At the "Let’s Talk About Energy" spring seminar on March 19th, Torsten Hundebøl Hansen, a postdoctoral researcher from the Department of Geosciences, was one of the presenters. His talk focused on the safe storage of CO2 at Norway's offshore sites.
Mudflow structures on the Martian surface show a large variety of shapes and unusually long pathways. The red planet's extremely low atmospheric pressure can make the liquid water in the mud unstable, but salinity also plays a role in the mud's formation and flow, according to a new study in Nature Communications.
An underwater mud volcano was discovered in the Barents Sea in 2023. A revisit in 2024 and studies of data reveal that this mud volcano is an important habitat for endangered species and seafloor life.
The new VISTA Centre – VICCO, was opened at the Department of Geosciences, early in December 2024. The centre will explore the potential for large-scale permanent CO2 storage in rocks.
Ingrid Anell fra Institutt for geofag viste frem et innovativt brettspill basert på den geologiske tidsskalaen på årets Naturfagkonferanse. Spillet gjør geologi til et morsomt og engasjerende fag for alle aldre. Spillet vakte interesse på årets konferanse i Oslo.
Utstillingen 'bergArt' på Naturhistorisk museum viser hvordan syv nyutdannede masterstudenter fra Institutt for geofag, UiO formidler sine masterprosjekter på en ny måte! I utstillingen som står ut året, møtes vitenskap og kunst!
An interdisciplinary research team from the MN-faculty, UiO has been granted support to establish a research centre to explore the potential for safe and permanent large-scale CO2 storage in rocks. The centre is led by Henrik H. Svensen from Dept. of Geosciences.
One of the largest European Geosciences conferences, EAGE was hosted by Norway after a long hiatus of 20 years. Geoscientists from Dept. of Geosciences, University of Oslo were strongly represented at the conference.
Senior engineer Kristian Backer-Owe has served the geochemistry community at the Department of Geosciences for a long time. There was a celebration of his 35 years at GEO and a farewell gathering for Kristian on one of his last days in the office.
Åtte nye forskningssentre, der tre har UiO-tilknytning, mottar millioner fra Forskningsrådet for å løse utfordringer knyttet til energi og klima.
