Through manufacturing, and geophysically characterising the properties and distribution of a range of synthetic gas hydrate morphologies in a range of sediments in the...

The freshest available Archaean (3.5 and 2.7 ga) and young komatiites, including very fresh Belingwe olivine with melt inclusions and newly collected Barberton rock with fresh...

The Amazon Cone is a deep-sea fan system that developed on a continental margin, North East Brazil and French Guiana, approximately 90-100 Myr following a rifting event....

Our study targeted the questions surrounding the form and rapidity of the first hominid dispersal from Africa, that of Homo erectus. Arrival dates of Homo erectus in Europe and...

Compilation of information gathered by Dr Richard Rumbold for Kingsbridge area of Devon. Collected for revision of geological sheets 355 and 356. Passed to BGS by his estate

A complete picture of the processes occurring on seismically active faults is the essential prerequisite for the reliable assessment and mitigation of earthquake hazards. But...

Multi anvil presses (MAPS) are used worldwide for high p/t work. The 'Walker cell' has made maps more accessible for earth sciences research. A Walker cell is installed at...

Spherical and rod-shaped structures of bacterial dimensions found on coalified Upper Silurian and Lower Devonian mesofossils including spores, cuticles and coprolites will be...

This proposal seeks to test the hypothesis that a mantle hotspot was responsible for generating boninite magmas in the Izu - Bonin - Mariana (IBM) arc during the middle Eocene....

The nature of ice-sheet flow between Ridge B and the Vostok sub-ice lake will be determined from a series of measurements and numerical models. Datasets available foe...

The research will experimentally test the ice-segregation model of rock fracture in the context of near-surface bedrock. Experiments at the Caen Cold Laboratories will monitor...

Olivine, the major component of the Earth's upper mantle, is known to contain water in the form of H defects. These defects have a significant effect on the physical and...

Opportunities to sample relatively undisturbed deep subsurface microbial communities rarely arise. This outline for an Urgency proposal relates to one such rare opportunity to...

Vegetation plays an important role in landscapes that are shaped by wind-driven (aeolian) sand transport, such as coastal dunes and semi-arid regions. We have a good knowledge...

This proposal builds on an earlier feasibility study which successfully developed a model system for exposing plants to realistic measures of urban pollutants. The present study...

The processes by which frost shatters rock are subject to controversy. The main objective of the proposed research is to develop a new methodology for experimentally testing a...

Numerical models (sleep, 1996,1997) of mantle plumes that consider variations in lithospheric thicknesss suggest that deep cratonic roots influence the flow of hot, bouyant...

A pilot study in the Taf estuary, South Wales (Carman et al., in press) has demonstrated the potential of Testate amoebae analyses in reconstructing high-resolution Holocene...

The overall aim is to establish the timing and rate of thinning of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) from its maximum extent in an area inland of the Weddell Sea embayment....
