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
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:
