A well timed, end of winter fieldwork trip to sunny Tenerife to look at some of the best exposures of volcaniclastic deposits anywhere in the world.

A research stay on Svalbard to learn about data acquisition, processing, and interpretation using seismics and ground penetrating radar to image the subsurface, through a course offered by UNIS.

RIMFAX has joint operation between i.a. researchers at UiO and UCLA, and therefore I wanted to spend some months collaborating with the US side of the payload team

This summer, after a year of planning and cancelling travel due to the pandemic, I finally got to visit Svalbard in search of the most valuable thing a young researcher can get: data.

Between 16. and 18. of August, DEEP organized an excursion in Rogaland. The objective of the excursion was to discuss Meso- to Early Neoproterozoic (Sveconorwegian) evolution of the pre-Caledonian basement exposed in SW Norway.

DEEP is recommended for continued funding as a national research school and will run until 15 August 2024.

DEEP will offer three 5 ECTS courses and two workshops: MATLAB and Science communication this Autumn semester. 

DEEP congratulates former DEEP PhD members having finalized and successfully defended their theses spring semester 2020. Good luck!

The Norwegian Research School for Dynamics and Evolution of Earth and Planets (DEEP) aims to educate solid earth and planetary scientists in a holistic way, placing the Earth's structure and evolution in a comparative planetology perspective. To reach these goals, we usually gather our members to attend courses and workshops, as well as through hosting small conferences. This spring we suddenly had to cancel all travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic and we had the opportunity to think about and implement new course delivery ideas.

This summer 15 students participated in our “Arctic tectonics, volcanism and climate” course hosted by UNIS at Svalbard and arranged by NOR-R-AM and DEEP. As part of their assessment the students wrote a blog post in groups. Each Friday, in the five weeks to come, we will post one blog for you to read and enjoy.
