Services for industry
We offer a wide range of services for the public and private sector. Information on our capabilities can be obtained via our research facilities page or by contacting people listed below. Alternatively make a general enquiry to the School.
The skills of the Earth Systems Research Group are pooled into two knowledge exchange nodes for the benefit of research users:
Hazards and environmental change
We have a world leading capability in determining the frequency and effects of natural hazards (e.g. earthquakes), measuring and mitigating the impact of environmental change (e.g. coastal erosion). Key contacts are listed below:
Terrestrial carbon cycling
- Prof. Susan Waldron
Coastal erosion
- Dr Larissa Naylor
Earth observation, remote sensing and GIS
- Dr David Forrest, Dr Brian Barrett
River transport and erosion
- Dr Rhian Thomas, Dr Richard Williams
Climate change impacts on coastal, marine and terrestrial environments
- Dr Nick Kamenos, Dr Jaime Toney, Dr Larissa Naylor
Green infrastructure, ecological enhancement and ecological restoration of urban rivers and coasts
- Dr Rhian Thomas, Dr Larissa Naylor, Dr Thorsten Balke
Deterioration of building materials in urban and coastal settings
Use of non-destructive sensors to monitor environmental change
Volcanic hazards
Energy
This node exploits our research expertise and facilities for hydrocarbon exploration. Key contacts are listed below:
Crustal fluid flow
Thermal histories of sedimentary basins
- Prof. Rod Brown, Dr Cristina Persano
Unconventional oil and gas reservoirs
Funding for collaboration
The University of Glasgow has several sources of funding that are available to support industry collaboration:
