Research Laboratories - Earth Sciences
World-class facilities and expertise is available for elemental and isotopic micro- and macro-analyses of a wide range of geochemical samples. Continuous development of cutting-edge instrumentation and measurement methods, make it possible to analyse small samples with high levels of precision that are not normally available.
The Fault Dynamics Research Group has custom designed analogue modelling laboratories and computer laboratories for our collaborative research programmes.
The facilities are available for commercial analysis, collaborative research, internal projects and training courses.
