📸 Sedimentology 101! Led by Prof Sanjeev Gupta, the second year Geology and Earth & Planetary students simulated turbidity currents (underwater sediment avalanches) in a flume tank during their practical session last week, to understand their sediment transport processes! 👷‍♂️⚒️

Update from the ice! Our two Co-Chief Scientists, and half of the science team, are at Scott Base, prepped and ready to deploy to our deep-field camp 860km away at KIS3. Co-Chief @vandeflierdt (Imperial Earth Science & Engineering, Imperial College London) shares our first Expedition Update.

🎙️Dr Rebecca Bell was featured on 'Get it in 10', a #Geography podcast for A-level students. 🎧Tune in to hear her discuss rifting – a geological process where the Earth's lithosphere is pulled apart due to tectonic forces – and the landforms it creates👇 open.spotify.com/episode/7Avd3q…

Great turn out for our 3rd annual Christmas Lecture last night! Prof Sanjeev Gupta from Imperial Earth Science & Engineering enthused and inspired this audience with the latest findings from the @nasa NASAPersevere and Curiosity Rover rover missions #ThinkGeology AGSB Head Master

🚨Excited to share our preprint from my PhD at Imperial Earth Science & Engineering In this work with Dr Joel Davis, we analyse accretion surfaces (curvilinear deposits) on Jezero Western Fan, offering an orbitally-derived characterisation of the unit sampled by NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover doi.org/10.22541/essoa…

📣❄️Exciting news from the SWAIS2C team in Antarctica, co-led by our Head of Department, Prof @vandeflierdt. Earlier today, the team successfully drilled through more than 580m of ice to reach the ocean cavity!👇

We've wrapped up another successful term!🎁 The whole of ESE - including our Head of Department, Prof @vandeflierdt, who is currently in Antarctica leading the SWAIS2C project - wish you happy holidays!✨

📢The discovery of two rare 430-million-year-old fossils – nicknamed Punk and Emo – is challenging our understanding of ancient molluscs. A new study published in nature suggests they may not have been as basic and primitive as previously thought👇 imperial.ac.uk/news/259554/pu…

🪐🧐Why is Mars Sample Return (MSR) crucial in the search for extraterrestrial life? A new study from ESE's Prof. Mark Sephton discusses how MSR could revolutionise our understanding of Mars’ geology and potential to have preserved signs of ancient life! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

📣 Workshop announcement - Journey to Equitable Planning 🌍 Tomorrow (Thurs 6th February), the Journey to Equitable Planning workshop is being held in the Royal School of Mines from 2 - 6pm! For more information including the workshop agenda, click here: ai4urban.github.io/blog/2025/hp2-…

🌔 ☄️ Grand Canyons on the Moon! A new study involving researchers from ESE found that a giant impact into the Moon’s South Pole carved two giant valleys, each the size of Earth’s Grand Canyon, in just a few minutes! 📝 Read the paper here: nature.com/articles/s4146…

👏 Congratulations to ESE's Prof. Jenny Collier, who has been awarded the 2025 Murchison Medal by The Geological Society - one of their most prestigious awards and which recognises significant contribution to hard rock studies. Congratulations on this fantastic accolade, Jenny!

📸 Last week our 3rd and 4th year undergraduate students headed on the Applied Geomorphology field trip to southern Wales, to explore its post-glacial landscape evolution. They studyied the effects of landslides, glacier and river dynamics, and human impacts on natural resources!

📸 This month, the 3rd year undergraduates celebrated completing their projects with a series of talks and a poster session! Topics ranged from selecting landing sites on Mars, to geologic mapping and geophysical studies of plate margins. Congratulations to all involved! 👏

🌏 Why was the recent 7.7-magnitude earthquake that occurred in Myanmar also felt 100s of miles away in China and Thailand? 💬ESE's Dr Rebecca Bell provided expert comment on this question for BBC News (UK) and Hindustan Times ⤵️ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… hindustantimes.com/world-news/why…

📸 Last week, our 2nd year students returned from a field trip to northern Spain! They investigated the structural evolution of a regional-scale fold-and-thrust belt in the northern Pyrenees, and developed their skills in sedimentology and structural geology!

🌐 Imperial College London will soon launch a new Global hub in Bengaluru with ESE's Professor Sanjeev Gupta as its co-director! 🤝#ImperialGlobal India will strengthen scientific, education & innovation partnerships between India & the UK. It launches in May! imperial.ac.uk/news/262915/im…

⛰️ ESE researchers have developed a data science model that could help to identify locations that are at risk of giant #earthquakes – and potentially in places where none have occurred in the last 100 years! imperial.ac.uk/news/263696/da…

Could there have been life on Mars? Journey to the surface of Mars with Imperial Earth Science & Engineering's Prof Sanjeev Gupta in our Imperial DSI Data Observatory on this weeks episode of BBC The Sky at Night The Sky at Night: ow.ly/UJL450VREOv
