Upcoming
We’re in the process of organising a DIG workshop for mid 2024. Come back later for further updates.
Publications
Our first paper is out! It focuses on our new methodology for determining the subsurface temperature in Ireland. We were invited to publish some of the results as a prestigious Invited Research Article in the journal Tectonophysics. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tecto.2023.230094 Chambers et al,.
