earth's surface. However,...
FAME: Future of Advanced Metrology for Environmental fluid dynamics
Natural flows shape our environment. Virtually every part of the planet can be put in the context, or at the interface, of transdisciplinary processes shaped by fluid dynamics, fro...
Greenhouse Gas Instrumentation System for Aquatic Ecosystems (GHG-Aqua)
Land-use and agriculture are responsible for around one quarter of all human greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. While some of the activities that contribute to these emissions, such a...
Facilitating the circular economy in India's food security: the social, economic and agronomic barriers and opportunities of wastewater

Macro-evolution in microorganisms: marine-terrestrial transitions as a case-study for adaptive radiations in bacteria
Understanding the ecological and evolutionary drivers of biodiversity is of central importance to biology. However, knowledge on the extent, tempo, mode, and drivers of bacterial d...
Air quality supersite triplets (UK-AQST)
Air pollution is the most significant environmental risk in the UK, leading to economic costs of £20b/y and significant health inequalities. Quantifying the changing caus...
Purchase of a tandem LA-LIBS femtosecond laser system for the UK
Earth and environmental scientists tackle diverse issues ranging from the formation of Earth to the fate of ecosystems being stressed by pollution. This requires us to measure the...
LASER-ENVI - A LASER spectrometer-based ENVIronmental Gas and Gas-Isotope Facility
Earth is a habitable planet because of the particular mixture and pressure of gases it contains in its atmosphere. These gases are involved in a range of processes across Earth...
First purpose-built UK tall tower for greenhouse gas research
With the ratification of the Paris Agreement, the world has committed to avoiding dangerous climate change, which will involve rapid reduction in emissions while developing carbon...
Augmenting Capabilities of the RRS Sir David Attenborough through an Unmanned Surface Vehicle
Over the past 25-years, satellite observations have unequivocally demonstrated an accelerating flow of land-based ice into the oceans, now a major contributor to global sea level r...
Transient magma permeability and gas flow: a combined experimental and theoretical model
Magma ascends in the Earth's crust due to buoyancy - a property mainly controlled by the presence of gas bubbles. In fact, without the presence of gas bubbles, magma would not...
Molecular Level Understanding of New Particle Formation in the Urban Atmosphere: Contribution of Local Pollutants
Airborne particles are made up of tiny specks of solid matter or liquid droplets floating in the air, too small to be seen individually by the naked eye. Gaining a good understandi...
Past methane from lakes in Alaska: integrating proxy records and models
Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap heat and cause global warming. Methane is key, as it is 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide in trapping he...
Ixchel: Building understanding of the physical, cultural and socio-economic drivers of risk for strengthening resilience in the Guatemalan cordillera
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...
Preparedness and planning for the mountain hazard and risk chain in Nepal
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...
Solving the Oligocene icehouse conundrum
Today there is a major ice sheet on Antarctica, but this was not always the case. The Antarctic ice sheet formed around 34 million years ago, ushering in the dawn of the "...
Improving Understanding and Diagnosis of Jet-Stream Turbulence
Turbulence is the leading cause of weather-related aircraft incidents and the underlying cause of many people's fear of air travel. One estimate of turbulence indicates over 6...
Can plant-fungal symbioses underpin plant diversity?
Our understanding of how species originate (speciation) has changed considerably since Darwin's seminal work. One aspect, however, that has been ignored is the role that micro...
