Developing a methodology to measure and optimise the impacts of climate change on urban building environment (|OP2261)
Following the Government heating and energy target guidelines to improved building performance it is important to consider building design and human activities when examining the impact of changing microclimate due to climate change. Read more
What Are The Controls on Aqueous N Export From Human-modified Tropical Peatlands? (OP2260)
Tropical peatlands play a critical role in the global cycles of C and N, floodwater regulation and the control of riverine chemistry. Read more
Modelling meltwater patterns by statistical physics (OP2259)
This project explores some open problems at the intersection of statistical physics and climate science, which are the two halves of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics. Read more
Understanding ecological memory: plants and ecosystems as information processors (OP2258)
Predicting the impact of climate change on ecosystems presents a major challenge due to Earth’s complexity and adaptive dynamics. Read more
Physiological response of quinoa to environmental stress: effects on nutritional profile, plant immunity, pest management and soil carbon content (OP2257)
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean crop with numerous beneficial applications in agriculture/food systems, resulting from its excellent nutritional profile, high adaptability to grow on marginal lands (unsuitable for major crops) and tolerance to extreme environmental conditions (high temperatures, drought, and saline soils). Read more
Towards better representation of surface-subsurface flow interactions in urban areas particularly during extreme events (OP2256)
Detailed flood models are increasingly used to assess future flood risk in cities and catchments, and to design flood attenuation features including green infrastructure (GI) which reduce the amount of water entering drainage systems via infiltration, transpiration and storage. Read more
Past climate changes in Southeast Asia. Insights from cave stalagmites (OP2255)
Anthropogenic climate change is seen both as an overall warming of the atmosphere and oceans, and as shifts in the atmospheric circulation and ocean currents. Read more
Investigating the impact of climate change on hydrocarbon degrading microbial consortia and bioremediation capacities of petroleum refinery sludge (OP2254)
Anthropogenic activities of the fossil fuel industry are key contributor to environmental pollution, producing more than one billion tons of waste sludge annually. Read more
Nonlinear wave description of glacial outburst floods (OP2253)
Glacial outburst floods, or jökulhlaups, are a major hazard in many actively glaciated regions. They can be generated by a wide range of mechanisms such as ice-dammed lake drainage, glacier surges and subglacial volcanic activity. Read more
The worsening impacts of Contaminated Lands/Soils due to Climate Change (OP2252)
Our hypothesis is that the hazards posed by contaminated lands/soils are worsening due to climate change. Read more
The impact of ferric phosphate molluscicides on soil micronutrients bioavailability, microbial communities, and agricultural green house gas emissions (OP2251)
Agriculture accounts for 9% of the UK’s and 30% of the world’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The use of chemical-based pesticides and fertilisers as well as the disruption of soils contribute to these emissions. Read more
Controls on sub-arctic coastal zone dynamics, Skeiðarársandur, SE Iceland (OP2250)
Background. Climate change is driving rapid changes in sub-arctic glacier fed coastal systems worldwide, resulting in concomitant changes in proglacial topography and sediment flux. Read more
The use of Consequence forecasting to quantify the impact of climate change on society (OP2249)
The effective functioning of society is critically dependent on having a working critical infrastructure (transport, communication, electricity networks etc). Read more
Building social-ecological resilience to maintain a viable fishing sector in the UK - a key response to climate change (OP2248)
The context of the Anthropocene presents a new set of challenges where the interconnections between people and the environment become ever more dynamic and significant (Folke et al 2021). Read more
Role of turbidity currents and biofilm in nutrient transport to deep-sea environment (OP2247)
Powerful seabed sediment flows called turbidity currents form the largest sediment accumulations, deepest canyons and longest channels on Earth. Read more
