"Dinosaurs are well studied but we don't really know where they came from."

A new study led by @ES_UCL and @uclmaps suggests the remains of the earliest dinosaurs may lie undiscovered in the Amazon and other equatorial regions of South America and Africa.https://t.co/FwEkdHz4u2

New paper led by former @ucl undergraduate @palaeocarly (now @GeosciencesEd) + @ES_UCL PhD student @palaeoburke on the internal cranial anatomy of the Paleogene crocodylian Argochampsa, with an evaluation of salinity tolerance in extinct crocodyliforms https://t.co/FsdqxLus4s

More than 100 small #earthquakes in #Surrey might have been triggered by #oil extraction from a nearby well, finds a new study by Dr Matthew Fox @apatite4life and Prof Philip Meredith (@ES_UCL) using updated knowledge of the #rocks oil was extracted from: https://t.co/OVwFNI3wch

On Day 18 of #MAPSAdvent2024 we're highlighting a popular study led by @ES_UCL researchers, which confirmed #Scottish and #Irish #rocks as rare record of ‘#snowball #Earth’, a crucial moment in planetary #history when the globe was covered in #ice: https://t.co/gxRrnfiIIU

[UCL Mathematical & Physical Sciences @uclmaps]

Remember when @ES_UCL geophysicists installed #seismometers around #WembleyPark for #TaylorSwift’s Eras concerts and found that the opening night performance of ‘Love Story’ produced the strongest ground tremors? Highlight of Day 8 of #MAPSAdvent2024!

PhD project @ES_UCL supervised by me on the evolution and biogeography of alligatoroid crocodylians, utilising CT scan data to evaluate internal cranial anatomy, as part of the @NERC_TREES_DLA. Application deadline = 20th Jan 2025: https://t.co/gajOumlJDS

On Day 4 of #MAPSAdvent2024 we share a popular discovery by the team involving @ES_UCL scinetists: #MountEverest grew by about 15 to 50 metres over the last 89,000 years, since the nearby Arun river merged with the adjacent Kosi river network. Read more: https://t.co/5aQgawXNTM

[Frances Cooper @geo_frances]

Really excited to see our #openaccess paper out today! Great work led by @LamontsterTN1 suggesting Laramide porphyry #copper deposits in the western USA resulted from water-fluxed crustal melting during flat-slab subduction. Huge thanks to @bhp & @isotopesUK for funding! 🌟🌵🌎🇺🇲

[Phil Mannion @pdmannion]

New paper in @RSocPublishing describing a sauropod dinosaur hindlimb from the Early Cretaceous of the Isle of Wight, UK, led by former @ES_UCL masters student, Robert Higgins (now @HarvardOEB), with @NHMdinolab + Paul Upchurch: https://t.co/UmAGjlDX9T
