Predicting and Mitigating Megafires under Climate Change (JONES_UENV25ARIES)
Scientific Background. Megafires, characterised by their extraordinary size, speed, and intensity, are increasingly threatening society, ecosystems, and ecosystem services such as carbon storage (1-4). Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme: Habitat networks designed for all - ensuring climate-resilience for a wide diversity of species
Biodiversity is threatened by habitat degradation and fragmentation, which hampers the ability of species to successfully shift their ranges in response to climate change. Read more
Epistemology of weather and climate prediction: What certainty can we have in the future of our environment?
Background. This project will use mathematics, meteorology and philosophy to explore the epistemology of weather and climate prediction. Read more
Re-imagining energy retrofit and home adaptation to deliver safe and resilient homes during interconnected energy, health, housing and climate crises
Project ID. SS_19. Theme: Safety and Sustainability. The Ministry of Defence warns of cascading risks, including flooding and energy insecurity, leading to homelessness and increased civil unrest (MoJ, 2024). Read more
