School of Earth & Environmental Sciences
Earth Sciences at St Andrews dates to the 17th Century, a rich tradition that shapes our vision for the future: to define the cutting edge of Earth, environmental, and planetary science, and deliver unparalleled student education.
Our research is both curiosity driven, addressing profound questions about the co-evolution of Earth and life, and applied, delivering societal and economic impact. It spans recent environmental change to planetary formation, underpinned by state-of-the-art analytical and field capabilities.

Geochemical reconstructions of Southern Ocean pH and temperature over the last glacial cycle
(University of St Andrews, 2020-12-01) - ThesisThe Southern Ocean is widely thought to play an important role in atmospheric CO₂ change over glacial-interglacial cycles. It has been suggested that as the region that ventilates the majority of the world’s carbon-rich ... -
The effect of forest-to-bog restoration on net ecosystem exchange in Flow Country peatlands
(University of St Andrews, 2016-11-30) - ThesisNorthern peatlands play a critical role in the regulation of atmospheric carbon (C) and are estimated to store approximately 550 Gt C, which is around a quarter of the world soil C pool. Saturated conditions means ...
