School of GeoSciences
Browse by
The School of GeoSciences is organised into the following Research Institutes:
-
Earth and Planetary Science: geology and geophysics relevant to resources, natural hazards, earth dynamics, and the environment.
-
Geography and the Lived Environment: understanding connections between people, society and the environment.
-
Global Change: understanding of past, present and future changes in the Earth system through measurements, theory, and computational modelling.
The School has a very diverse research portfolio, with researchers leading or contributing to a wide range of groups, centres and multi-institutional consortia.

This dataset contains two netCDF file reporting terrestrial C-cycle analysis of Kenya at 0.25 x 0.25 degree spatial and monthly temporal resolutions for 2014 to 2017. One analysis specifically focused on forested land of ... -
CARDAMOM Brazil C-cycle analysis (1x1 degree; monthly; 2001-2017)
This dataset contains a netCDF file reporting terrestrial C-cycle analysis of Brazil at 1 x 1 degree spatial and monthly temporal resolutions for 2001 to 2017. The analysis uses the CARDAMOM model-data fusion framework to ... -
ATEC manuscript 3 - supporting data: "Combining Process Modelling and LAI Observations to Diagnose Winter Wheat Nitrogen Status and Forecast Yield"
Climate, nitrogen (N) and leaf area index (LAI) are key determinants of crop yield. N additions can enhance yield but must be managed efficiently to reduce pollution. Complex process models estimate N status by simulating ... -
Agronomic trait and floral resource data
Mass-flowering crops, such as oilseed rape (OSR; Brassica napus), provide pulses of nectar and pollen helping to support pollinators and their pollination services, in agricultural landscapes. Despite their value to ... -
The Impact of Climate Change and Climate Extremes on Sugarcane Production
We combine the Soil-Plant-Atmosphere model with detailed timeseries measurements from experimental sugarcane plots in Guangxi, China, and São Paulo State, Brazil. We first calibrated and validated modelled carbon and water ... -
