21 HOW STANDS GEOSCIENCE? The real potential of geoscience is not recognised Existing base for research and services is low Geoscience attracts only 5% of key R&D funds Manchester has larger geoscience faculty N-S cooperation increasing synergy, efficiency Lean resources encourages multidisciplinary cooperation Geoscience Gaining Ground 21

22 WHITHER GEOSCIENCE? Increased investment requires compelling case Funding is very competitive Public-good geoscience requires Government investment Will support range of policy and regulation ONSHORE OFFSHORE EXAMPLE 3D IRELAND -Shallow groundwater, construction, infrastructure -Deep CCS, clean water, geothermal, deep targets -Shallow fisheries, maritime safety -Deep CCS, petroleum context Geoscience Gaining Ground 22

23 WHITHER GEOSCIENCE? Increased investment will benefit society Leveraging up to 100%, unanticipated outcomes We need stakeholders to make convincing case Geoscience Gaining Ground 23
