Compostable and oxo-degradable plastics - saviour of the natural environment? An investigation of their long-term fate and ecotoxicity, from land to the deep sea.
Plastic waste is transported by wind, water and ice, in terrestrial and marine environments. Certain environments may act as longer term ‘sinks’ for plastics, e.g., the deep seafloor (kms deep), whilst others may only be temporary, e.g. Read more
Microbial and biogeochemical processes through the ocean-sediment continuum
Research Group:
Earth Surface Science
The interface between the ocean and subseafloor sediments is a critical boundary that influences life in the deep biosphere, the transport and transformation of organic carbon and nutrients, and the global carbon cycle. Read more
Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy
Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a widely used technique to obtain the elemental constituents of a sample. The process uses a short pulse of focused laser light to evaporate a minute volume of a target substance by highly localized heating to temperatures greater than 5000 K. The plasma which is formed in the process emits spectra of light as it cools. Read more
Discovery of novel pharmaceuticals from marine and desert microorganisms
Microorganisms from extreme environments such as the deep seas, cold seas and hyper arid deserts have been shown to produce a range of complex natural products with high biological activity. Read more
Motion Planning in Autonomous Robots
The project will focus primarily on Autonomous Robots. The general research theme involves theoretical and experimental study of Autonomous Vehicles with emphasis on advanced motion control for unmanned vehicles. Read more
The Macroecology of Changing Marine Ecosystems
The marine environment covers most of our planet, and is vital for food provision, climate regulation, and biodiversity. Read more

Past, present and future benefits from marine biogenic shellfish reef habitats.
Project background. Biogenic shellfish reefs are complex seafloor habitats created by the presence of species such as oysters and mussels. Read more
What does the future hold for European shelf seas ecosystems?
Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) content has been increasing from the industrial revolution onwards, predominantly due to the combustion of fossil fuel that had trapped the carbon deep underground and away from the atmosphere. Read more
Artificial Intelligence methods for the automatic assessment of the health of natural habitats
The increase of global warming and pollution is a real danger to the survival of millions of species in natural habitats around the World. Read more
