Decarbonisation of power production, heat, transport and industry is a major challenge and one that intrinsically involves geoscience.
The causes of earthquakes and the different types of tectonic boundaries and faults on which they usually occur.
Geothermal energy is available across the UK in different geological settings. It can be used to produce thermal (and in some places electrical) energy for a wide range of uses.
This laboratory is used to study chemical reactions between fluids and rocks under conditions found in the top few kilometres of the Earth's crust.
This cluster studies the structural and compositional characterisation of rocks and their constituent parts at all scales.
Research in these laboratories focuses on understanding fluid (water, gas and solutes) movement and rock deformation in the subsurface.
UK Geoenergy Observatories are facilitating a step change in our understanding of geology and our relationship with the underground environment.
