The Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard in the high Arctic Ocean is a truly remarkable place. We travelled to Longyearbyen in October 2013 and April 2014 to get samples of volcanic ash layers.

In March 2014, my colleagues and I published a paper in Science. Here are the highlights – and the implications.

This week we all go to Kongsberg, a small town south-east of Oslo. The first academic training in Norway started here in 1757, primarily related to mining, mineralogy, and chemistry. Kongsberg is still famous for the old silver mines and spectacular mineral samples.

Are you going to the EGU meeting and are curious about our research – then come and see us!
