Alma Dzozlic Bradaric - Earth Model Award Winner 2020 (04.06.2021)

Alma Dzozlic Bradaric completed her master's degree at GEO in 2020. Now she has received the first prize: Earth Model Award Winner from Halliburton for her brilliantly executed master's project.

Melt volume at Atlantic volcanic rifted margins controlled by 2 depth-dependent extension and mantle temperature #1

The key to volcanic margins (03.06.2021)

The effect of increased mantle temperature at wide volcanic margins is likely overestimated. Large volumes of magmatism at volcanic rifted margin can be explained by depth-dependent extension and very moderate excess mantle potential temperature.

Prehistoric megafloods smaller than assumed (14.05.2021)

Mighty floods have carved out deep canyons on Earth. New research suggests this may have required less power than previously thought. Collecting such data, however, may be demanding.

Abrupt warming caused ice collapse and sea level rise (22.04.2020)

Near the end of the last ice age, the global sea level rose 12鈥�14 meters in less than 350 years. Most of the meltwater has been thought to have come from North America and Antarctica. A new study shows that the ice over coastal Norway and the Barents Sea may have contributed almost as much.

New publication in Nature Geoscience (20.04.2020)

Last month Andreas Beinlich had a publication in Nature Geoscience, and this month we are happy to announce that a new publication from Jebsen Centre researchers is out in Nature Geoscience: Today Jo Brendryen, Bjarte Hannisdal, and Kristian Agas酶ster Haaga published 鈥淓urasian Ice Sheet collapse was a major source of Meltwater Pulse 1A 14,600 years ago鈥�.

Researchers discover cause of rapid sea level change 100.000 years ago (07.11.2019)

The world鈥檚 sea level was at one time ten meters higher than today. Researchers have now discovered where the water came from.聽
