Aktuelle saker
Fabian Barras is a researcher at the interdisciplinary Njord Center at the University of Oslo, where physicists, mathematicians, and geologists collaborate to understand the Earth's physics, conducted this research. He was recently interviewed in Titan the University of Oslo news publication for natural sciences and technology at the University of Oslo.
We are delighted to present you with an engaging lineup of interesting speakers and captivating topics this spring. You will find the program below, and please note that the talk titles will be continuously updated as we progress.
The second seminar on CO2 storage in basalt took place at UiO 29th of November 2023.
Two successful candidates at the Njord Center Joanna Dziadkowiec and Fabian Barras got their projects funded from the The Research Council of Norway.
The Young CAS Grant is a collaborative initiative between CAS, the Young Academy of Norway (AYF) and The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters (DNVA). The programme is designed to empower and support young researchers in their pursuit of project development and network expansion through residential fellowships.
We are thrilled to present you with this semester's Njord Seminar Series agenda featuring captivating speakers and a wide range of intriguing topics. You will find the program below, and please note that the talk titles will be continuously updated as we progress.
This is the first book dedicated to compiling state-of-the-art visualization in porous materials.
The book serves as a reference for teachers, scientists, and engineers working with porous materials. Many of the contributors are affiliated with PoreLab and the Njord Centre.
Two early-career researchers trained at the Njord Centre receive awards from the European Geosciences Union
Research Professor Olivier Galland from Njord was awarded with the Best Keynote presentation on “Magmatism and Petroleum Systems” at the CONEXPLO conference in Argentina.
At Njord, we would like to congratulate Eirik Flekkøy and Alex Hansen who released the book "Physics of Flow in Porous Media". The third author, Jens Feder, passed away in 2019, and was the first director of the centre of excellence Physics of Geological Processes. This book builds on strong competences researchers in Oslo and Trondheim have built on the physics of porous media and that have led to the creation of the centre of excellence PoreLab.
Congratulations to professor Luca Menegon, researcher John Aiken and research professor Olivier Galland who received funding from the FriPro programme of the Research Council of Norway in September 2022.
Friction, Fracture, and the Onset of Geohazards (FricFrac). The Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) at the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters has selected the FricFrac programme led by Njord's professors François Renard and Anders Malthe-Sørenssen and that involves also Thomas Schuler and Luiza Angheluta, professors in the Departments of Geosciences and Physics at UiO.
We at the Njord Center are very proud to congratulate our researcher Jess McBeck for being recognised as an outstanding reviewer for her contributions to peer review at Communications Earth & Environment.
A new Njord project CO2Basalt: Flow and mineral sequestration of carbon dioxide in basalts offshore Norway is set to receive two PhD positions and one Postdoc position starting in 2022. For industries that cannot avoid the production of carbon dioxide as a by-product, capture and geological storage of carbon dioxide is necessary for reaching net zero emissions. The project CO2Basalt will research the geological and physical conditions for mineral trapping and permanent storage of carbon dioxide within basalts of the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
We are excited to announce that three of the new CompSci-positions have been filled by Anthony Val Camposano, Fahimeh Najafi, and Harish Pruthviraj Jain. The three candidates started in October and will be working with Njord during their PhD.
Njord is proud to announce that a new PoreLab/Njord project has been funded by the NFR Researcher Project for Young Talents! The project is called M4 and is a collaboration between PoreLab and the Njord Centre at the University of Oslo, and SINTEF Digital, Mathematics and Cybernetics. The project will study the mixing in multiphase flow through microporous media.
The interdisciplinary project Integrated technologies for tracking organoid morphogenesis (ITOM) has been chosen as one of the new convergence environments funded by UiO:Life Science. The proposal received excellent reviews from the panel and the research group will include Njord professors Luiza Angheluta and Dag Kristian Dysthe.
Njord is proud to announce that a new PoreLab/Njord project has been funded by the NFR Researcher Project for Young Talents! The project is called FlowConn and will study the connectivity enhancement due to thin liquid films in porous media flows.
Scientists from PoreLab, at the Njord Center, and from the French universities of Strasbourg (ITES) and Lyon (LP-ENS), have developed an alternative model for subcritical fracture growth along weak, disordered planes.
We are delighted to cordially invite you to Njord Seminar Series for the fall semester of 2021.
The Norwegian Physics Community awarded Joachim Falck Brodin the Martin Landrø Prize for outstanding work on his master thesis. Joachim is currently a PhD with PoreLab at Njord, continuing on the work he did on his master thesis with PoreLab.
We are delighted to announce that the PoreLab Art Exhibition has finally arrived in the streets of Oslo!
Tom Vincent-Dospital has done remarkable research during his time as a PhD, and this has now been recognized by the University of Strasbourg who have awarded him with the PhD prize for 2020. He delivered his PhD thesis the fall of 2020 as a collaboration between the University of Strasbourg and PoreLab at the University of Oslo.
