TRAILBLAZER: Biodegradable Living Materials
There are numerous examples of biologically inspired robots that mimic features of animals and plants, and many can operate in natural environments. However, the overwhelming major...
Pasture to Plate (P2P): realising the enormous potential of UK grasslands
Our vision is to maximise the food potential of UK pasture by using targeted chemical processing and novel biotechnology to convert grass into nutritious edible fractions for healt...
Mapping and measuring glacier mass balance: developing a best practice approach for understanding glacier change
Background and Rationale Understanding the current and future "health" of glaciers and icecaps globally is an important scientific goal in our warming climate. Glaciers...
Redefining the metabolism of nitrogen cycling microbes using Dual Stable Isotope Probing
Nitrification is a key process in the global nitrogen cycle. Ammonia is produced through mineralisation of organic matter. Whilst mineralisation and nitrification are widely regard...
Ethnobotanical knowledge and sustainable food system development in Africa.
This project will examine how ethnobotanical knowledge of Neglected and underutilised crop species (NUCS) can enhance sustainable food system development in Africa. Ethnobotanical...
Importance and sustainability of endangered communities of bee pollinators in the machair, a changing coastal ecosystem
The machair is a unique environment localised in Western Scotland and North-west Ireland, characterised by low-level coastal grasslands usually fronted by a higher dune ridge. The...
Collaborative Research: ORCC: The Interplay of Plasticity and Evolution in Pierid Butterfly Responses to Recent Climate Change
