Nitrogen cycling in the changing Arctic Ocean
This PhD project will use N stable isotope measurements of dissolved nitrate and organic nitrogen in water samples collected from the Arctic Research cruises to understand nitrogen...
Sustainable Minerals Knowledge Exchange Fellowship (Philippines)
Novel and innovative tools and techniques are required to ensure that whilst mining is carried out in order to achieve some of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, it...

Extreme star formation in the ultraviolet: The CASTOR revolution
STFC: Maria Macarena Garcia del Valle Espinosa: ST/V507209/1Ultraviolet light contains a high density of astrophysical information and is critically important for understanding ene...
The chemical behaviour of sulphur in magmas at high temperature and pressure
The aim of this project is to develop a clear understanding of the behaviour of the element sulphur in volcanoes and in the gases which are expelled from volcanoes during and prior...
Refining Estimates of Tropical Forest Greenhouse Gas Exchange using Plant Traits
Tropical forests play a crucial role in regulating global concentrations of greenhouse gases, exchanging vast amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O)...
Hydrothermal alteration during the aging of the ocean crust: IODP Expedition 393 South Atlantic Transect
Interactions between the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and the solid geosphere are fundamental to how our Earth system operates. These interactions drive exchanges in heat, m...
Constraining marine boundary layer cloud properties in climate models: (CLOSURE)
Concentrations of both greenhouse gases (GHG) and aerosols (tiny particles suspended in the atmosphere) have increased considerably since pre-industrial time. Whilst anthropogenic...

Testing classical and emerging evolutionary theories of ageing in ecologically relevant environments
Ageing, a physiological deterioration of an organism with advancing age, results in reduced reproductive performance and/or increased likelihood of death. Ageing reduces fitness an...
Untangling the phylogenetic and spatial components of trait variation in ecological assemblages
Traits are the set of evolved characteristics that permit a species to exploit its niche and live in a given environment. Explaining how and why traits vary among species is a basi...
Machine learning approaches to constrain and understand the role of clouds in climate change (ML4CLOUDS)
As a defining challenge of our time, climate change has led to the 2015 Paris Agreement whose central policy goal is to keep global warming well below 2 degrees Celsius. The substa...
NSFGEO-NERC Collaborative Research: Effects of a changing climate on the habitat utilization, foraging ecology and distribution of crabeater seals
We propose to investigate the differences in the trophic ecology, distribution and foraging success of crabeater seals across a latitudinal gradient along the western Antarctica Pe...
Land Impacts on Mesoscale Convective Systems
Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCSs) are among the most powerful storms in the world, and in many places are the dominant cause of hazards such as high winds, lightning, flash flood...
Reconstructing South Atlantic Ocean Circulation changes across the Eocene-Palaeocene
The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is a system of surface and deep ocean currents, which constitutes a major component of modern global ocean circulation. The A...
TundraTime: Plant phenology change as a driver of Arctic greening trends
The TundraTime project will address climate change impacts in tundra ecosystems including how warming is shifting tundra plant phenology - the timing of life events such as bud bur...
GLObal Suspended Sediment (GLOSS): Drivers, trends and future trajectories
This project addresses how environmental change affects the movement of sediment through rivers and into our oceans. Understanding the movement of suspended sediment is important b...
C-FORCE: Carbon-Cycle Feedbacks from Response to Carbon Emissions
The dominant driver of anthropogenic global warming is the increasing amount of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is increasing because it is being emitted...
Genomics of Host-Parasite Coevolution: A Test of Arms Race and Red Queen Dynamics in a Wild Insect System
Parasites and their hosts evolve together. Our research will test hypotheses about the genomic basis of this mutually-dependent coevolution using a high-profile, wild insect system...
AerosoL heterogeneous Processing as a source of oxidants in Cold winter Atmospheres: application to Alaska and UK (ALPACA-UK)
Air pollution is the leading environmental risk to human health. Wintertime pollution events lead to violations of air quality (AQ) standards for particulate pollution in many regi...
