Trustworthy and Accountable Decision-Support Frameworks for Biodiversity - A Virtual Labs based Approach
The nature of science is changing, particularly in its relationship to decision-making and policy formulation. In essence, science is becoming more complex with questions becoming...
Agroforestry Futures
UK nature-based solutions, such as tree planting, must engage with the agricultural sector, given that agriculture uses more than 70 per cent of the land in the UK and is a major e...

DiversiTree: diversifying our woodlands to increase resilience
The UK government plans to increase woodland cover as part of its plans to store more carbon, to mitigate climate change. However, many of the UK's trees are threatened by cli...
PELAgIO: Physics-to-Ecosystem Level Assessment of Impacts of Offshore Windfarms
By 2050 it's estimated >400 GW of energy will be gathered by offshore wind across the whole North Sea. For scale, Hinkley Point C nuclear reactor is projected to produc...
Ecosystem Change, Offshore Wind, Net Gain and Seabirds (ECOWINGS)
The UK government currently faces an acute risk to energy security from de-carbonisation associated with the global climate emergency, recent energy price rises and the threat of h...
Ecological implications of accelerated seabed mobility around windfarms (EcoWind-ACCELERATE)
THE PROBLEM: Offshore windfarms will be developed at an accelerated schedule under fast-track plans to switch away from fossil fuels. With ever larger offshore windfarms, and the c...
PELAgIO: Physics-to-Ecosystem Level Assessment of Impacts of Offshore Windfarms
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....
Volcano-sedimentary evolution of the Walvis Ridge (IODP Expedition 391)
IODP Expedition 391 along the Walvis Ridge (WR) will provide a unique opportunity to reconstruct the geological evolution of several submarine volcanic edifices considered to have...
UK-IODP Moratorium Award for Rosalind Coggon - Co-chief scientist IODP Exp 390/393
Ocean chemistry reflects the shifting balance between fundamental processes such as mountain building, erosion and weathering, climate change, and biological evolution that have in...
NERC-FAPESP: Unravelling the evolutionary processes shaping greenbeard recognition systems and the control of cooperative behaviour
Organisms often make self sacrifices that benefit members of their group. These may be complex behaviours, such as watching for predators while others forage, or relatively simple...
Wood fuel transitions and their impact on tropical ecosystems
What effect will changing demand for wood fuels have on the ecology of tropical forests and savannas?
Knowledge Exchange Fellowship: Forecast-based Action for Conservation (ForCon)
Wildlife is threatened by climate change. One way in which climate change affects wildlife is by increasing the frequency of extreme weather events including drought, heat waves an...
Predicting the fate and migration of CO2 in CCS reservoir overburden
You will develop a numerical model for simulating subsurface gas flow and transport.You will then use this model to better understand the fate of sequestered CO2 that has migrated...
Forests for climate mitigation - how does tree-derived nitrogen influence soil greenhouse gas production? Case award
How does the capture and transport of nitrogen by forest trees influence the key microbial processes driving greenhouse gas emissions from soils?Answering this question will help u...
Photocatalytic Water Purification for Drinking Water and Environmental Remediation
We will develop and apply solar photocatalysis for water treatment where standard methods are inappropriate or impossible to apply. The context includes drinking water in low-incom...
The Effects Of Parasites On Food Web Structure And Dynamics: New Ways To Improve Accuracy And Ecological Realism
The proposed project fits strongly within the 'Biodiversity and ecosystem function' and 'Challenged ecosystems' themes.Food webs are fundamental to our understa...
Secondary Organic Aerosol Prediction in Realistic Atmospheres (SOAPRA)
Aerosol particles are key drivers of reduced air quality and provide significant offsetting of warming by greenhouse gases. The organic fraction is frequently observed to dominate...
Rhenium isotopes to track carbon dioxide emissions by oxidative weathering
Carbon dioxide (CO2) plays a central role in controlling Earth's climate as a greenhouse gas. Atmospheric CO2 concentrations can be changed by Earth's carbon cycle, which...
UPSURGE: Helping storm surge barriers prepare for climate change
Over the last 30-years more than 20 large surge barriers, and many other smaller ones, have been built at a cost of billions of pounds, to provide flood protection to people, prope...
