NERC

Changing Arctic Ocean: implications for marine biology and biogeochemistry

This programme aims to develop the knowledge needed to understand how changes in the physical environment will affect the large-scale ecosystem structure and biogeochemical functioning of the Arctic Ocean. It aims to identify potential major impacts and provide projections for the future.

NERC

Changing North Atlantic Ocean and its impact on climate

This UK-US programme aims to aid long-term climate prediction by improving understanding of the Subpolar North Atlantic. It will extend an international observation project in the area by a decade and use ocean-climate models to increase understanding of subpolar variability and its impacts.

NERC

Changing the Environment programme

This programme aims to stimulate and build a critical mass and research community that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries, applying a whole systems approach to solve complex environmental challenges.

NERC

Clean air

The aim of this programme is to support high-quality research and innovation that will help develop practical solutions for today’s air quality issues and equip the UK to proactively tackle future air quality challenges in order to protect health and support clean growth.

NERC

Climate and environmental risk analytics for resilient finance (CERAF)

The aim of the CERAF programme is to establish a climate and environmental risk analytics capability and capacity in the UK that will:
