This research project explores how community visual arts practice can help young people flourish and connect with their communities despite adverse experiences they may have faced. The research focuses on socially excluded young people with disabilities and young people...

Summary Predicted rates of sea-level rise for the 21st century, such as those in the latest IPCC assessment, are global in scope and do not provide sufficient information for coastal residents, stake holders and planners. Several processes need to be quantified if we wa...

The ice is melting! Between 1979 and 2007 the summer sea ice extent in the Arctic has halved, from over 8 million square km to just over 4 million square km. Moreover, measurements from submarines suggest that its thickness has plummeted by some 40%. As to the future, t...

The Arctic is changing rapidly. One of the clearest changes is a reduction in the extent and thickness of summer sea ice. The loss of ice is predicted to increase in the coming years as a consequence of climatic warming. There may be no summer sea ice in the Arctic by 2...

Living birds evolved from a flightless ancestor. The changes that eventually made flight possible not only involved modifying the theropod dinosaur body plan and evolving feathers, but also required the brain and senses to be developed to cope with life off the ground. ...

In December 1995 a group of marine scientists and technologists met to define the scope of a thematic programme proposal that would demonstrate the utility of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) for ocean science. The aim of the programme was tackle questions that cou...

The aims of this project are simple. By rotting velvet worms (onychophorans) under controlled conditions we will generate the data required to start correctly interpreting the fossil record of lobopodians. Accurate placement of lobopodians in the Tree of Life has the po...
