Valuing the mental health and well-being benefits of nature engagement through measures of soundscape complexity
There is growing recognition of the value and benefits of spending time in nature for human health and well-being, with governments and organisations around the world now developin...
Valuing Marine Biodiversity for use in Decision Making
Vision: To determine novel and policy-relevant pluralistic values for marine biodiversity and apply these values to co-develop green investment options, leading to a transformative...
Global ocean sinking carbon flux and variability
The long-term storage of carbon in the deep ocean by sinking particles is a key piece of the global carbon cycle, playing a critical role in setting atmospheric CO2 levels, driving...
The abiotic and biotic factors determining microbial respiration, a key process in ocean carbon storage (MicroRESPIRE)
The balance between the production of organic carbon during phytoplankton photosynthesis and its consumption by bacterial, zooplankton and phytoplankton respiration determines how...
Constraining respiration rates of mesopelagic fishes
The oceans naturally remove huge amounts of carbon from the atmosphere, protecting us from some of the negative effects of human carbon emissions. However, our understanding of exa...
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...
Wave 2 support for SPF Clean Air Champions - "Addressing the Challenge of the Indoor/Outdoor Continuum"
Air pollution has long been known to damage health and the environment, with recent research adding considerably to the knowledge base on how this occurs and why. However, air poll...
Championing BioCarbon in the N Atlantic
Biological systems in the ocean play a key role in regulating the concentration of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere and hence in regulating our climate, with the North Atlantic Oce...
Sea Ice and Westerly winds during the Holocene in coastal Antarctica, to better constrain oceanic CO2 uptake
The Southern Ocean represents less than one-tenth of the area of the global ocean, yet it currently absorbs 43% of the total anthropogenic CO2 and 75% of the heat. Critically, the...
Modelling forest vulnerability to wildfire in British Columbia.
NERC : Catherine Mercer: NE/S007431/1The severity of future wildfires is expected to increase due to climate change, with societal and ecological consequences. My project aims to u...
Early-life impacts on animal "personalities" throughout development
Most animals show intra-individual consistency in behaviour ("personality"), the causes and consequences of early-life conditions on personality will be studied i...
Development of an ex vivo system to assess murine adipocyte differentiation
MRC : Tanyel Ashik : MR/N013700/1Under healthy conditions, our body's fat cells act as important reservoirs to store energy, and they can also release hormones that influence...
Timescales of South Atlantic ridge flank hydrothermal exchange; UK-IODP Moratorium Award for Thomas Belgrano - Shipboard Scientist, Expedition 393.
About two thirds of the Earth's surface is made up oceanic crust produced by tectonic plate spreading and magmatism along the global network of mid-ocean ridges. Chemical inte...
Machine learning for modelling and control of direct air capture systems
EPSRC : Stefan Radic Webster : EP/S022937/1The placement project will investigate the use of machine learning for modelling and control of an offshore wind powered direct air captu...
NSFGEO-NERC: Collaborative Research: How important are sea-level feedbacks in stabilizing marine-based ice streams?
The purpose of the proposed research is to investigate the importance of sea-level feedbacks (SLF) in stabilizing marine-based ice sheets during their retreat. The proposed investi...
Investigating Nickel-Catalysed C-P Cross-Coupling
EPSRC : Thomas Kieran Redpath : EP/W522260/1Catalysis is an essential way to speed up chemical reactions and to decrease the energy demands of those reactions (e.g. by decreasing r...
Investigating the dose-response of prenatal-THC exposure in adolescent mice
MRC : Jessica Myatt : MC_ST_BNDU_2019Across the world, rules regarding the legalisation of the recreational use of cannabis are changing. This is leading to a perception that canna...
Nanomaterial interactions with soil microbial communities and soil fauna
BBSRC : Jessica Chadwick : BB/T00746X/1Conventional agriculture needs large inputs of nutrients, through the addition of fertiliser, in order to produce the amount of food needed g...
Iodine sea-air emissions and atmospheric impacts in a changing world (I-SEA)
The chemistry of the troposphere (lowest ~12 km of the atmosphere) plays a critical role in climate change, air quality degradation and biogeochemical cycling. Our understanding of...
Remediation of copper concentrates
New biochemical and chemical methods will be designed and evaluated to maximise the remediation of copper concentrates without using organic solvents and to capture arsenic polluta...
