The UK has come a long way in decarbonising electricity. With the closure of the country’s last coal-fired power station, we’ve entered a new era of cleaner energy. Yet, one major challenge remains: how we heat our homes and buildings. Right now, heating is responsible for around 25% of UK carbon emissions, and only 6%...

Our monthly spotlight on the work and lives of the next generation of researchers passionate about the energy transition. Life before Leeds Before joining Geosolutions Leeds as a Postgraduate Researcher, Joe completed a Master’s degree in GeoEnergy at the University of Edinburgh, where he published his first paper on numerical modelling of deep geothermal systems....
In this interview, we speak with Dr Mark Cooper, the Chief Geologist at the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland (GSNI). With a career spanning across industry, applied research and teaching, Dr Cooper has played a key role in advancing geological understanding across Northern Ireland and driving the energy transition. He is currently working with Prof...
The way we produce and consume food has a significant impact on the environment. Food systems are responsible for up to 30% of all human-related greenhouse gas emissions, with the majority originating from agricultural production. This makes them a significant driver of climate change. At the same time, most of the world’s traditional farming...
What if fibre optic cables could do more than deliver our high-speed internet? What if they could also help us listen to the Earth, capturing the subtle seismic whispers and temperature shifts happening deep beneath our feet? That’s the idea behind fibre optic distributed sensing - a technology that turns standard optic cables into a...
Our monthly spotlight on the work and lives of the next generation of researchers passionate about the energy transition. Time in Leeds Ravi joined the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds in 2021 to pursue a degree in geophysics. In 2023, he spent a year at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore...
Our monthly spotlight on the work and lives of the next generation of researchers passionate about the energy transition. Life before Leeds Prior to starting his Master's by Research, Sam completed his BSc in Geology at Keele University in 2024, where he conducted his independent mapping project, researching carbonates in the Isle of Man. I fell...
The promising results support the University’s plans to develop low-carbon heating and cooling systems on campus, moving us further towards our Net Zero targets.
