Njord is a cross-disciplinary geoscience-physics centre at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. We aim to become one of the main UiO cross-disciplinary ‘drivers’ for the future development of Physical Sciences in general, and Earth and Space related research in particular.
The centre is lead by director Bjørn Jamtveit. It comprises around 70 members from both the Physics Department and the Geo Department. These are mainly from two groups:
- Porelab CoE Oslo - the Oslo-branch of the joint CoE between the UiO and NTNU.
- Physics in Geological Processes (PGP) - former CoE 2003-2013
We believe there is an obvious and considerable potential for increased synergies between physics and geoscience at UiO by merging PGP and PoreLab CoE Oslo onto a joint organizational platform.
