The movement of the crust helps shape Earth as we know it. But what about the role of the mantle?

New research by University of Oxford Oxford Earth Sciences, ANU Earth Sciences 🌏, Cambridge University seeks to untangle crustal from mantle influences on Earth’s surface.

Congratulations to 4th year undergraduate Alex for his excellent talk on ocean plastics, and massive thanks to DPhil Ari for expertly chairing and hosting our panel discussion! #EarthDay Department of Physics at University of Oxford

Thanks to everyone who came to our #EarthDay event and to our fantastic volunteers for taking the time to share their knowledge! Department of Physics at University of Oxford MPLSOxford

So excited for our Earth Day event in Department of Physics at University of Oxford today! Stalls on ocean plastics, 3D printed globes, palaeoclimate and a lino printing craft activity for visitors to enjoy 🌍 plus talks from two of our research students!

Very pleased to announce a 2-year postdoc opening Oxford Earth Sciences on the geodynamics of mid-ocean ridges, fully funded through my The Royal Society URF project OceanMelt, and explore some new tectonic-magmatic computer models! 🌍🌋💻 Job details: tinyurl.com/5n6w3jec

Behind the scenes on our latest film shoot! 🎥

We spoke to organic farmers and ventured underground Wookey Hole Caves to explore groundwater. Documentary coming this summer!

Starring Claudia Bertoni and Chris Day (@OxUniEarthSci) & crew Rob Key, James Lee-Warner and Charlotte Bird.

Delighted to receive a package of letters from the children at Western Primary School about their recent lessons on earthquakes and volcanoes! Looking forward to reading and sending a reply Oxford Earth Sciences NERC COMET

We are ready for Oxford Earth day with Oxford Earth Sciences, even the little one! Come see us at the Martin Wood Complex!

The evolution of my field notebooks over the last 3 years with Oxford Earth Sciences 🤸‍♀️

In this incredibly exciting study, researchers have recovered a 3.7-billion-year-old record of Earth’s magnetic field, and found that it appears remarkably similar to the field surrounding Earth today 🧲🌍
