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...
Renewing biodiversity through a people-in-nature approach (RENEW)
We are in a biodiversity crisis. A million species of plants and animals are threatened with global extinction, and wildlife populations across much of the planet have been dramati...
AGILE: Providing rapid evidence-based solutions to the needs of environmental policy-makers.
The Stern and Dasgupta reviews on the economics of climate change and biodiversity respectively make clear, wealth creation, ecosystem health, and quality of life are inextricably...
Landscape Regeneration Solutions to the Interlinked Extinction and Climate Crises that support Sustainable Development
Nature-based solutions (NbS*) are responses to societal challenges that involve working with nature to deliver benefits for both people and biodiversity. They include protecting ex...

Carbon-climate perturbations in the Cretaceous-Paleogene Southern Ocean: Clues from IODP 392 Agulhas Plateau
IODP Expedition 392 sets out to Aguhlas Plateau off South Africa to recover new scientific cores from the Cretaceous-Paleogene greenhouse and its transition to the more recent cold...
PHYCASO - Phytoplankton evolution and carbonate dynamics during past regimes in the Southern Ocean (IODP Expedition 392)
Given the threat of a sixth mass extinction event as a result of human-based climate breakdown and habitat disruption, implications about the long-term outlook of marine species an...
Beyond the Nadir: Early Cretaceous-Cenozoic archives of the northern Equatorial Atlantic Gateway
This proposal seeks to build a stratigraphic framework from seismic reflection data to prepare for a future ocean drilling proposal in West Africa. This drilling proposal will aim...
NSFGEO-NERC Collaborative Research: Environmental change and impacts on prehistoric human colonization of Peary Land, northernmost Greenland
The goal of this project is to understand changes and interactions among arctic system components (climate, people, terrestrial and marine ecosystems, sea-ice and glacier extent) i...
La Palma 2021: Petrological insights into magmatic evolution in an ongoing volcanic crisis
Volcanic eruptions are an ever-present threat to society with typically between five and forty volcanoes in active eruption around the world on any given day (Smithsonian Instituti...
NSFGEO-NERC Scattering of ocean surface gravity waves by submesoscale turbulence
Random scattering, refraction and focussing of ocean surface gravity waves (SGWs) by submesoscale currents result in spatial modulation - "patches'' - in the wav...
Why is Lower Stratospheric Ozone Not Recovering?
Depletion of stratospheric ozone allows larger doses of harmful solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation to reach the surface leading to increases in skin cancer and cataracts in humans an...
Understanding Interdecadal Changes in the Ocean Carbon Sink (UNICORNS)
The oceans have absorbed more than a quarter of the carbon dioxide (CO2) that humans release to the atmosphere, a process that substantially slows the pace of climate change. Howev...
CENOSTORE
The intensification of the global glacial-interglacial cycle at the onset of the Quaternary (~2.6 Ma) was a critical tipping-point in Earth's recent climate history.The increa...
To plant or not to plant? Efficacy and impacts of woodland expansion in upland soils
In the face of the climate emergency, woodland expansion, and the role of trees in the global carbon cycle is a hot topic.How to manage woodland expansion, and the impacts on uplan...
NSFDEB:NERC Interspecific Interference, Character Displacement And Range Expansion
Why are some species so widespread while others are restricted to small geographic areas? Negative interactions between closely species, such as aggression and reproductive interfe...
Proglacial lakes and their impact on Himalayan glacier evolution
The vast majority of mountain glaciers have been losing mass since at least the early part of the 20th Century, and have been in a particularly marked period of recession in recent...
Marine Ecosystems and the Biological Carbon Pump
The ocean plays a major role in mitigating the impact of climate change, sequestering 20-30% of atmospheric anthropogenic carbon dioxide each year.The Biological Carbon Pump refers...
NSFGEO-NERC: Investigating pre-, co-, and post-eruption processes at Sierra Negra volcano, Galapagos using geodetic and seismic data
Sierra Negra volcano, in the Galápagos Islands of Ecuador, is one of the largest basaltic calderas on Earth, measuring 9 km by 7 km.Through investments from the NSF RAPI...
Shrinking sea ice - reconstructions from ice cores
Sea ice plays a vital role in modulating climate. Satellite observations reveal that Antarctic sea ice is at its lowest in 40-years. In the Bellingshausen Sea, adjacent to the Anta...
