New study challenges recent signs of active volcanoes on Venus 🌋
A new study involving ESE has found that radar brightness changes once linked to fresh lava flows at Sif Mons & Niobe Planitia on Venus may just be viewing angle differences, not eruptions

🗣️ ESE's Prof Chris Pain will be giving a presentation on how AI tools can benefit physics-based modelling, as part of @nvidia's GPU Technology Conference, tomorrow at 10am (GMT), followed by a live Q&A.

A new world record! 🏆
❄️ A record-breaking Antarctic sediment core has been extracted by researchers at Imperial's Department of Earth Science and Engineering as part of a global collaboration.
🔨 The 228 metres of ancient rock and mud was drilled from under more than half a kilometre of ice, then extracted from the sea floor.
🌍 The sediment core holds an archive of past environmental conditions from warmer periods in Earth’s history.
🌡️ This can be vital information for climate scientists to determine how much and how fast the ice sheet will melt in the future under our warming climate.
📈 The core, retrieved by the Sensitivity of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to 2°C (SWAIS2C) project, will now be further analysed by experts.

❄️Researchers at ESE @imperialcollege co-led this game-changing project that has recovered a 228-m-long sediment core from Antarctica! #SWAIS2C
🌊 An international team co-led by ESE at @imperialcollege has obtained the longest ever core of ancient mud and rock from beneath the Antarctic ice – a multimillion-year record that will help predict critical sea level rise in our rapidly warming world!

🏖️A ESE study reveals evidence that Mars had an ancient beach.
Analysis from @NASA's Perseverance identified what appears to be an ancient Martian beachline in Jezero crater, making it more Earth-like (and potentially habitable) than we imagined.

❄️ESE-led research is rewriting the history of Antarctica's ancient landscape & revealing insights about the stability of its ice sheets in a warming world.
🧊This comes as the international @SWAIS2C project (involving Imperial scientists) gets underway!

☁️A new report led by @imperialcollege has found that 383+ million tonnes of CO₂ have been successfully captured & stored underground worldwide, removing this greenhouse gas from the atmosphere.
📦#CarbonCaptureandStorage will be vital to reach #NetZero

🔋 Research by ESE & @ImperialDyson has found that waste mine tailings (the fine waste material left over from mineral extraction) can be repurposed for #LithiumIonBatteries, with little to no processing required, to improve battery production!
imperial.ac.uk/news/269113/m…
💬 ESE lead researcher, Dr @PBritoParada, said: “Through this innovative use of mine tailings as battery materials, we’re directly addressing a critical challenge in the green energy transition: the security of our battery material supply chains.”
