We are so proud to announce that Mathew Domeier was awarded a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant! Congratulations also to fellow department winner Trude Storelvmo! Mat's project – EPIC: Untangling Ediacaran Paleomagnetism to Contextualize Immense Global Change.
The Else-Ragnhild Neumann Award for Women in Geosciences for 2021 er tildelt Louise Mary Vick, førsteamanuensis ved UiT Noregs arktiske universitet.
The Else-Ragnhild Neumann Award for Women in Geosciences for 2021 is awarded to Louise Mary Vick, Associate Professor at UiT The Arctic University of Norway.
Researcher and geologist Grace Shephard from CEED and Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo has been selected to be the Norwegian representative in the Marine Working Group in the International Arctic Science Committee, IASC.
Else-Ragnhild Neumann Award for Women in Geosciences is awarded for the 3rd time, and this year it goes to Dr Ágnes Király, CEED, UiO. The award is given to a PhD or Postdoctoral Fellow who has given a significant contribution to research in geosciences.
The two most recent Norwegian meteorites, “Oslo” and “Valle”, are now officially classified and registered in the international meteoritical database. Only now, the scientific community consider it real although it fall felt for some Oslo citizens real since quite a while.
Friday 22. Nov. was the Else-Ragnhild Neumann Award for Women in Geosciences awarded for the second time. The award goes to a woman who through her Ph.D. or postdoctoral work has made a significant contribution to geoscientific research. The award is presented by CEED and the Dept. of Geosciences, UiO, and it was Andreia Plaza-Faverola, UiT, who became the award winner for 2019.
This past week, 14 international and interdisciplinary early career researchers from all over the world met in the fjord-side town of Drøbak, south of Oslo. The #YoungCEED18 workshop - the first of its kind under the “Young CEED” initiative - aimed for a fresh take on the enigmatic process of how new subduction zones form.
Volcanic activity primarily focuses at plate boundaries on Earth. But volcanoes can also form far away from plate boundaries due to plumes of hot material rising from the Earth’s deep interior. Eventually this material reaches the surface and breaks through the Earth’s crust to form a volcano – a so-called “hotspot”. Scientists now present a theory of how this type of hotspot activity can explain massive, past volcanic eruptions in Greenland and in the North Atlantic region.
European Geosciences Union: EGU recently announced who will receive awards and medals for 2019. Researcher Mathew Domeier at CEED and the Department of Geosciences will be honoured for his contributions. Domeier is awarded the Arne Richter Award for Outstanding Early Career Scientists for 2019.
