Research Areas

Climate

We use remote sensing observations, modelling and experimental studies in in situ and in laboratories, to advance knowledge relating to Earth's climate; past present and future.

Sustainable Resources

Earth Resources underpin society, particularly providing sustainable and secure supplies of resources needed for the energy transition.

Natural Hazards

Our research focuses on understanding the mechanisms that underpin natural and environmental hazards, including the monitoring and forecasting of hazardous events, and enhancing community preparedness through early warning, risk communication, and improved hazard perception.

Crustal Processes

We study how the mechanical, physical and transport properties of Earth’s crust determine its response to tectonic forces and the transfer of matter and energy from and to other elements of the Earth system

Deep Earth and Planets

We seek to understand large scale features and processes underpinning the evolution of Earth and other planets over their geological history. 

Life and Environments

We aim to understand the past climatic, environmental, and biotic changes in the oceans and on the land, and the implications for future changes in the Earth system.
