Department Name: Earth Sciences
Abstract
We are asking for funds to run a scoping study to see whether a case can be made for a NERC Research Programme on "Rheological Controls on Deep Earth - Surface Interactions".
Planned Impact
Impact will be investigated during the scoping study.

| Description | This was a grant to support a workshop to provide ideas for a NERC thematic programme. This was successful in that a proposal to NERC for a programme on rheology was put forward. Eventually many aspects were incorporated into the programme and funded. |
| Exploitation Route | This is done via the new programme. |

| Description | This was used to organise a community workshop to scope out ideas of how the deep Earth affects habitability, especially from the point of view of understanding rheology. This lead to development of a NERC Thematic Programme on "Volatiles, Geodynamics, and Solid Earth Control on the Habitabile Planet". |
