Groups

  • Earth System Science Group
  • The Earth System Science Group, led by Tim Lenton focuses on understanding the Earth as a whole system, comprising of life and its environment, including the atmosphere, ocean, sea-ice, land surface, ice sheets, and crustal rocks. Our research interests span the full range of Earth system timescales, from the formation of the planet 4.6 billion years ago to current and future human-induced global change. Our primary research tools are a spectrum of Earth system models, which we are actively developing.

  • Japan Uncertainty Modelling Project
  • JUMP (Japan Uncertainty Modelling Project) is a new project in FRCGC, which links with groups in NIES and CCSR working on similar subjects. Running for 5 years, from April 2007, we aim to investigate and reduce the uncertainty associated with various aspects of climate change ranging over the multidecadal to centennial time scale.

  • Marine Trace Gas Biogeochemistry Group
  • Established by Professor Peter Liss, the Group carries out research mainly in the area of air-sea exchange of trace gases. This involves studies of gases such as dimethyl sulphide (DMS) and related compounds (DMSP, DMSO, Acrylic Acid), organo-halogens, alkyl nitrates, non-methane hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ammonia and methylamines and some volatile trace metals. We are interested in the processes of formation and destruction of these gases in seawater, how they cross the air-sea interface and how the rate of interfacial transfer can be parameterised and quantified. These gases are reactive in the atmosphere and are important in aspects of air chemistry (including redox and acid-base chemistry) and the radiation balance of the atmosphere via the formation of particles.

  • Quaternary QUEST
  • Quaternary QUEST is part of QUEST (Quantifying and Understanding the Earth System. Project partners University of Bristol, University of East Anglia, National Oceanography Centre Southampton, Open University, University of Oxford and University of Cambridge. It's aim is to achieve better understanding of atmospheric CO2 carbon dioxide concentration changes over the late quaternary period (from ~130 kyr ago to the present day) through global and regional palaeoclimate reconstruction from stable isotope records and palaeoclimate modelling modeling using earth system models of intermediate complexity (EMICs) GENIE1, GENIE2 and FAMOUS. Quaternary QUEST is funded by NERC (Natural Environment Research Council, UK).

  • QUEST-DESIRE
  • QUEST-DESIRE is part of QUEST (Quantifying and Understanding the Earth System), funded by the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). DESIRE - Dynamics of the Earth System and the Ice-Core Record - is a joint English-French project, including collaborators at the Universities of Bristol, Reading, Leeds, Exeter, East Anglia, Cambridge, Lancaster, Cardiff, Bordeaux and the OU, and at the LGGE, IPSL/LSCE, and BAS. Aims of the project include developing a better ('quantitative and predictive') understanding of changes in atmospheric methane and carbon dioxide concentrations as preserved in the ice core record, extending back some 800kyr.

  • QUEST-QUAAC
  • QUAAC is a QUEST Theme 1 project focussing on the interactions between climate and atmospheric composition. The principal goal is to improve understanding of the role of surface processes in influencing atmospheric oxidizing capacity and aerosol loading. The main tool for the project is the new community chemistry-climate model UKCA.
