Centre for Planetary Habitability

Centre for Planetary Habitability Centre for Planetary Habitability. Centre of Excellence (SFF) located at the Uni. Oslo, Norway. Velkommen!

The Centre for Earth Evolution and Dynamics (CEED) is dedicated to research of fundamental importance to the understanding of our planet, that embraces the dynamics of the plates, the origin of large scale volcanism, the evolution of climates and the abrupt demise of life forms. This ambitious venture will hopefully result in a new Earth model that explains how mantle processes interact with plate

tectonics and trigger massive volcanism and associated environmental and climate changes throughout Earth history. The research activities within CEED are carried out within the following thematic research framework:

* Deep Earth: Large low shear wave velocity provinces and plumes
* Dynamic Earth: Plate motions and Earth history
* Earth Crises: LIPs, mass extinctions and environmental changes
* Earth and Beyond: Comparative planetology
* Earth Modelling: Numerical models of Earth dynamics
* Earth Laboratory: Paleomagnetism and Rock Magnetism

Ny forskning viser at Grønlands sørøstlige kystområde hever seg raskere enn noe annet sted på øya. Årsaken ligger ikke bare i at isen tynnes, men også i en svekket jordskorpe etter Grønlands passering over en gammel varmesøyle.

Jordens gamle kratoner er mer enn bare relikvier – de er tidsmaskiner som hvisker hemmeligheter om forsvunne hav, tapte atmosfærer og livets skjøre begynnelse. De har overlevd milliarder av år og former planetens historie.

New paper by PhD candidate Lea Belosa:

Vesteris is a large (33 × 27 km) and young (summit age: 0.65–0.010 Ma) intraplate seamount in the Greenland Sea, formed from ocean island basalt (OIB) magmatism. The volcano is composed of alkali basalt, basanite/tephrite, phonotephrite, mugearite, and benmoreite. Its phenocryst assemblage inclu...

New paper:

Sinking slabs at subduction zones generate complex patterns of mantle flow that affect global mantle convection, surface deformation and volcanism. This Review explores how dynamic subduction-generated mantle flow evolves and causes surface topographic and volcanic expressions.
