   Astronomers discover huge hydrogen cloud - a new clue to formation of stars  

2. Get Trained on GaP

   All grant funded projects and knowledge exchange projects must be recorded on the GaP system from April 2020

3. Mind the GaP!

   Time is rapidly running out for Principal Investigators to be trained on the new Grants and Projects (GaP) system. It has been agreed by the University that any bids for external funding (research and enterprise activity) from April 2020 will need to be set up by the Principal Investigator on the GaP system, so its important that you book onto training ASAP.

4. 'We can't expect farmers to take the burden of rewetting peatlands'

   Research at the university is focusing on rewetting peatlands for agriculture to ensure a sustainable future, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and creating income generation for farmers.

5. Draining peatlands for agriculture adds 'huge pulse' to global warming

   New research has calculated the damage done by farmers converting tropical peat swamps to oil palm plantations.

10. Astronomers catch Tatooine multiple star system as it forms

    For the first time astronomers, including Dr Richard Parker, of the Astrophysics Research Institute at LJMU, have caught a multiple-star system as it is created, and their observations are providing new insight into how such systems, and possibly the solar system, are formed. The amazing images taken from a series of telescopes on Earth show clouds of gas which are in the process of developing into stars.
