Environmental hazards
Environmental hazards manifest themselves in a variety of forms and as such research into the causes and effects of them is often multidisciplinary in nature, requiring some understanding of the terrestrial, aquacultural, or environmental impact and system function. A diverse suite of technical tools from geospatial data analysis to complex numerical models can be used to solve practical problems in watershed modelling, ecosystem science, wildlife ecology, water resource management, landscape ecology, pollution control, conservation biology and land use or land cover dynamics.

Projects
BRECcIA - Building REsearch Capacity for sustainable water and food security In sub-saharan Africa
The BRECcIA project is aimed at developing research and researchers to understand water and food security challenges in sub-Saharan Africa
Dispersion of Small Inertial Particles in Characteristic Atmospheric Boundary Layer Flows
Zheng-Tong Xie (Investigator), Thorsten Wittemeier
This project aims at improving the near-field accuracy of short term predictions of the dispersion of particulate matter in the atmospheric boundary layer. For this purpose a variety of LES and DNS modelling approaches is used.
Flow and sedimentation processes in submarine meandering channels
Stephen Darby (Investigator)
The overall aim of this project is to generate a step-change in our understanding of the interactions between flow,
morphology & sedimentology within an active submarine channel fed by saline density currents. This central aim will be addressed through a combination of field measurements and innovative numerical modelling of gravity current morphodynamics
Impacts of Climate and Sea-Level Change on Coastal Gullies
Stephen Darby (Investigator), Chris Hackney, Julian Leyland
Content to follow
Mathematical modelling of plant nutrient uptake
Tiina Roose (Investigator)
In this project I will describe a model of plant water and nutrient uptake and how to translate this model and experimental data from the single root scale to the root branching structure scale.
ยต-VIS Computed Tomography Centre
Ian Sinclair, Richard Boardman, Dmitry Grinev, Philipp Thurner, Simon Cox, Jeremy Frey, Mark Spearing, Kenji Takeda (Investigators)
A dedicated centre for computed tomography (CT) at Southampton, providing complete support for 3D imaging science, serving Engineering, Biomedical, Environmental and Archaeological Sciences. The centre encompasses five complementary scanning systems supporting resolutions down to 200nm and imaging volumes in excess of one metre: from a matchstick to a tree trunk, from an ant's wing to a gas turbine blade.
