They range in size and can be as large as over 75 m high and over 200 m wide, an important threat to unknowing ships. To that end, last month marked a century since the Titanic sank after colliding with an iceberg, killing over 1,500 passenger ...[Read More]

Imaggeo on Mondays: Hurricane season, from above
From space, planet Earth resembles a glassy blue marble, a term that was first used to describe a photograph of the Earth taken by the Apollo 17 crew on their way to the moon in 1972. Aside from providing stunning views of our planet, images of the Earth taken from above can also be used for meteorological observations. This beautiful photograph, taken by the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satel ...[Read More]

Interview: Joel Gill, founding director of Geology for Global Development (GfGD)
Geology for Global Development (GfGD) is a new UK organisation. Its vision is to inspire students and recent graduates in the geosciences to use their knowledge of the Earth to fight poverty and improve lives. Many geoscientists work on issues such as water resources, energy supply, mining, infrastructure, natural hazards and climate change. Their knowledge of this broad range of subjects mean the ...[Read More]
