"Socio-spatial inequality, deprived neighbourhoods, and neighbourhood effects" (DEPRIVEDHOODS)
Date du début: 1 août 2014, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2019,
"The objective of DEPRIVEDHOODS is to come to a better understanding of the relationship between socio-economic inequality, poverty and neighbourhoods. The spatial concentration of poverty within cities is of great concern to national governments, partly based on a belief in neighbourhood effects: the idea that living in deprived neighbourhoods has an additional negative effect on residents’ life ...

"Species do not live in isolation, but adapt and ultimately, evolve, in relationship with other species as well as with their chemical and physical environment. In the marine environment, this interaction is intimately two-way – the surface biogeochemical environment modulates the makeup of the pelagic ecosystem, yet at the same time, the ecosystem assemblage, by setting the strength of the biolog ...

"The Standard Model of particle physics is incomplete. It fails to address suchfundamental questions as the baryon asymmetry of the universe(i.e. our own existence), dark matter and dark energy, and gravity;it has too many free parameters, and suffers from self-consistencyproblems (the fine-tuning and hierarchy problem). Nearly allalternatives to the Standard Model that address these problems pre ...

Deep partial melting of subducted carbon and the formation of sub-lithospheric diamonds and their mineral inclusions (DeepCarbon)
Date du début: 12 janv. 2015, Date de fin: 26 mai 2017,
The key aspect of the Earth’s deep carbon cycle is how exogene carbon is recycled into the deeper earth via subduction of altered, carbonated, mafic oceanic crust. We aim to use ultrahigh-pressure experimental petrology to investigate the behaviour of subducted carbonate at pressures corresponding to the deep upper mantle, the mantle transition zone and the uppermost lower mantle.
