The drivers and consequences of community phenological cohesion
investigating the factors driving phenological cohesion within communities in response to climate change, and explore effects of phenologically-induced competitive shifts on commun...
Delivering a Climate Resilient City through City-University Partnership: Glasgow as a Living Lab Accelerating Novel Transformation (GALLANT)
GALLANT's vision is to develop whole-systems solutions for a just and sustainable transition delivered at the city scale.Corporate and political leaders are committing to carb...
Towards reliable assessment of pyroclastic density current hazards
In a world where the human population keeps growing and is pushed to living in hazardous volcanic areas, volcanoes are increasingly becoming a larger threat to life.Volcanoes that...
MesoS2D: Mesospheric sub-seasonal to decadal predictability
In order to accurately predict impacts of space weather and climate variability on the whole atmosphere we need an accurate representation of the whole atmosphere. The mesosphere (...
Extreme Events in Lake Ecosystems
Freshwater is one of our most valuable resources, providing water for drinking, agriculture, and inland fisheries, as well as supporting important biodiversity. Lakes contain appro...
Rift Propagation for Ice Sheet Models
Modelled projections of the contribution of the Antarctic ice sheets to sea level rise over this century vary from a few centimetres to more than one metre - a huge uncertainty whi...
An evo-devo approach to invasive biology and adaption to climate change
The Evo-Devo ApproachPredicting how species will fare with climate change and understanding invasive biology to aid remediation and are themes intrinsically coupled to evolutionary...
Predicting the ecological impacts of invasive alien insects at multiple levels: from genes to communities
Biological invasions are global phenomena that impact ecosystems, the economy and human, animal and plant health. The rate at which biological invasions occur has grown exponential...
Pacific Rainfall over Millennial Scales (PROMS)
The Tropical South Pacific (TSP) is a vast area of ocean containing over 5000 small islands supporting a vulnerable human population of c.10 million of which 57% live within 1 km o...
Unlocking wetland ecologies and agriculture in prehistory through sulphur isotopes.
Since the advent of farming, water has been central to agricultural productivity. However, the way in which people made use of natural water resources in the past, or manipulated t...
High-resolution genomics to reveal changes in microbial biodiversity across space and time in the warming Arctic Ocean
The Arctic is the most impacted ecosystem on Earth by global warming. Thus, it serves as a bellwether for the consequences of global change and therefore the persistence of biodive...
FARM TREE: Balancing farm and landscape-scale demands for integrating trees on agricultural land
Although agroforestry (integrating trees or shrubs on pasture or crop farmland) has great potential to provide ecosystem services and address multiple climate change challenges, it...
Physics-to-Ecosystem Level Assessment of Impacts of Offshore Wind Farms (PELAgIO)
By 2050 it's estimated >400 GW of energy will be gathered by offshore wind in the North Sea alone. For scale, Hinkley Point C nuclear reactor is projected to produce 3....

Developing a robust approach to the monitoring and analysis of insect populations: trends in fly numbers in Québec and implications for insectivores
NERC: Kathryn Powell: NE/S007261/1Insects underpin almost all ecosystems on the planet. They provide innumerable services to humans and other species through regulating the environ...
NSFDEB-NERC The blueprint for marine biomineralization in a changing climate
Understanding and quantifying the global carbon cycle (interchange of carbon between atmosphere, ocean, and land) is essential for predicting future concentrations of atmospheric c...

TreE_PlaNat: Stakeholder perceptions and socio-ecological consequences of Treescape Expansion through Planting and Natural colonisation
Tree planting has been the most common woodland expansion strategy in the UK for many decades. Despite its many benefits, this approach is increasingly being questioned following o...
Digging into the "Gadgil effect": how the competitive balance between fungal guilds affects carbon and nitrogen cycling
Forest soils are part of the solutions to global climate change by sequestering carbon (C) to compensate for anthropogenic CO2 emissions, which are the major cause of rising global...
The Economics of Biodiversity Additionality (BIOADD)
The Dasgupta Review on the economics of biodiversity illustrated the complex and embedded ecology-economy relationships and thereby the fundamental economic and societal value of b...
