Geological records demonstrate that there have been a number of large variations in Earth’s climate in the past.
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.
Carbon capture and storage involves capturing carbon dioxide at emission sources, such as power stations, then transporting and storing it underground.
A short walk around Holyrood Park provides an insight into the geological history of area from the Carboniferous Period to now.
It may seem unwise to choose to live with such a hazardous neighbour as a volcano. There are a number of reasons why people live alongside volcanoes.
Investigating geothermal energy — energy stored in the form of heat beneath the surface of the solid Earth.
Landslides in the UK, around the world and under the sea.
