Cenozoic planktonic foraminifera biostratigraphy from the South Atlantic Transect (International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 390/393)
Planktonic foraminifera are microscopic, single celled organisms which live in great abundance throughout the world oceans, being important part of the microplankton fauna. They ma...
Hypogene karst: genesis and implications to optimisation of low enthalpy energy resources
Karst is the term used to describe a suite of features formed by dissolution of limestone. It includes surface features such as limestone pavements, dolines (sink holes) and tower...
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...
CLIMATE RESILIENCE OF RESTORED FOREST LANDSCAPES
2021-30 will be the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration. This Seedcorn project will establish collaboration between researchers from Uganda and the UK with expertise in climate, for...
Operationalising Evidence-Based Management of Marine Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction in a Changing Ocean
An interdisciplinary investigation of the science-policy interface of marine biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction to operationalise evidence-based management in a changing oce...
Evolutionary impacts of genomic rearrangements
This project will use genomic analyses in butterflies to investigate the evolution of chromosomal rearrangements and the genes they affect, both within and between species.
Use of variable spectral resolution remote sensing systems to improve early onset disease detection in commercial forestry in the UK.
This project will combine field data with remotely sensed data to investigate the spectral signatures associated with early onset pathogen outbreaks on commercial tree species in t...
Optimising the Design of Ensembles to Support Science and Society (ODESSS)
This project will build the foundational techniques needed to understand what is necessary from an ensemble of computer model simulations to provide robust reliable knowledge. Such...
Unexplored transitions between savanna and forest in Africa
The student will combine inventory data from forests and savannas in Africa, while filling crucial sampling gaps with field work, to identify the conditions underwhich forest trans...
Feedbacks between mineral reactions and mantle convection
The evolution of the solid Earth and many surface features are controlled by movements deep within. We aim to transform our understanding of those movements through a new understan...
How natural selection shapes genetic variation
This PhD project aims to understand the role that natural selection plays in determining how heritable traits are by combing experiments and data collected on E. coli with data fro...
A next-generation approach for quantifying tropical plant diversity across scales
Tropical forests hold much of Earths plant species. We know that this diversity of life is important, both in its own right as one of the great natural wonders, but also for underp...

The evolution of the solid Earth and many surface features are controlled by movements deep within. We aim to transform our understanding of those movements through a new understan...
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 "...
Expedition 395C: Reykjanes Ridge planktonic foraminifer biostratigraphy and assemblages
Expedition 395C will recover a series of drill cores from the sea bed on a feature known as the Reykjanes Ridge south of Iceland. The cores will consist of volcanic rocks (the so-c...
NSFGEO-NERC: VERTEBRATE FUNCTIONAL TRAITS AS INDICATORS OF ECOSYSTEM FUNCTION THROUGH DEEP AND SHALLOW TIME-Jason Head -NSF-NERC (NSF is the lead)
Animals interact with their environments via specific sets of traits. The structure of their teeth allows animals to process food efficiently. The orientation of their feet allows...
Diagenetic dynamics and signals within Earthquake-mobilised sediments (Japan Trench, IODP Expedition 386)
Seafloor deposits on the slope offshore Japan can become remobilised by large Earthquakes, and can then end up in the deep trench that is the ultimate site of deposition.Therefore,...
Sixty million years of seafloor alteration: spatial-temporal controls on volatile incorporation along a 1000 km transect of oceanic crust
Roughly 60% of the Earth's surface is covered by oceanic crust and submerged beneath the oceans. Oceanic crust is formed from magma at mid-ocean ridges as a result of plate te...
VIRGIL: The VIRtual paleomaGnetIc Laboratory
Earth's magnetic field has been part of our planet from early on its formation, but the processes by which it occurs are still not well understood. The first theory of magneti...
Can megafauna shift the carbon and surface radiation budgets of the Arctic?
One of the key challenges and concerns when considering 21st century climate change is the identification and avoidance of positive feedbacks (which may lead to "tipping p...
