Enhanced crustal fertility facilitates mineral endowment in Meso- to Neoarchaean cratons
Summary. Many late Archaean economic mineral deposits are associated with the re-melting or leaching of older source rocks. Understanding the controls on crustal metal endowment will allow exploration efforts to be focussed on the most favourable crustal regions. Read more

Torture, human rights groups and community-based collaborations
Human rights organisations have had great successes in the prevention and reparation of torture around the world. However, there is a growing awareness that the scale of torture and the affected populations are much larger than the groups which human rights organisations have historically focused upon. Read more

Greenlandic tidewater glacier response to long-term climate change
This project will model the advance and retreat of major Greenlandic tidewater glaciers over the last 1000 years, and forecast their sensitivity to future climate change for the next 200 years. Read more
Understanding glacier dynamic change and iceberg risk evolution in Greenland
Project summary. Greenland’s marine terminating glaciers are undergoing rapid change, though how this impacts iceberg risks to settlements and current/future social and economic activities in fjords is currently poorly understood. Read more
Behavioural adaptation to climate change in birds
It has been suggested that social species have evolved in harsh environmental conditions, allowing for successful reproduction and survival in environments where pairs alone cannot succeed. Read more
Monitoring the Impact of Green Infrastructure using Citizen Science in Urban and Rural Catchments
Urban and rural environments face a range of pressures and impacts as a result of extreme weather events, including flooding, which are projected to increase in frequency and severity with climate change. Read more
Multi-objective optimisation of sensor network data collection with a mobile gateway
IoT applications such as precision agriculture and environmental monitoring often require sensors distributed over a wide area without fixed infrastructure. Read more
Determining the optimal mix of forestry systems and reserves under differing wildfire regimes for improving plant conservation
