Industry & Partnerships
Earth, planets, palaeontology, micropalaeontology, geochemistry, seismology, sedimentology, polar observation and modelling, geodynamics, petrology, volcanism, rock mechanics, mineral physics
The problem-solving approach encourages collaborative research across academic disciplines and in partnerships with number of industries. In addition to the presentation of our results to the scientific community through conferences, meetings and publications, our research is also disseminated in many diverse areas, ranging from geological hazards and climate change, to restoration projects and the investigation of materials for use in fuel cells. Examples include:
Earth’s Polar Ice Masses
New satellite observations and model physics to understand and improve forecasting of the Earth’s polar ice masses.
Sand Dune Morphodynamics
Sand dune morphodynamics that benefit engineering and petroleum companies.
Extreme Weather Services
Extreme weather services to benefit industry and humanitarian relief
Microfossil Stratigraphy
Improved geological models aiding hydrocarbon reservoir development and management.
Landslide Hazard and Risk
An example of impact delivered via a project to assess landslide risk in Hong Kong
Arsenic pollution of groundwater
Improved geological models aiding hydrocarbon reservoir development and management.
Forecasting Volcanic Eruptions
Conventional analyses of the precursory trends for developing deterministic forecasts
