The Crust to Core research group studies how processes operating on all time and length scales interact to generate the key large-scale features of the Earth through deep time to the present. We study how processes operating on all scales, from the global to the microscopic, and all timespans, from billions of years to fractions of a second, interact to generate Earth's key features. Researchers explore the formation and evolution of the crust - its formation, from ancient remnants to crust still forming today, and how later tectonics, orogeny, and metamorphism have altered it using a wide range of geochemical and geophysical technique. We also study magmatism from its origins in the lower or upper mantle to how its water content affects the dynamics and explosivity of its eventual eruption. Our work also includes the observation, recording and interpretation of data about the natural world using a range of experimental and modelling techniques to simulate and study planetary interiors and characterise the processes by which planets first formed and how they continue to evolve.

These will be links to research case studies that are/will be in the "Featured Research" section. This could be research that members of your group are most proud of, feel like it reflects best on the range of research undertaken, or would be most attractive to prospective research students. ] This article was published on 2025-07-15
