FEATURED:    

A new home for Knowing Earth

We are excited to announce that Knowing Earth has a new home!
​
From August 2025, our new address will be Knowing Earth Limited, Office 1, Wharfebank South, Wharfebank Mills in Otley, West Yorkshire.

This is within a large 19th-century mill complex situated on the banks of the River Wharfe.

Our new space gives us more room to work and a place to collaborate with clients, partners, friends and colleagues.
There's space to spread out physical maps and explore seismic data, run workshops and training sessions, and house our extensive reference library and unique paleoclimate teaching collection. There's also a new podcast studio area, so keep an eye on social media.
 
Welcome to the next chapter for Knowing.Earth 

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.

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.
