Here's a batch of fresh news and announcements from across Imperial.
From understanding our oceans to addressing energy demands with nuclear, here is some quick-read news from across Imperial.
Understanding oceans
A new $9.5m project aims to investigate how the ocean is warming, absorbing carbon, losing oxygen and becoming more acidic as a result of climate change. Dr Heather Graven, from the Department of Physics at Imperial is Co-Investigator on the international project, which is led by researchers from UC Santa Barbara and UC San Diego, USA.
The project is funded by the nonprofit Schmidt Sciences for the next five years, joining the Ocean Biogeochemistry Virtual Institute?(OBVI). The team will use new approaches that make use of machine learning, high resolution modelling and a wide range of data from the ocean and the atmosphere. The large scale of the project also means that links can be made between different activities that have not been joined up before, creating a more comprehensive picture of global ocean change than previously possible.
Dr Graven will contribute to data synthesis and modelling to determine past and future changes to the ocean environment.
