Iron oxyhydroxide nanoparticle crystallisation and transformation during radioactive effluent treatment: Application to the Enhanced Actinide Removal Plant
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. The treatment of radioactive effluents is a key process in the decommissioning of nuclear sites in the UK and worldwide. Read more
Computer modelling of extinction, and the impact of environmental stress
How do species respond to stress? What are the patterns of extinction in species, and, and at a larger scale, during mass extinctions? How do ecosystems recover from mass extinctions? These processes play out across a wide range of space and time. Read more
[FSE Bicentenary PhD] Submarine lobe systems in the energy transition
Submarine fan systems are volumetrically the largest sedimentary bodies on Earth. Traditionally, application of research into submarine fan evolution has focused on the distribution of rock properties directly relevant to hydrocarbon extraction. Read more
Quantifying Raindrop-Freezing Fragmentation Using a Cloud Chamber and Numerical Modelling
The formation and development of ice particles in clouds significantly impact precipitation processes, cloud dynamics, and radiative properties. Read more
Quantifying the Impact of Sustainable Aviation Fuel on Ice Crystal Nucleation Using a Cloud Chamber and Numerical Modelling
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is gaining global attention as a critical solution for reducing the environmental impact of aviation. Read more
Macaronesian climate change, early human occupation and erosion
New lake evidence suggests that humans reached the Azores 700 years earlier than historical records show, possibly a result of different wind directions associated with warmer conditions of the early Middle Ages. Read more

Investigating the origin of water in primitive asteroids
One of the vital ingredients that allowed the emergence of life on the Earth is liquid water. Therefore, understanding the origin(s) of water in Solar System bodies is one of the main areas of research in Planetary Sciences. Read more

Investigating the formation of lunar agglutinates
The Moon is covered with a soil-like layer called a regolith. This boundary layer preserves a record both of the Moon’s crust formation and modification history, and of its evolution driven by impacting asteroids and comets. Read more

Investigating how volatiles in primitive chondritic meteorites respond to aqueous and thermal alteration
Volatile elements are vital ingredients that led to the emergence of life on Earth [1]. It is generally assumed that planetary bodies that accreted in the inner solar system, close to the early Sun, formed from dry materials relatively devoid of volatile elements. Read more
Source to sink analysis of the continental margins of Africa and South America: provenance and subsidence/uplift history
Since the establishment of the plate tectonics paradigm, the concept of a ‘passive’ margin, where the margins of a newly formed ocean drift apart with little active tectonic disturbance, has been an integral part of the Earth sciences. Read more
Fluid-rock interaction in the Cretaceous Atlantic rift and influence on rift lake chemistry, diagenesis, and sources of CO2
The connection between tectonic evolution, magmatism, and hydrothermal fluid flow along continental margins is critical to predicting mineralizations, petroleum and geothermal energy systems. Read more
Secondary organic aerosol formation from anthropogenic and biogenic sources
Atmospheric aerosols are one of the greatest threats to human health, and present one of the largest uncertainty in understanding and predicting our climate. Read more
