Prof. Mike Bickle

Emeritus Professor

Mike’s research combines field based, petrological and geochemical research projects with physical modelling in order to understand better the important processes which control global evolution. Most of his research has been related to tectonic processes within the solid Earth but most recently he has been working on solid earth-hydrosphere-atmosphere interactions and especially geological carbon storage.
