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


New paper in Royal Society Publishing describing a sauropod dinosaur hindlimb from the Early Cretaceous of the Isle of Wight, UK, led by former EarthSciences UCL masters student, Robert Higgins (now Harvard Organismic & Evolutionary Biology), with NHMdinolab + Paul Upchurch: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/RS…


Article: Laramide flat-slab subduction releases fluids into the overlying crust that mediate water-fluxed melting of precursor lower crust, forming porphyry copper deposits Thomas Lamont Frances Cooper Jamie Wilkinson University of Bristol Earth Sciences EarthSciences UCL London Centre for Ore Deposits and Exploration nature.com/articles/s4156…


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

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 EarthSciences UCL youtube.com/watch?v=o4uUwG…


Bioscience and environmental science at UCL have been given a major boost: funding from Natural Environment Research Council and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research will support PhD students in UCL Biosciences, EarthSciences UCL and UCL Geography, equipping future scientists to meet pressing global challenges ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/nov/…


On Day 4 of #MAPSAdvent2024 we share a popular discovery by the team involving EarthSciences 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…


👉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 EarthSciences UCL 🔗Read more: nature.com/articles/s4324…


PhD project EarthSciences 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 Doctoral Landscape Award. Application deadline = 20th Jan 2025: trees-dla.ac.uk/projects/neuro…


Remember when EarthSciences 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! Stephen Hicks 🇪🇺 #LoveStory

On Day 18 of #MAPSAdvent2024 we're highlighting a popular study led by EarthSciences 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…


New paper led by former UCL undergraduate Carly Pligersdorffer (now School of GeoSciences @ University of Edinburgh) + EarthSciences UCL PhD student Paul M. J. Burke 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 Matthew Fox and Prof Philip Meredith (EarthSciences UCL) using updated knowledge of the #rocks oil was extracted from: ucl.ac.uk/mathematical-p…


"Dinosaurs are well studied but we don't really know where they came from." A new study led by EarthSciences UCL and UCL Mathematical & Physical Sciences 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
