Gondwana break-up changed the global continental configuration, leading to the opening of major oceanic gateways, shifts in the climate system and significant impacts on the biosphere, hydrosphere and cryosphere. Although […]
A study of more than 6,000 marine fossils from the Antarctic shows that the mass extinction event that killed the dinosaurs was sudden and just as deadly to life in the polar regions.
GOCE+Antarctica- Dynamic Antarctic Lithosphere uses GOCE satellite gravity gradient data, GPS data and innovative 3D modelling to study the Antarctic lithosphere and its influence on the overlying ice sheets, including the process of glacio-isostatic adjustment (GIA).
Scientists now have a new tool to investigate the deep structure of the least understood continent on Earth
PolarGAP is an ambitious international mission to capture new and critical data about the Earth’s global gravity field.
This paper revised the geological history of the Antarctic Peninsula to show how it developed over the last 500 million years, and used this history to tell us about the […]
The project has focused on exploiting information present in hyperspectral images, with a view to developing mapping tools to aid in the geological investigations.
This project examines Antarctic sea-ice’s role in global climate, using marine sediment and ice core records to reconstruct past sea-ice extent.
This project studies the last Interglacial (129-116 thousand years ago, ka) when CO2 and global temperature were both higher than they were before human industrialisation. By examining Last Interglacial climate, we can gain insights into climate processes and feedbacks close to those expected by the end of the 21st century.
In this NERC-funded project, we are generating Southern Hemisphere Westerlies (SHW) proxy records from each of the three major sectors of the Southern Ocean, focusing on subantarctic islands situated in the core belt of the SHW.
This research focuses on investigating the glacial histories of Arctic ice sheets and ice caps using the marine geological record preserved on continental margins.
During this project essential survey data was collected to help plan future deep ocean drilling expeditions.
