Centre for Planetary Habitability. Centre of Excellence (SFF) located at the Uni. Oslo, Norway. Velkommen!
The Centre for Earth Evolution and Dynamics (CEED) is dedicated to research of fundamental importance to the understanding of our planet, that embraces the dynamics of the plates, the origin of large scale volcanism, the evolution of climates and the abrupt demise of life forms. This ambitious venture will hopefully result in a new Earth model that explains how mantle processes interact with plate

Sørøst-Grønland stiger raskere enn resten av øya - Geoforskning.no Ny forskning viser at Grønlands sørøstlige kystområde hever seg raskere enn noe annet sted på øya. Årsaken ligger ikke bare i at isen tynnes, men også i en svekket jordskorpe etter Grønlands passering over en gammel varmesøyle.

New research explains rapid ground uplift in Southeast Greenland - English articles The coastline of Southeast Greenland is uplifting more rapidly than other parts of the island. This is caused by weak rocks beneath this part of Greenland, combined with the melting of the ice sheet, according to researchers.

New paper by PhD candidate Lea Belosa:
Frontiers | Magmatic evolution and architecture of an oceanic intraplate volcano: Vesteris Seamount, Atlantic Ocean Vesteris is a large (33 × 27 km) and young (summit age: 0.65–0.010 Ma) intraplate seamount in the Greenland Sea, formed from ocean island basalt (OIB) magmatism. The volcano is composed of alkali basalt, basanite/tephrite, phonotephrite, mugearite, and benmoreite. Its phenocryst assemblage inclu...

New paper:
Mantle flow in subduction systems and its effects on surface tectonics and magmatism - Nature Reviews Earth & Environment Sinking slabs at subduction zones generate complex patterns of mantle flow that affect global mantle convection, surface deformation and volcanism. This Review explores how dynamic subduction-generated mantle flow evolves and causes surface topographic and volcanic expressions.
