Impact of microbial activity in potential mudstone host rocks for radio-active waste disposal
Enhanced carbon sequestration through application of crushed rock aggregates in agricultural soil management
Impacts of ocean acidification on coastal erosion and sedimentation
Sea level change, climate and Milankovitch cyclicity in Upper Carboniferous successions of the Pennines
Searching for deep, hidden green energy sources by modelling plate tectonic motion and microcontinent formation using gravity data and machine learning
Simulating tectonic plate motion along oceanic mega-transform faults
