Edinburgh Earth Resources

The Edinburgh Earth Resources research group studies a wide variety of natural resources from our planet. Our researchers are dedicated to understanding how to utilise these resources responsibly for the benefit of all.

We develop methods and strategies to enable the responsible use of the Earth's resources for the benefit of society. We undertake research focused on limiting the environmental impact of obtaining natural resources and using the subsurface to safely store waste related to their use. Our work spans across multiple fields such as Geology, Geophysics, Ecology, Oceanography, and Meteorology.
