CENTA 2027-B35 Go with the flow? Guiding sustainable dam flow releases to simultaneously promote ecological health and water security

University of Birmingham
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
There are >3000 dams in the UK that provide >75% of national public drinking water supplies (1). These unnaturally transform river flow regimes, where typically fixed ‘compensation flows’ are released for most the year except when reservoir spillovers cause rapid downstream flushes. Read more

CENTA 2027-B33 When does snow matter? Looking at the sensitivity of river flow to a warming climate

University of Birmingham
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Snow acts as a natural seasonal reservoir across many regions of the world. Water that falls as snow can be stored through winter and often released later during spring and summer, sustaining river flows, ecosystems, hydropower and water supplies. Read more

CENTA 2027-B32 The third (plastic) pole – Microplastic accumulation and release within remote, snow-dominated environments

University of Birmingham
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Environmental plastic pollution is now ubiquitous globally, with high concentrations detected in indoor and outdoor environments that are of increasing concern for human and environmental health1,2. Read more

CENTA 2027-B31 REWET-FIRE: Does peatland rewetting reduce extreme wildfire risk during drought?

University of Birmingham
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Peatlands are among the UK’s most important carbon stores. However, many peatlands have been degraded, leaving them vulnerable to drought and wildfire. Read more

CENTA 2027-B30 Global exposure of critical infrastructure to wildfire

University of Birmingham
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Wildfire poses a growing threat to critical infrastructure, with consequences extending well beyond the burned area. Fires can damage electricity generation and transmission networks, disrupt rail and road systems and threaten data centres and drinking-water catchments. Read more

EPSRC DLA studentship in Quantum phases of matter with boundary

Cardiff University
Cardiff School of Mathematics
  Research Group: Geometry, Algebra, Mathematical Physics and Topology (GAPT)
The study of quantum phases of matter has become an important topic in mathematical physics, partly because there is a rich mathematical structure behind it. Read more

CENTA 2027-B29 Hot or not? Modelling river temperature dynamics to support restoration interventions along iconic chalk watercourses

University of Birmingham
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Climate change is exacerbating high river water temperature extremes by increasing energy (heat) inputs and drought (low flow) severities (1), which has significant implications for nature and people (2,3). Read more

CENTA 2027-B28 AI-Enhanced Global Hydrological Modelling for Assessing UK Water Security Threats

University of Birmingham
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Global hydrology models (GHMs) play a crucial role in understanding threats to water security. Their global remit means they can be used to assess transboundary impacts from water security crises, e.g. Read more

CENTA 2027-B27 Mangroves in a changing climate: how increasing salinity alters carbon gain and water use

University of Birmingham
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Climate change is accelerating sea-level rise, increasing saltwater intrusion into coastal wetlands and exposing mangrove ecosystems to increasingly saline conditions (Acosta-Motos et al., 2017; Dessu et al., 2018). Read more

CENTA 2027-B26 Thermal sensitivity of West African tropical moist forests

University of Birmingham
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Global air temperatures and the occurrence of heatwaves are increasing and set to continue over the coming century. Plant physiological processes such as photosynthesis are highly temperature sensitive and therefore there are significant potential consequences of climate change for plant function. Read more

CENTA 2027-B25 Which floodplains are the most important? Characterising global connectivity between rivers and their flood corridors

University of Birmingham
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
When river flow is high enough to exceed the banks of its channels, it inundates the floodplain. Integrated over entire catchments, so-called river-floodplain exchange impacts a significant amount of the flow moving through river basins, carrying sediments, nutrients, and other materials. Read more
