The Applied Geophysics group focuses on the characterisation of the earth's subsurface at a range of scales using a varied range of geophysical methods that find a diverse range of applications including, but not limited to, oil and gas exploration, approaches to long-term carbon sequestration in subsurface reservoirs, geo-archaeology, seeking novel sources of clean energy (eg geothermal).We are a community of scientists developing geophysical theory and practice for the quantitative investigation of target sub-surfaces. These targets are truly diverse, ranging from understanding the detail of lab-scale samples through to crustal-scale structures that influence basin evolution.Our community comprises a core of academic staff and post-doctoral researchers with a growing cohort of postgraduate researchers. We welcome enquiries from prospective postgraduate rearchers interested in a PhD in applied geophysics.
