Enabling African Geodata
This talk explains how the IUGS DDE program is working with the Geological Society of Africa and other colleagues and institutions to make data and data tools available
Palaeogeography and Carbon Capture and Storage
Talk for the Global Paleogeography Collaboration Network on 'Paleogeography and Carbon Capture and Storage'. How can palaeogeography researchers contribute to understanding CCS storage capacity in basins?
Combined palynology and C isotopes
Combined palynology, palynofacies and C isotopes on split samples can allow palaeoenvironment determination and correlation at 1000 year and metre-scale resolution, even in the Palaeozoic.
Middle East Upper Palaeozoic
New techniques in palynology and stratigraphy in the Upper Palaeozoic of the Carboniferous and Permian of the Middle East and Levant
Geodiversity in the Permian
For IUGS Geodiversity day. Mine is the middle talk. I discuss some of the key events of the Permian and give a live demonstration of microscope images of palynomorphs that tell some fascinating Permian stories
Couch to net zero
A talk with BGS colleagues on ways that geoscience can get us to net zero - through different sources of energy, through different materials and through looking after the environment better
Shale gas at the LSE
A talk I gave at the London School of Economics on shale gas, following the publication of my book ‘Shale Gas and Fracking: the Science behind the Controversy’
A cartoon
This cartoon was made from a talk I gave at an Intelligence Squared debate. The debate was a lively examination of the challenges involved in the development of shale gas, particularly for the environment.
