3. North Sea Methane

   Offshore gas fields worldwide are major sources of methane emissions. Developing reliable methods to locate emissions and pinpoint sources is critical for quantifying the volume of methane emissions from gas fields across the world.

11. Bedrock sampling beneath Antarctic ice

    In this project samples of bedrock were analysed to determine how long they have been shielded from the sun, and that could tell us how long ago the ice sheet formed, even if the first ice has long gone.

12. Increases in winds weaken Southern Ocean carbon sink

    A new study of lake sediments from the sub-Antarctic reveals for the first time that increases in westerly winds are likely to reduce the ability of the Southern Ocean to […]
