Investigating Volcanic and Glacial Processes Using Microseismicity
(2019-11-30)Volcanoes and glaciers can both pose a significant threat to life and property. Volcanoes can erupt suddenly, without warning, causing injury, death and damage to property. Glaciers generally present a hazard over longer ... -
Wind and temperature in a glacierised Himalayan valley, and their controlling mechanisms
(2019-11-30)The Hindu-Kush Karakoram Himalaya (HKKH) contains the third largest quantity of snow and ice in the world, after the Polar Regions. Meltwater from this snow and ice feeds many of the major rivers in Asia, which ultimately ... -
‘Organics in ice’: Novel organic compounds in ice cores for use in palaeoclimate reconstruction
(2019-10-26)The majority of current ice core studies focus on analysing the inorganic component of atmospheric aerosol, trapped and preserved in the ice as a record of past atmosphere. However, this does not fully represent the make-up ... -
Understanding how low energy electrons control the variability of the Earth's electron radiation belts
(2019-07-20)The electron radiation belts are regions of geomagnetically trapped electrons, surrounding the Earth, presenting hazards to operational satellites. On the timeframe of hours, both the energy and particle flux of the radiation ...
