Highlights

  • A lower Carboniferous (Visean) tetrapod trackway represents the earliest record of an edopoid amphibian from the UK
  • The source of topography across the Cumberland Peninsula, Baffin Island, Arctic Canada: differential exhumation of a North Atlantic rift flank
  • The Herefordshire Lagerstätte: fleshing out Silurian marine life
  • Cenozoic tectonic evolution of southeastern Thailand derived from low-temperature thermochronology
  • Geological Society of London Scientific Statement: what the geological record tells us about our present and future climate
    Geology is the science of how the Earth functions and has evolved and, as such, it can contribute to our understanding of the climate system and how it responds to the addition of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere and oceans.
