The initial stage of this project consists of a one-year sabbatical period for Prof. Nigel Mottram, funded through a "Discipline Hopping" grant, by the Medical Research Council (supported by EPSRC, BBSRC and NERC).
This first phase will involve investigations into various instances of anisotropy in the natural environment (see pages on this web-site), including collaborations with members of theScottish Association of Marine Science at the Scottish Marine Institute in Dunstaffnage, near Oban.
Associated funding has also been provided by the University Strathclyde, through a "Bridging the Gap" project, and the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland.
