We totally agree! Seismology is a powerful tool with global and planetary importance. A great reminder of how essential Earth sciences are for understanding both natural and human-made events beneath the surface and beyond 🌍🌋 University of Leicester

Fascinating work! Desert rivers may seem inactive, but they hold vital clues about landscape change and climate. Understanding them is key to how our planet works. Great to see Earth sciences leading the way! More on Emily’s research 👉 le.ac.uk/people/emily-g… University of Leicester

Desert rivers can go a long time between flow events, that makes them very hard to monitor. Future 50 PhD student Emily Gillings is planning to address many questions on this using new methods for tracing sediments within desert river catchments. University of Leicester Leicester Geography

The same forces that shape volcanoes also form the copper deposits we rely on for clean energy. George is a recent PhD graduate who investigates the processes behind both, uncovering new mineral fingerprints that can guide us to the next generation of critical copper resources.
