The expression of storm events in the geological record is poorly understood; therefore, stratigraphic investigations known are needed. 1953 North Sea surge was largest natural disaster for countries bordering southern during twentieth century. We characterize spatial distribution a sand deposit from salt marsh at Holkham, Norfolk (UK). Radionuclide measurements, core scanning X-ray fluorescence (Itrax), and particle size analyses, were used to date characterise deposit. occurs onset...
Reconstructions of palaeo-ice sheet retreat in response to climate warming using offshore archives can provide vital analogues for future ice-sheet behaviour. At the Last Glacial Maximum, Dogger Bank, southern North Sea, was covered by Eurasian Ice Sheet. However, maximum extent and behaviour ice Sea basin is poorly constrained. We reveal ice-marginal dynamics at Bank through sedimentological stratigraphic investigation glacial proglacial lake sediments. use a large, integrated subsurface...
Low carbon energy infrastructure, such as wind and solar farms, are crucial for reducing greenhouse gas emissions limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C. During 2020, 5.2 GW of offshore capacity went into operation worldwide, taking the total operational 32.5 from 162 windfarms, over 200 new is planned by 2030. To meet net-zero targets, growth generation expected, which raises challenges, including integration natural environment wider system, throughout farm lifecycle. This review...
Abstract. Submerged landscapes on continental shelves archive drainage networks formed during periods of sea-level lowstand. The evolution these postglacial also reveals how past climate changes affected the landscape. Ice-marginal and paraglacial low-relief topography are susceptible to reorganisation water supply, forced by ice-marginal rearrangement, precipitation temperature variations, marine inundation. A rare geological climate-driven landscape transition from (ca. 23 ka) a fully...
Abstract Low‐relief coastal landscapes are at major risk of rising sea levels, as vertical changes in relative level have far‐reaching lateral effects. Integration a dense 2D grid seismic reflection data with sedimentological and geotechnical obtained two offshore wind farm zones allows detailed documentation postglacial landforms environmental change over 1,021 km 2 area the western sector southern North Sea. Following retreat Last Glacial Maximum ice sheets from Sea, resulting terrestrial...
One problem with the inversion of transient well test data is that it can yield a non‐unique solution. The uncertainty resulting from this type approach only be resolved by considering information another source such as geology. Geological will help to define interpretation model which ensure correct analysis data. results analyses are little value reservoir characterisation and modelling unless they explained geological point view. This last step what we refer here interpretation. Other...

<p>Coastal landforms such as barriers are crucial in protecting coastlines and reducing the rate of erosion retreat. Sea-level rise threatens to change baseline which exist, therefore changing sediment fluxes hydrodynamics at coastlines. Understanding stability under conditions is protect mitigate against influence future sea-level on coastal infrastructure, ecology populations. By studying past periods with rates similar those projected for future, we can begin understand how...
<p>To understand the advance and retreat of British Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS), geomorphic features have been extensively characterised onshore. The extent these in Sea has poorly constrained, even though Stream (ISIS) was largest drainage system BIIS had a strong impact shaping present-day seafloor. Previous studies highlighted occurrence till surfaces, glacio-marine transitional stratigraphic units to marine environments. Constraining extension characterising associated is...
