Projects
ACES researchers work on a range of projects, typically focussing on coupled human-environmental systems in a wide range of mainly terrestrial environments around the world. Since our inception in 2007, ACES staff have worked on projects worth over £30M (leading to over 140 articles and refereed journals and almost 100 presentations at conferences). Of this total, £3.1M can be directly attributed to individual ACES staff/time costs.
