A collection of minerals and mineral descriptions – The Planetary Terrestrial Analogues Library (PTAL) will help scientists understand the surface of Mars. The resource is now ready for ESA's next Mars rover mission (probably postponed until 2028), and is physically located at UiO. The PTAL project is led by Professor Stephanie Werner, who was recently interviewed by sciencenorway.no.
CEED conduct research on fundamental issues for understanding of the Earth; from tectonics, climate, volcanoes, the moon to modeling. Read more about our research and activities in our latest annual report for 2021.
Björn Holger Heyn, Researcher at CEED has been interviewed by forskning.no on LLSVPs and a recent Nature Geoscience article about these structures.
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.
I løpet av de tre månedene La Palma utbruddet vedvarte, strømmet forskere til øya for å observere og lære mer om dynamikken til vulkanutbrudd. Også norske geologer og forskere på vulkaner og geofysikk reiste til Kanariøyene for å studere utbruddet.
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.
Små asteroider treffer Jorda hver dag og brenner opp. Men hva med de virkelig store asteroidene? NASA og ESA skal nå teste ut å endre kursen til en for oss ufarlig asteroide ved hjelp av en kollisjon. Kommentar fra prof. Stephanie Werner, CEED til forskning.no.
En ny forskningsstudie gir innsikt i mineralfordeling og dynamikk i den nederste delen av mantelen i Jordas dype indre.
Myndighetene advarer om et mulig vulkanutbrudd på kanariøya La Palma etter kraftig seismisk aktivitet i den senere tiden. Men det er fortsatt usikkerhet om det vil skje. Intervjukommentar fra prof. em Else Ragnhild Neumann, CEED til VG.
The Mt. Fagradalsfjall on Iceland erupted in March 2021 and the eruption is still active. In June it was organised a webinar where volcanic, tectonic, and seismic experts gave a picture of the eruption. Watch the recorded webinar on YouTube

Differences in heat loss on Earth may have an impact on how the tectonic plates are moving, according to a new study.
Polene byttet plass midlertidig og jordens magnetfelt brøt sammen. Dette kan ha hatt større konsekvenser enn man har tidligere antatt, ifølge en ny studie fra forskere i Australia. Studien er omtalt i forskning.no, og har med intervjukommentarer fra Trond Helge Torsvik.
Congratulations to three recent Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Fellowship awardees and their projects! CEED has two incoming Fellows (TANGO - Leandro Gallo; ICECAP Madeleine Vickers) and one outgoing fellow (BOULDERING - Nils Prieur).
Hvilket av disse Mars-bildene sier mest om hvordan planeten ser ut? Forskere oppfordres til å bli mer bevisste når de fargelegger figurer og bruker fargeskalaer.
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.
