Rethinking Globalisation in the light of Contraction and CONVERGEnce (CONVERGE)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2009, Date de fin: 31 août 2013,

"The CONVERGE project will build from the concept of 'contraction and convergence' that informed the Kyoto process.

Contaminant-specific isotope analyses as sharp environmental-forensics tools for site characterisation, monitoring and source apportionment of pollutants in soil (ISOSOIL)

Date du début: 1 févr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2012,

Conventional remediation-monitoring programmes, i.e. analysis of contaminant and metabolite concentrations over time and space, often provide inconclusive assessments due to inability to resolve among mixing of several contaminant sources, degradation, dispersion and other redistribution processes. The isoSoil objective is to firmly establish concentration-independent contaminant-specific isotope ...

Uncovering developmental and functional constraints on the occupation of conodont tooth morphospace (EVOLVING TEETH)

Date du début: 1 juil. 2009, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2011,

"The fossil record is predominantly a record of organismal morphology. In the late 20th Century, techniques for mapping the universe of organismal form were developed – the so-called ‘morphospace’ plots – that provided a means of considering qualitatively the heterogeneity of morphospace occupation. The limitation of this approach has been that morphospaces became vehicles for discussion, not anal ...

BIoGeochemistry in a high CO2 World (BIGCOW): lessons from the Ocean Anoxic Events (BIGCOW)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2009, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2011,

"Model predictions are regularly made about the state of marine ecosystems and carbon cycle in a future high CO2 world. But while increased ocean stratification means lower future biological export production in some models, in others, higher temperatures inducing faster rates of biological activity drive completely the opposite response. Rates of nitrogen fixation may increase in a warmer ocean a ...

Productivity and carbon transformations on the Greenland Ice Sheet (ProGrIS)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2009, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2011,

Glaciers cover 10% of the Earth’s land surface and represent an important, yet very little studied, ecosystem. The biogeochemical cycling of carbon in the glacial ecosystem is largely influenced by microbial communities on glacier surfaces that mainly consist of heterotrophic and photoautotrophic bacteria. They have the potential to play a significant role in regional carbon budgets by means of pr ...

Date du début: 1 oct. 2009, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2011,

"The fossil record provides a unique opportunity to study changes in ecological diversity over time. However, understanding palaeoecological structure is complicated by evolutionary convergence, which can cause morphologically distinct organisms to fill the same ecological niche. Integration of palaeobiomechanical methodology is necessary to understand changes in ecological structure at a function ...

Date du début: 1 mars 2008, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2010,

The convective circulation of the world's ocean exerts important controls on two key aspects of the climate system: the transport of heat around the Earth and the degree to which the oceans sequester greenhouse carbon dioxide away from the atmosphere. Models of the past circulation predict variations in its strength that have been implicated in climate change. Marine sediments record changes in oc ...
