Earth systems
Our earth systems research focuses on a range of natural habitats and features, including volcanic, glacial, fluvial and coastal landscapes, Quaternary environments and geoarchaeology. The use of geoinformatics to detect large-scale patterns in the environment is central to much of our research.
The breadth of research undertaken reflects the wide ranging expertise within the Group. Specific details of our research projects are given below.
- Volcanic Mass Flows of Popocatépetl (Mexico): Timing, Mechanics & Process
- Subglacial Volcanism: Ice & Fire
- Speleogenesis of lava tube caves
- Emplacement of basaltic lava flows
- Glaciotectonics & the evolution of push moraines
- Glaciolacustrine Environments
- Cold-based subglacial deformation
- Structural evolution, debris structure & the landform record of Arctic glaciers
- Glacier Mass Balance
- Nutrient cycling and sediment budgets of the River Adour in southwest France
- Aquifer Recharge of the River Adour floodplain in southwest France
