How measuring oxygen and carbon isotopes in tiny fossils improves our understanding of past climate.
Charlotte Hipkiss has recently taken up a new position in the National Environmental Isotope Facility at BGS and gives us a little insight into her new position.
BGS is excited to be trialling a six-week placement scheme for students in partnership with the School of Geography, University of Nottingham.
BGS has been working with partners to make the geosciences more accessible to young people, including those from under-represented backgrounds.
PhD student Hamish Duncalf-Youngson recently visited Manipur, India, to assess the effects of aquaculture, environmental change and pollution at this internationally important site.
Some of India’s top scientists visited BGS to explore the UK’s carbon dioxide storage research potential.
The carbon cycle describes the process in which carbon atoms continually travel from the atmosphere into the Earth, then released back into the atmosphere.
Applications range from mineral exploration and waste management, to monitoring active processes within the subsurface, such as the movement of pollutants, or the flow of groundwater in unstable slopes affecting infrastructure.
