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). Read more

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

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

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

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). Read more

Regional impacts of supraglacial lake drainage on ice-flow dynamics

Mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet is accelerating, partly due to increases in the rate at which ice flows out to the ocean. Ongoing increases in the magnitude and spatial extent of surface melting play a complex role in this process. Read more

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

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

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
