Carbon capture and storage involves capturing carbon dioxide at emission sources, such as power stations, then transporting and storing it underground.
Seismometers are used to record the seismic waves produced by earthquakes. Relative arrival times of these waves is used to determine earthquake location.
Temperature rises can affect agriculture, sea levels and the frequency of extreme weather incidents. We can study past climate change by looking at the evidence in rocks, fossils and changes in the landscape.
The British Geological Survey University Funding Initiative (BUFI) supports numerous PhD students through funding and/or supervision. Here is a list of ISI publications arising from these collaborations.
Gases in the Earth's atmosphere act as an insulating blanket around the planet, trapping more of the Sun’s heat.
Geological records demonstrate that there have been a number of large variations in Earth’s climate in the past.
