We explore how social science research helps us to understand the responses of people and communities to the idea enhanced rock weathering deployment for carbon removal.

Economy & Society: Public Engagement and Risk Perception

Explores the involvement of diverse sectors and actors across the lifecycle of ERW, and the resultant dynamics emerging within the sociotechnical system.

Actors and the Sociotechnical System of Enhanced Weathering

We explore how people across the globe respond to enhanced weathering at a local and general level and the value of interdisciplinary research.

What Publics Think About Enhanced Weathering

We explore how Enhanced Rock Weathering influences atmospheric chemistry and Earth system feedbacks relevant to climate change mitigation.

Feedbacks of Enhanced Weathering in the Earth System

We discuss the use of large-scale simulation and optimisation models to predict how ERW could be deployed and scaled in practical, real-world contexts.

Using Big Data Simulation Models for Real-world Scenarios for CO2 Removal

We explore how the Centre’s modelling capabilities developed over time and how they are used to understand enhanced weathering across spatial scales.

Our Enhanced Rock Weathering Journey Modelling: From Grain to Globe

How do you build a new field of climate research? Hear how the Leverhulme Centre brought researchers together to study enhanced weathering and tackle the challenges along the way.

The Early Days: Building the Leverhulme Centre and Its Team

Explore the opportunities available at the&nbsp;NEOF Visitor Facility in Sheffield, including funded access to lab facilities, expert training and bioinformatics support.

What Is Environmental Omics? Inside the NERC Facility

Former visitor Dr Saleh Aljaafari talks about how the NEOF Visitor Facility supported him in using genomics tools to understand the diet of endangered tuna species in the Sea of Oman and Arabian Sea.

What Do Tuna Eat and Why Does It Matter for Conservation?

Former visitor Dr Sophie&nbsp;Scutt talks about how Illumina sequencing of eDNA in water samples can monitor the unseen disease risk of flooding and how the NEOF Visitor Facility team supported her work.

How Urban Flooding Can Spread Harmful Bacteria and Viruses

Dr&nbsp;Alejandro Maeda-Obregon&nbsp;talks about using eDNA to monitor the critically endangered Axolotl and endemic fish in Mexico, and&nbsp;how access to the NEOF Visitor Facility supported his research.

Using Environmental DNA to Track Axolotls in Mexico

Dr Anna Jemmett discusses her research on wild camel conservation and how the NEOF Visitor Facility provided funded access to the lab and training to support the project during her PhD.&nbsp;

Using DNA to Help Protect Endangered Wild Camels

We can find public art all around us, but what type of art is on display at the University of Sheffield?

Peregrines, Plantables and Totem Poles: Public Art at the University of Sheffield
