Professor Sandra Chapman (Director, Centre for Fusion Space and Astrophysics) has been awarded the 2024 European Geosciences Union (EGU) Hannes Alfvén medal.

On Friday 20 October, colleagues from across the department were joined by Tom's family to plant a tree in Tom's memory. The magnolia galaxy tree was planted at the new on campus observatory where the department's astronomy students will have opportunities to observe through the new telescope.

A series of videos have been developed to highlight the department's research culture.

Our department commits to a positive research culture and to highlight this Dr Sue Burrows and Dr Reza Kashtiban were granted funding from the University's Research Culture Forum with the idea of developing videos of some of our researchers.
