Our study targeted the questions surrounding the form and rapidity of the first hominid dispersal from Africa, that of Homo erectus. Arrival dates of Homo erectus in Europe and...

Compilation of information gathered by Dr Richard Rumbold for Kingsbridge area of Devon. Collected for revision of geological sheets 355 and 356.

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. A complete picture of the processes occurring on seismically active faults is the essential prerequisite for the reliable assessment and...

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. Multi anvil presses (MAPS) are used worldwide for high p/t work. The 'Walker cell' has made maps more accessible for earth sciences research. A...

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. Spherical and rod-shaped structures of bacterial dimensions found on coalified Upper Silurian and Lower Devonian mesofossils including spores,...

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. This proposal seeks to test the hypothesis that a mantle hotspot was responsible for generating boninite magmas in the Izu - Bonin - Mariana...

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. The nature of ice-sheet flow between Ridge B and the Vostok sub-ice lake will be determined from a series of measurements and numerical models....

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. The research will experimentally test the ice-segregation model of rock fracture in the context of near-surface bedrock. Experiments at the Caen...

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. This project will investigate the dynamical consequences of strongly non-linear and coupled property changes that occur when magmas erupt from an...

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. Olivine, the major component of the Earth's upper mantle, is known to contain water in the form of H defects. These defects have a significant...

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. Opportunities to sample relatively undisturbed deep subsurface microbial communities rarely arise. This outline for an Urgency proposal relates...

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. Vegetation plays an important role in landscapes that are shaped by wind-driven (aeolian) sand transport, such as coastal dunes and semi-arid...
