Geochemical Insights into Earth Materials from Quantum Mechanical Computation
The application of predictive and illustrative geochemistry, via ab initio structure cal- culation, is explored. These examples span from applications relevant to understanding geochemical proxies in biogenic carbonates, ... -
Theoretical and computational studies in seismic tomography
Seismic tomography allows us to study the interior structure of the Earth on a range of lengthscales, with the method of waveform inversion being a promising and relatively recent development. In this work, we present new ... -
Reduced-Order Modelling and Observations of Geological Carbon Dioxide Storage
Worldwide carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions targets are unlikely to be met without large scale geological CO2 storage, with much of the storage capacity found in saline aquifers. The key aim of carbon sequestration is the ... -
Diatoms in Antarctic ice cores, a novel proxy for reconstructing past wind variability in the Pacific sector of the Southern Hemisphere Westerly Wind belt
The Southern Hemisphere Westerly Winds play a critical role in the global climate system by modulating the upwelling and the transfer of heat and carbon between the atmosphere and the ocean. Since observations started, the ...
