Options for Net Zero Plus and Climate Change Adaptation
The land can contribute to climate mitigation through absorbing more carbon dioxide and reducing other greenhouse gas emissions by growing more trees and re-wetting the peatlands.B...
SURface FluxEs In AnTarctica (SURFEIT)
Antarctica is changing. In February 2022, sea ice around Antarctica reached the lowest area that has been observed since satellite records began in 1979. This marks the first time...
Building benchmark Pliocene-Pleistocene palaeomagnetic records using sediments cored during IODP Expedition 397 (Iberian Margin Palaeoclimate)
Marine sediments from the Iberian Margin have proven to be remarkable archives for the study of long (hundreds of thousand years) and short (hundreds to thousands of years) timesca...
What controls the flow resistance of rough-bed rivers? Major new advances from high-resolution topography
Being able to predict the depth and speed of water in a river channel is important for managing in-channel engineering, predicting sediment transport and flood risk, planning river...
NCAS International Collaboration in Hazardous Weather and Global Chemical Change
NC-International forms part of NERC commissioning of research and innovation within its own research centres. This proposal is in response to a set of requirements and budget suppl...
Long-term measurements of OH reactivity
Poor air quality has been cited by DEFRA as the greatest environmental risk to public health in the UK, and exposure to air pollution has recently been listed for the first time as...
BRICS: Biology's Role In ocean Carbon Storage - a gap analysis
The ocean is a large carbon reservoir which contains fifty times the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Biological processes contribute to carbon storage in the ocean on climate-r...
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 "...
NSFDEB-NERC: Understanding drought and post-drought legacy effects in tropical forest
This project addresses a key gap in understanding how tropical forests respond to drought across scales, from organ to tree and forest ecosystem. It will drive extended impact in n...
BGS Geoscience to tackle global environmental challenges
Global environmental challenges will be the focus of BGS' research, specifically: strengthening adaptation and resilience to geological hazards and climate change; security an...
NSFGEO-NERC: Collaborative Research - P2P: Predators to Plankton - Biophysical Controls in Antarctic Polynyas
The Ross Sea, a globally important ecological hotspot, hosts 25-45% of the world populations of Adélie and emperor penguins, South Polar skuas, Antarctic petrels, and We...
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 "...
FAPESP - Amazon PyroCarbon: Quantifying soil carbon responses to fire and climate change
Wildfires are becoming the new normal across Amazonia. Deforestation is transforming the region at a rate of around 10,000 square km/year (half the area of Wales), and now the area...
The crystallisation sequence of Earth's core
Earth's core plays a key role in making the planet active, such as supplying heat to the mantle to partially drive tectonic processes and generating magnetic fields by powerin...
Revealing the hidden effects of anthropogenic disturbance on the spatiotemporal dynamics of animal populations
Globally, natural ecosystems are under threat due to the ever increasing pressures imposed by human activities. Many ecosystems are becoming fragmented or are being eroded at the e...
NCEO NC International: Constraining Coupled Carbon & Water Cycle Processes with Earth Observation [CPEO]
The carbon and water cycles are intrinsically linked, and yet there remain large discrepancies in climate models around this coupling. Differences in the approach to modelling the...
Monitoring Underground Disturbances (MUD): Creating a Microbial BioBank for Long-Term Monitoring of Extreme Weather Impacts on Forests
In February 2022, the UK experienced back-to-back windstorms Eunice and Franklin, which killed and uprooted trees in forests across the UK.Although these aboveground impacts of ext...
FOCUS: Future states Of the global Coastal ocean: Understanding for Solutions
2021-2030 is the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development aiming at "The science we need for the ocean we want" through "Transformative oce...
Future global ocean Carbon storage: Quantifying warming impacts on zooplankton (C-QWIZ)
Microscopic organisms in the ocean called phytoplankton use the sun's energy to convert carbon dioxide (CO2), nutrients and water into organic matter, just as plants do on lan...
Trustworthy and Accountable Decision-Support Frameworks for Biodiversity - A Virtual Labs based Approach
The nature of science is changing, particularly in its relationship to decision-making and policy formulation. In essence, science is becoming more complex with questions becoming...
