Mapping Deformation: Representing a 4D problem in 2D

We are excited to see that our paper on structural mapping is now available (open access) on the GSL Special Publication website . Our thanks to Rob Butler, Taija Torvela and Lucy Williams for a great meeting back in 2021 and for getting this volume published.

This paper provides more information on our databases and how they can be used in resource exploration across the energy transition.

PIVOT 2023 - Building a Geothermal Resources Map for the World

We are excited to be part of this year's PIVOT meeting on geothermal energy.
 
On September 13 Paul will be part of a panel discussing Project Innerspace's Phase 1 Geothermal Resources map for the World. This will cover a range of databases including heat flow, depth-to-basement, crustal thickness, faulting and folding, igneous activity, and crustal architecture.
When finished, this will be an amazing open resource that will help accelerate the exploration and exploitation of geothermal energy.

PIVOT 2023 extends from Monday, September 4 – Friday, October 6, with an impressive agenda of speakers and topics.

Further information about PIVOT 2023 and how to register (for free!) can be found here: https://www.projectinnerspace.org/pivot2023
Registration will give you access to the full agenda of events and speakers.

2023 Paleogeography Map Legend

The 2023 edition of the Knowing Earth Paleogeography Map Legend for ArcGIS is now available online. This is part of our internal GIS resources which we are making open to students, researchers and the community at large in order to facilitate the development of Earth System science. If you have requests or suggestions please let us know.

Who we are

Meet our team and collaborations and learn about who we are and our plans ​

What we do

See the services we can provide to resource explorationists, educators and policy makers

Our resources

The expertise and resources we are building to underpin our solutions. Designed to be a standard resource for Industry and Academia, including multiclient reports, databases and atlases

​Our insights

Updated with guides to paleogeographic mapping, tectonics and Earth system modeling, as well as views and opinions on the latest issues in new ventures exploration, business and research about the Earth

Why us?

We are a global research and consultancy company focussed on Energy, Environment, and Education.
 
​We are committed to helping people know the Earth better and make the best use of its resources.
 
To achieve this, we combine our broad and deep knowledge, experience and expertise with that of our extensive network to quickly identify the right questions to ask and shape a validated process to find answers.
 
We are building a network of internationally recognized experts who are fascinated by the Earth system and exploring how it works and how our understanding can be applied to solving the Earth’s current and future resource and environmental challenges.
 
We have over 30 years of experience in Academia and Industry working with real-world examples across the globe underpinned by our extensive data- and knowledge-bases and demonstrated through a broad peer-reviewed publication record.
 
Our commercial work includes supporting companies with off-the-shelf reports and by working with their teams to facilitate knowledge transfer, advise on the latest workflows, data management and data analytics techniques and direct consultancy. In addition, we continue to provide support for academic research groups and institutions in the Earth sciences, especially in tectonics, paleogeography and climate change.

Our vision is of a ‘Knowing Earth’,
populated by people seeking
​to understand our world.

​We believe that to solve the world’s current and future energy and resource issues, we first have to know and understand our planet. We dream of a knowing Earth where scientists, specialists and the general public work together to make a difference to how we manage our planet by better knowing the Earth we live on.
​
This means changing attitudes and bringing together people who look at earth’s past and present to work out how to sustain its future. People who love delving into the hidden depths to understand how the earth works. It means education, collaboration, integration. And it means not being afraid to ask for help or even to start by asking the ‘wrong’ questions.
