Palaeoecology and palaeophysiology of early flowering plants from the mid Cretaceous of West Greenland

University of Oxford
Department of Earth Sciences
Overview. Darwin referred to the appearance in the Cretaceous of flowering plants (angiosperms) in the fossil record as ‘an abominable mystery’, because it happened so long after the establishment of terrestrial floras and faunas in the late Paleozoic. Read more

Oceanographic connectivity: finding the climate change signal

University of Oxford
Department of Earth Sciences
Overview. Where do things drift in the ocean? This simple question is incredibly important for many applications, from marine ecology to tracking plastic pollution, yet we still lack a robust understanding of how drift through ocean currents may change in the future. Read more

Monitoring the rate of natural hydrogen production using magnetism and isotope geochemistry

University of Oxford
Department of Earth Sciences
Overview. Hydrogen plays a critical role in achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions, a goal the UK aims to achieve by 2050. Hydrogen does not produce CO2 during combustion, and will therefore be a critical energy source for achieving net zero. Read more
