Dr Lissenberg, Prof MacLeod and colleagues have demonstrated that crustal accretion beneath a fast-spreading mid-ocean ridge is far more protracted than previously supposed.

Dr. Alan Channing and colleagues have discovered the first known Jurassic hot-spring habitat in the San Agustin geothermal deposits of Patagonia, Argentina.

Dr. Chris Berry and colleagues have provided the first direct evidence that some early forests contained widely divergent groups of plants based on an unearthed fossil forest dating back 385 million years.

Congratulations to Professor John Parkes who has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society for his seminal work in geomicrobiology.
