This research spotlight shares Dr Esme Glastonbury-Southern’s journey in geoscience. Her love of geophysics led her from studying volcanoes in Iceland to conducting geothermal research in Leeds. Esme’s work is helping to improve our understanding of geothermal systems and is supporting the move toward cleaner, more sustainable energy for the future. First Steps in Geoscience...
Geosolutions Leeds was pleased to co-fund Dr Ru Wang’s attendance at the SEPM International Sedimentary Geosciences Congress (ISGC) 2026, held at the Colorado School of Mines in June. The conference, titled "Defining the critical role and impact of sedimentology in a sustainable future", brought together leading researchers and industry professionals to explore cutting-edge research, innovative...
An interdisciplinary research team from the University of Leeds held a three-day workshop from 3 to 5 June in Redruth, Cornwall. The event brought together community organisations, industry representatives, geologists, academics, educators and creative practitioners. Through a combination of discussion workshops, guest talks and participatory filmmaking activities, participants explored what meaningful engagement looks like in...
In a recent study, researchers at the University of Leeds explored how the UK can unlock its domestic critical minerals sector, identifying the broader foundations needed to support its development. The UK’s Critical Minerals Strategy aims to strengthen domestic production. However, despite strong geological potential and growing industry activity, the study highlights a range of...

Dr Lynn Wray recently joined Geosolutions Leeds as part of the ‘Stories from the Subsurface’ project. She is a practice-based researcher and creative practitioner focused on exploring how collaborative creative methods can be used to understand better and tell stories about complex phenomena, ranging from technological and political processes to environmental and social justice issues. Exploring Complexity Through Creative Practice Dr Wray’s passion for exploring how art can connect us to specific places and...
In a recent study, researchers at the University of Leeds highlight the potential of shared ground loops (SGLs) to decarbonise heating in areas where individual heat pumps or heat networks aren’t feasible. The project has shown that SGLs could work well in low- to medium-density areas and in homes without outside space. SGLs are a heating system...
In this blog, our PhD student, Lydia Brown, shares her path into geoscience, her experience at Leeds and abroad. We also look at how her research in offshore wind is supporting the future of clean energy. Life before Leeds Lydia began her journey in geoscience with an undergraduate degree in Geology and Petroleum Geology from...
From a small town in Michigan to research institutions across Europe, Brandon’s career journey has been driven by a passion for understanding the Earth beneath our feet.
