Active fault slip-rates and earthquake recurrence controlled by stress transfer and viscous flow
Seismic hazard assessment and understanding of continental deformation are hindered by unexplained slip-rate fluctuations on faults, associated with (a) temporal clusters of damagi...
400 Million Years of Sugar Transport in Plants: unearthing the evolutionary origin of the phloem in the Rhynie chert
Working at the interface between the Life and Earth Sciences you will investigate major unanswered questions about one of the most important but least well understood plant tissues...
A radical re-imagining of our cities for people and the environment: modelling the health, nutritional and environmental potential from cutting 90% of
This PhD will model the environmental and health impacts of massively reduced car ownership in Edinburgh, & map findings with decision-makers to facilitate policy change
Improving seawater chemistry reconstructions using the biogenic silica archive
One of the primary goals of Exp. 395 is to examine the connection between changes in oceanic circulation in the North Atlantic and changes in bathymetry due to magmatic pulsing. Us...
Mesoscale Convective Systems: PRobabilistic forecasting and upscale IMpacts in the grey zonE (MCS:PRIME)
A Mesoscale Convective System (MCS) is an organisation of many convective thunderstorms, each a few km in scale, into a coherent entity on scales of hundreds of km. We use the term...
BAS AI Lab
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research.This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because i...
Climate change impacts on global wildfire ignitions by lightning and the safe management of landscape fuels
2020 will be remembered not only for Covid-19, but also for its devastating wildfires. The year began with the Australian bushfires, which caused 34 deaths and over US$70 billion o...
KE Fellowship: Delivering Multifunctional Natural Capital Approaches for Future Coasts
The U.K. has long stretches of sedimentary shorelines and large estuaries that are characterised by extensive salt marshes and mudflats. These environments provide important functi...
Accelerating Nutrient Cycles at the Riparian Land : Water Interface
Riparian zones are the dynamic interfaces between terrestrial and aquatic systems, ultimately governing transfers of the macronutrients carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)...
Immediate jokulhlaup (glacier outburst flood) impacts in a recently decoupled proglacial meltwater system, Skeidararjokull, SE Iceland.
In response to climate change many temperate glaciers worldwide, including Skeidararjokull in SE Iceland, are retreating. Associated with this retreat is the appearance and expansi...
The impact of the physical environment on the foraging energetics of shearwaters and the consequences for breeding success
The distribution and availability of food in the marine environment is highly variable over space and time. This creates significant challenges for marine top predators, including...
NSFGEO-NERC: Collaborative Research: ICECAPS-MELT
Overview: A three-year extension is proposed to the Integrated Characterization of Energy, Clouds, Atmospheric state, and Precipitation at Summit (ICECAPS) project. This project is...
INSITE Synthesis Project
The INSITE Synthesis Project aims to, using standard stakeholder engagement practice, develop a scientific consensus and 'community' position on what they consider to be...
Geochemical Analysis and Integrated Modelling of Basalt Samples from V-Shaped Ridges of North Atlantic Ocean
Deep within the Earth's interior underneath Iceland there sits a gigantic hot upwelling or plume. This plume is the biggest on Earth and has been in existence for about sixty...
NSFGEO-NERC:BLEACH
The abundance of reactive halogens in the troposphere may have a profound influence on the oxidation capacity of the atmosphere both directly as oxidants of hydrocarbons and other...
Investigating the distribution and exchange of agroecological products in south India
This project will investigate how agroecological actors envision and implement the integration of agroecological farmers into agricultural markets through a case study of the Zero...
NSFGEO-NERC: Understanding the Drivers of Inert Gas Saturation to Better Constrain Ice Core-Derived Records of Past Mean Ocean Temperature
The integrated heat content of the global ocean (OHC) is a fundamental climate variable for understanding Earth's energy balance. The OHC is intimately tied to high-latitude p...
Spatio-temporal volcanic evolution and CO2 storage potential of the mid-Norwegian volcanic rifted margin
This research proposal links to the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 396 which will drill several scientific research boreholes along the offshore Norwegian...
Exploring variation in hydrothermal alteration of the oceanic crust
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is the line of undersea mountains that represent where two pieces of the Earth's outer layer of rock are pulling away from each other due to heat circul...
Chinese Ministry of Ecology and the Environment donates 5,000 household solar systems to Pakistan
On September 6, 2023, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People’s Republic of China signed an MoU with Pakistan entitled "‘Provision of Goods Under South-South Coo...
