  Ironing out the carbon cycle: Carbon burial associated with iron oxides in Arctic shelf sediments
University of Leeds School of Earth & Environment
  Dr C Marz, Prof C.L. Peacock
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
As marine geoscientists, we are interested in the capability of the world’s oceans to sequester atmospheric CO2 into photosynthetic algal biomass, and to ultimately lock it away in seafloor sediments when this biomass dies and sinks to the ocean depths.

  Quantification of sediment organic matter fractions at Crose Mere, Shropshire FTNIRS and FTIRS
University of Liverpool School of Environmental Sciences
  Dr J Boyle, Prof R Chiverell
Application Deadline: 23 January 2019
Palaeolimnological assessment of recent environmental change, building quantitative records of past states that pre-date instrumental measurements, has dramatically strengthened our understanding of current ecosystem functioning, enabling political and management decisions by providing firm evidence of both the existence of change, and of its causes.

  Dissecting the microbial foodweb: determining the influence of phytoplankton derived organic matter substrates on bacterial growth efficiency
University of Southampton Ocean and Earth Science
  Dr C Evans, Prof C Moore
Application Deadline: 4 January 2019
Project Rationale. Bacterial growth plays a key role in regulating carbon and nutrients fluxes, and energy flow in marine ecosystems.

  Fracture permeability response to the gas adsorption/desorption process in organic rocks by coupled Hydro–Mechanical modelling
Aberdeen University Department of Geology
  Dr G Quan, Dr K Wu
Applications accepted all year round
Gas adsorption/desorption is an essential process related to gas transport in fractured organic rocks, such as coals and organic-rich shales.

  Mesoscale simulations of organic solar cells
University of Bath Department of Physics
  Prof A Walker
Application Deadline: 27 January 2019
Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) show much promise for next-generation solar cells thanks to their low cost, and the fact that they are flexible and can be printed over large areas.
