Hidden Ocean Forests: Understanding the Ecological and Physiological Properties of Phytoplankton in Subsurface Layers
Satellite sensors have provided an unprecedented view of changes in phytoplankton chlorophyll in the surface ocean. Yet in many ocean regions, from the poles to the tropics, the maximum concentration of chlorophyll occurs at depths which are invisible to earth-orbiting satellites. Read more
Fate of past submarine volcanic input to the ocean
Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) are extremely large volumes of extrusive igneous rock, created during relatively short-lived volcanic events during the Phanerozoic, often coinciding with major environmental (e.g., Cenozoic hyperthermals and Mesozoic oceanic anoxic events or OAEs) and biotic change (e.g., mass extinctions).

Towards a holistic understanding of carbonate mineralisation controls
Calcium-carbonates (CaCO. 3. ) are climate-controlling minerals, acting as long-term sinks in the biogeochemical carbon cycle, and playing the role of stable carbon stores in many carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies. Read more
Plastic everywhere: novel analytical approaches to quantifying nano-plastics in the environment
The vast industrial production of plastic products over the last 50 years has produced a new set of widespread environmental contaminants. Read more
Draw down of volcanic CO2 as a mechanism of climate recovery following periods of enhanced volcanism in Earth’s geological past
Large igneous provinces (LIPs) have been linked with major disruptions of Earth’s climate system. These include four of the five major mass extinctions of the Phanerozoic and widespread episodes of environmental change during Ocean Anoxic Events (OAE). Read more
Cycling of Trace Metals in Framvaren Fjord - Understanding Proxies for Past Marine Conditions
There have been many dramatic changes in climate and the carbon cycle in the geological record, including periods of widespread ocean anoxia and related global climate shifts during Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs). Read more
Constraining the tempo of Mesozoic Oceanic Anoxic Events using extra-terrestrial He isotopes
Reconstructing past climatic and environmental change from the pre-Quaternary rock record relies on having a robust chronology of events that can be confidently correlated from place to place. Read more
EPSRC CDT in Developing National Capability for Materials 4.0, with the Henry Royce Institute
Right now, our society faces huge, urgent challenges. From the imperative to achieve net-zero, to the need to build a resilient, circular economy in an uncertain world, to the drive for increased productivity as our fellow nations embrace the digital revolution. Read more
Tracking ocean circulation in the Cretaceous ‘Chalk Sea’
Ocean circulation is a fundamental component of the modern climate system but may have operated very differently in the geological past, especially when palaeogeography was different, climates were much warmer and sea-levels were considerably higher. Read more
Tidewater glacier mass-loss mechanisms in Northwest Greenland
The Greenland Ice Sheet is currently the leading ice-sheet contributor to sea-level rise. Read more
The impact of ocean warming on nutrient and carbon acquisition of marine plankton
In the evolution of complex life, the uptake of and development of the primary endosymbiotic plastid by the ancestral heterotroph represents a singularity i.e. Read more
River methane leaks: novel methods to quantify and fingerprint river methane emissions
Methane (CH. 4. ) is a potent greenhouse gas whose concentration is increasing in the atmosphere. Aquatic systems are known to be important sources of CH. Read more
Retreating glaciers and carbon-cycle feedbacks
Ongoing climate change is causing profound change to the cryosphere. In particular, rising temperatures and changing ice-melt and precipitation patterns drive glacier retreat, exposing new land surfaces to the atmosphere and changing the pathways and residence times of water beneath glacial systems (Moon et al., 2018).
