Geophysics undergraduate students from the School of Earth and Environment recently contributed to the University of York’s Deep Geothermal Energy Project. Charlotte Hill, James Pagan and Duncan Brown joined Echo Geo Ltd, the survey contractors for York, to assist with the deployment of sensors ahead of seismic imaging beneath the University of York's Campus East. Working alongside peers from...
The immersive art project 'Voices of Coal', in which Prof David Healy and the Geomechanics Laboratory participated, will be showcased at the National Coal Mining Museum for England this week. Developed by the Time Network artist Debbie Harman, the project explores the future after coal while paying homage to the mining past. 'Voices of Coal' seeks to...
Life Before Leeds Olawale began his academic journey at the Federal University of Technology, Akure, where he graduated with First Class Honours in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering. Following his undergraduate studies, Olawale worked as a Process Engineer, gaining valuable industrial experience before pursuing an MSc in Corrosion Control Engineering at The University of Manchester. There,...
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%...
We're excited to share that our Masters by Research scholarship is now open for applications. We’re offering up to three scholarships covering tuition fees for one year of full-time study or two years of part-time study. The funding is open to UK/Home-status students in geology, engineering, and social sciences with an interest in the energy...

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...
