About the research school
DEEP is a national initiative and involves all major national institutes educating PhD students within the fields of dynamics and evolution of the earth and planets. we aim to offer efficient training of doctoral students by providing a platform for scientific discussions, fostering networks across Europe, offering specialised courses as well as soft skill training.
Scientific content
The Norwegian Research School for Dynamics and Evolution of Earth and Planets / DEEP gathers researchers and students within geophysics, mineralogy, geochemistry and comparative planetology.
All the activities are focused within the four main DEEP themes:
- Planetary Physics and Global Tectonics: Study of the physics and tectonic processes that govern the properties and evolution of the Earth and other planets.
- Planetary interior: materials, structure and dynamics: Study of heat and mass flow in the core and the mantle. Mineralogy, seismology and Earth structure, melting relations and chemical heterogeneities.
- Solid Earth: composition and evolution: Study of the crust, lithosphere and asthenosphere based on geology and geochemistry, geophysical imaging, and geodynamical modelling.
- Solid Earth – Fluid Earth Interactions: Material recycling across the geospheres, how mantle dynamics, volcanism, plate tectonics influences long-term, global environmental and climatic changes.
Host institution
The Centre for Earth Evolution and Dynamics (CEED), University of Oslo, is host to the research school. CEED combines studies of processes and materials common to the terrestrial planets, convective mantle dynamics and plate tectonics, paleomagnetism, paleogeography and Earth evolution, including events like the formation of Large Igneous Province and their atmospheric and oceanographic consequences, such as related mass extinction.
Funding
The research school – DEEP: Norwegian Research School for Dynamics and Evolution of Earth and Planets is funded by The Research Council of Norway.
