After remaining stable for almost a decade, methane (CH4) concentrations in the atmosphere have started to rise again since 2007. Increasing emissions from the warming… Read More »Plant-climate interactive feedbacks to peatland methane dynamics
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions and aid sustainable development, there is an urgent need to support our electricity generating capacity through the development of low… Read More »Optimal exploitation of multiple marine renewable energy resources
The spatial and temporal dynamics of soil moisture content can have a critical effect on slope stability in landslides and engineered earthworks. But measurement of… Read More »New geophysical approaches for monitoring landslides in safety-critical slopes
Toxic cyanobacterial blooms have a damaging effect on water quality in lakes. Hot summers typically enable formation of a shallow mixed layer at the surface… Read More »Measuring and modelling the effects of climate change on cyanobacteria in lakes
Variability in the magnetic field generated by dynamic processes outside the solid Earth can occur over a variety of timescales. As well as limiting the… Read More »Mapping the drivers of geomagnetically induced currents
Global change including population driven land use change is putting tropical forests under pressure. Changes in forest plant and soil biodiversity as a result of… Read More »Logging impacts on forest soil biodiversity and function in Borneo
This studentship explores the relationship between atmospheric ammonia concentrations at the landscape scale and agricultural management practices at the field and farm scale for predominantly… Read More »Linking landscape-scale atmospheric ammonia concentrations with farm management practices
Tropical forests contain more carbon (C) than any other terrestrial ecosystem, at least half of which is stored belowground. Roughly 50% of the world’s tropical… Read More »Linking functional diversity with soil carbon dynamics in secondary tropical forests
Forests’ ecosystems and their soils represent the largest reservoir of organic carbon (C) in terrestrial ecosystems. The belowground processes of forests mediate many key biogeochemical… Read More »Investigating the role of soil microbes and rhizodeposition in carbon cycling and long-term C sequestration of forest ecosystems
