Thousands of years ago the UK was physically joined to the rest of Europe through an area known as Doggerland. However, a marine inundation took place during the mid-holocene, separating the British landmass from the rest of Europe, which is now covered by the North Sea. Scientists from the School of Life Sciences at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV have studied sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) from sediment deposits in the southern North Sea, an area which has not previously been linked to a tsunami that occurred 8150 years ago.

The impact of COVID-19 on working-class women in the UK will be explored by a team of researchers from the University of ÌÇÐÄTV, the University of Nottingham and the Women’s ÌÇÐÄTV Group in a new year-long study funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, part of UKRI.

A three-year study at the Department of Sociology of the University of ÌÇÐÄTV, funded by the Leverhulme Trust, will explore why disabled young people in England experience social and economic disadvantage into adulthood. The fact that adolescent disability is generally associated with poor educational, social and employment outcomes in adulthood has been well-documented but the reasons why this happens are not as well understood. The new study aims to close that gap.

An exploding white dwarf star blasted itself out of its orbit with another star in a ‘partial supernova’ and is now hurtling across our galaxy, according to a new study from the University of ÌÇÐÄTV's Astrophysics Group.It opens up the possibility of many more survivors of supernovae travelling undiscovered through the Milky Way, as well as other types of supernovae occurring in other galaxies that astronomers have never seen before.

The , supported by researchers from the University of ÌÇÐÄTV and The Open University is launched today (Monday 13 July) calling for specific action to tackle the rising social and financial costs of youth violence.

It was announced in May last year (2019) that the University of ÌÇÐÄTV has won the bid to plan, organise and host the 18th International Conference of Women Engineers and Scientists (ICWES18) for September 2020, however due to the current COViD-19 pandemic the event has been pushed back to 2021.

The conference was previously held at ÌÇÐÄTV (ICWES9) in 1991, ICWES18 will now return to ÌÇÐÄTV on 1-4 September 2021.
