The 澳门六合彩开奖记录's world-leading scientists contribute to a wealth of pioneering research, and are well placed to provide factual, informed accounts of the different ways climate change is affecting our planet.

Here are just some of the areas in which our scientists are investigating climate change around the world.

Changes to the environment

We've all seen images of glaciers melting and wildfires raging, but sometimes, the most unexpected changes can have a devastating effect.

  • Maths breakthroughs could be crucial in the simulation and identification of dangerous tipping points in the Earth’s temperature, giving scientists advanced warnings.
  • AI can be used to predict extreme weather like Storm Ciaran to improve forecasting speed and accuracy.
  •  gives climate scientists a clearer understanding of how our oceans absorb and lock away the element. The code is open-source and available to anyone.

The way we eat

Climate change is not only affecting the choices we make in the kitchen, but it is also impacting the availability of certain foods throughout the year and causing many of our farming methods to become unsustainable.

  • Faba beans: we have been conducting a £2 million, three-year study into the benefits for both the climate and the body if we switch from soya to faba flour in supermarket bread.
  • How heat stress affects cattle:understanding how livestock cope with climate change and how we can adapt animal husbandry methods to suit hotter temps.

The way we live

The choices we make every single day can affect both the climate and the impact we have on the environment. Our experts are researching how humans impact the planet and how we can adapt our behaviour to help make a change.

  • Professor of Applied Ecology, Tom Oliver,  that while climate change can at first seem an overwhelming challenge, the key is to start viewing ourselves as part of a collective, rather than individuals.
  • PhD research student, Konstantinos Tsiolis, explains his in our environment ands how we can better understand and support their needs.
  • Professor of Atmospheric Science, Paul Williams, examines how .
  • Dr Stella Lignou has found that consumer confusion about what is and what is not recyclable is still hindering the efforts of European governments and local authorities to meet recycling goals.
  • Dr Rory Jones looks at how small businesses can reduce energy consumption, slash emissions, and save money.
  • Professor Hannah Cloke shows how swimming pools of the wealthy can cause water deprivation in poorer areas and increase cities’ demand unsustainably.

What could happen in the future?

  • Professor of Hydrology, Hannah Cloke, examines the possibility of as a way to protect coastal communities against rising sea levels.
  • Record temperatures in the Atlantic give a glimpse into what a world three degrees warmer than pre-industrial age averages could be.
