Uncovering Earth’s Secrets: How Mud, Plants, and Fossils Shape Our World

Explore the world of environmental science with our latest video in collaboration with the Natural History Museum and ZSL. Check out some groundbreaking work from London NERC DTP alumni and current students. Discover how even the smallest elements—like ocean sediments, everyday plants, and ancient fossils—provide vital glimpses into our planet’s past and future.

In the video
