Resources
The group has excellent facilities including:
- Geophysics laboratory & store
- Excellent inventory of geophysical surveying equipment (see below)
- Access to a compute cluster (with GPGPUs) for High-Performance Computing
We are one of the best equipped environmental geophysics research groups in Europe. The majority of our equipment was acquired by a successful bid for SRIF funding from HEFCE in 2003.
