UKESM - UK Earth System Modelling (2014 to present)
The UKESM project develops advanced Earth System Models to provide robust science knowledge in support of UK and international efforts to combat climate change.
CLASS - Climate Linked Atlantic Sector Science (2018 to 2024)
Multicentre collaboration between NERC institutes to address key knowledge gaps in our understanding of the Atlantic.
TerraFIRMA - Future Impacts, Risks and Mitigation Actions in a changing Earth system (2022 to 2027)
Multi-centre programme between NERC institutes and the UK Met Office to evaluate and quantify climate change impacts using Earth system models, including UKESM1.
BIOPOLE - Biogeochemical processes and ecosystem function in changing polar systems and their global impacts (2022 to 2027)
Interdisciplinary multicentre programme examining biogeochemical processes and ecosystem function in polar ecosystems.
COMFORT - Our Common Future Ocean In The Earth System (2019 to 2023)
Multinational EU project quantifying biogeochemical cycles to develop understanding and close knowledge gaps around potential "tipping points". The project focuses on the triple threat of (1) warming, (2) deoxygenation, and (3) ocean acidification, and how to optimally deal with this threat.
CUSTARD - Carbon Uptake and Seasonal Traits in Antarctic Remineralisation Depth (2018 to 2022)
The CUSTARD project is examining how seasonal changes in plankton dynamics in the Southern Ocean influence how long carbon can remain trapped in the ocean rather than escaping to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
CRESCENDO - Coordinated Research in Earth Systems and Climate: Experiments, kNowledge, Dissemination and Outreach (2015 to 2021)
Multinational EU project focused on development and analysis of Earth System Models, and support of CMIP6.
COMICS - Controls over Ocean Mesopelagic Interior Carbon Storage (2017 to 2021)
Collaborative research project quantifying the flow of carbon in the ocean's "twilight zone" to improve climate modelling (ended 2021).
SOLSTICE - Sustainable Oceans, Livelihoods and food Security Through Increased Capacity in Ecosystem research in the Western Indian Ocean (2017 to 2021)
Global Challenges Research Fund project strengthening capacity in Western Indian Ocean coastal communities on food security and sustainable livelihoods.
GULLS - Global learning for local solutions (2013 to 2016)
The project goal is to encourage and assist coastal communities to adapt to climate change and climate variability through a comparative and trans-disciplinary whole-system approach to the characterisation, assessment and prediction of the future of coastal-marine resources.
