We are seeking a Lecturer (Teaching) to act as Deputy Undergraduate Tutor and to assist with delivering our taught programmes (particularly in areas of environmental geoscience and environmental geochemistry). ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/... Deadline: 14.02.2025

@SimonOKing @BBCNews @MarkPoynting Horizon - The Big Chill (2003) An excellent, prophetic documentary explaining evidence about possible disruption to #GulfStream #AMOC, potential impact + #teleconnections Featuring several experts Dr Richard Wood @metoffice, @WHOI, @profbillmaguire @ES_UCL youtu.be/CCUrljERHcA?fe…

"Dinosaurs are well studied but we don't really know where they came from." A new study led by @ES_UCL and @uclmaps suggests the remains of the earliest dinosaurs may lie undiscovered in the Amazon and other equatorial regions of South America and Africa.bit.ly/4jna9DX

New paper led by former @ucl undergraduate @palaeocarly (now @GeosciencesEd) + @ES_UCL PhD student @palaeoburke on the internal cranial anatomy of the Paleogene crocodylian Argochampsa, with an evaluation of salinity tolerance in extinct crocodyliforms doi.org/10.1111/joa.14…

More than 100 small #earthquakes in #Surrey might have been triggered by #oil extraction from a nearby well, finds a new study by Dr Matthew Fox @apatite4life and Prof Philip Meredith (@ES_UCL) using updated knowledge of the #rocks oil was extracted from: ucl.ac.uk/mathematical-p…

On Day 18 of #MAPSAdvent2024 we're highlighting a popular study led by @ES_UCL researchers, which confirmed #Scottish and #Irish #rocks as rare record of ‘#snowball #Earth’, a crucial moment in planetary #history when the globe was covered in #ice: ucl.ac.uk/mathematical-p…

Remember when @ES_UCL geophysicists installed #seismometers around #WembleyPark for #TaylorSwift’s Eras concerts and found that the opening night performance of ‘Love Story’ produced the strongest ground tremors? Highlight of Day 8 of #MAPSAdvent2024! @seismo_steve #LoveStory

PhD project @ES_UCL supervised by me on the evolution and biogeography of alligatoroid crocodylians, utilising CT scan data to evaluate internal cranial anatomy, as part of the @NERC_TREES_DLA. Application deadline = 20th Jan 2025: trees-dla.ac.uk/projects/neuro…

👉Paleoclimatic response was negligible in the Gulf of Mexico despite two or more #extraterrestrial impact events occurring approximately 35.65 million years ago @Bridget_S_Wade @ES_UCL 🔗Read more: nature.com/articles/s4324…

On Day 4 of #MAPSAdvent2024 we share a popular discovery by the team involving @ES_UCL scinetists: #MountEverest grew by about 15 to 50 metres over the last 89,000 years, since the nearby Arun river merged with the adjacent Kosi river network. Read more: ucl.ac.uk/mathematical-p…

We’ve joined Bluesky and looking forward to connecting with you there: bsky.app/profile/es-ucl…

Bioscience and environmental science at UCL have been given a major boost: funding from @NERCscience and @BBSRC will support PhD students in @uclbiosciences, @ES_UCL and @UCLgeography, equipping future scientists to meet pressing global challenges ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/nov/…

Article: Laramide flat-slab subduction releases fluids into the overlying crust that mediate water-fluxed melting of precursor lower crust, forming porphyry copper deposits @lamontsterTN1 @geo_frances @jwilki1212 @UoBEarthScience @ES_UCL @LODE_London nature.com/articles/s4156…

A really nice summary of the sea level equation and how it helps us understand sea level rise by Amy Ariyo as part of my module ocean physics and climate change #GEOL0022 @ES_UCL youtube.com/watch?v=o4uUwG…

We are part of the NERC London DTP and the NERC TARGET Mineral Resources CDT and regularly recruit PhD students - check here for current studentship opportunities. ucl.ac.uk/earth-sciences… Deadline:22nd Jan 2025.

Really excited to see our #openaccess paper out today! Great work led by @LamontsterTN1 suggesting Laramide porphyry #copper deposits in the western USA resulted from water-fluxed crustal melting during flat-slab subduction. Huge thanks to @bhp & @isotopesUK for funding! 🌟🌵🌎🇺🇲

New paper in @RSocPublishing describing a sauropod dinosaur hindlimb from the Early Cretaceous of the Isle of Wight, UK, led by former @ES_UCL masters student, Robert Higgins (now @HarvardOEB), with @NHMdinolab + Paul Upchurch: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/RS…

🦕🌎Excited to see our latest review on dinosaur palaeobiogeography, coauthored with Paul Upchurch (@ES_UCL), published today in Biology Letters (@RSocPublishing). 1/8 🔗 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
