About us
We are a group of researchers with diverse backgrounds and expertise working on topics across the Earth Sciences and Physical Geography. Some example focal areas of our research include:
- Using isotopes to probe natural environments and the subsurface
- Characterising the surface of Earth and other planets using geographical information systems
- Using sediment records to unravel long-term climate change, palaeoenvironments and palaeogeographies
- Advancing the geophysical imaging of subsurface fluids
- Using models to assess the transport and fate of contaminants in the subsurface environment
- Understanding the behaviour and properties of geophysical flows
- Advancing models of volcanic eruptions to improve hazard mapping
- Characterising glacier and ice shelf properties by drilling and logging ice boreholes
- Understanding the physical processes behind coastal change and the associated impact on communities
- Quantifying the environmental impacts of aquatic renewable energy installations on their host waterbodies
We aim for our research to have real-world impact by combining our expertise with those of industry, government organisations, and academic partners. Taking advantage of extensive laboratory, field and computational facilities available within LEC, and linking with national and international partnerships, we deliver world-leading research.
