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

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
