New research on the impact of barriers on fish populations and distribution is now underway in the Trent catchment. PhD candidate, Edward Dilks, talks about
Scientists have discovered for the first time that invasive rats on tropical islands are affecting the territorial behaviour of fish on surrounding coral reefs.
This blog post was written by Jordan Blanchard-Lafayette and Marissa Lo, with contributions from Aqil Rashid (pictured l-r). Jordan is studying for his PhD on the cultural drivers of deforestation at Lancaster University and The University of Nottingham.
Exploring drivers of Red Kite space use in winter
Welcome to the first of this two part series: ‘Uma Saidera - The endless lessons I'm taking home from Brazil’. I hope you'll enjoy reading, delivered directly from my 'rede' (hammock) to your inbox.
New evidence from Antarctica shows that toxic ‘fluorinated forever chemicals’ have increased markedly in the remote environment in recent decades and scientists believe CFC-replacements could be among likely sources.
A new study published in Nature Communications demonstrates the important role that planting new commercial forests could play in the fight against climate change by including new accounting of greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation achieved from future use of harvested wood.
Toxic chemicals used in non-stick pans and waterproof clothes are threatening polar bears because they accumulate in Arctic ice and are leaking into seawater in higher concentrations as a result of global warming, a study has found.The poly and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are known as “f
Secondary forests are growing on deforested land in the Amazon – but not enough to offset emissions from logging.
Climate scientists use the output from multiple climate models to investigate potential future change. Here, Matt Amos discusses his research about how we can use data science techniques to best combine results and output from these different models.

When rats invade tropical islands, they can trigger a chain reaction that reverberates all the way to coral reefs, researchers say.
From moon missions to fast-charging batteries and AI-sourced antibiotics, in no particular order, the year’s significant scientific developments
Listening by the Lake In August 2021, the Institute installed four listening posts by the side of the lake on Highfields Park. We wanted to experiment with a different way of reaching the local community, as during the Covid-19 pandemic most of the universities engagement with audiences happened...
What are the main threats to British raptors and have these changed over time?
My name is Hannah Kemp and I am a PhD researcher at the University of Nottingham working in partnership with the National Trust. Across the UK, many freshwater ecosystems are experiencing more frequent and widespread blooms of filamentous macroalgae, more commonly known as blanket weed. The formation of thick mats on lake and pond surfaces … Continue reading Bloomin’ blanket weed! Call for participation in algae and lake management questionnaire »
Expanding commercial conifer forestry is the most efficient strategy for achieving climate change mitigation through woodland creation, according to
Known as 'forever' chemicals due to the fact they do not break down in the environment, poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are used in a wide range of products and processes from fire proofing to stain resistant surfaces.
ECRi blog post on ground level ozone and its effect on the nitrogen dynamics of wheat.
Large-scale forest restoration in the Amazon is an important “nature-based solution” to climate change, a major focus of the UK-hosted UN Climate Change COP26 Conference in November.
Environmental Chemistry publishes manuscripts addressing the chemistry of the environment (air, water, soil, sediments, space, and biota)
