Constraining rates and style of marine-influenced ice sheet decay

ScotIce: How fast could ice caps collapse?

Average surface air temperatures have been rising everywhere on Earth over the last century and are predicted to continue to rise for at least the next century. One of the clearest indicators of this warming is the shrinking of glaciers and the marked reduction of sea ice in the Arctic, where atmospheric warming is most pronounced. Melting of sea ice does not contribute to sea level rise, but meltwater from land-based glaciers and ice caps ends up in the oceans and is a major contributor to sea level rise.

POLYGRAM

Investigation of methane cliumped isotope in atmoshpere (ambient air, point sources, etc) to constrain methane budgets and inform mitigation strategies, in collaboration with several other UK universities

ERW : co-benefits for agriculture & the environment

Investigates the change in soil chemistry, with and without ERW, to quantify the effects this process may have on soil, plant health and the environment in the longer term. Negative impacts such as potentially toxic element (PTE) contamination will also be assessed focusing on ecological and human health impact.
