ISVOLC will study the influence of ongoing glacial retreat on magmatic activity at four volcanic systems in Iceland: Grímsvötn, Bárðarbunga, Katla and Askja.
Petroleum Experts has donated 10 licenses of the MOVE Suite to the Faculty of Earth Sciences, University of Iceland. The value of the Move Suite is 1.87 million UK pounds.
New and improved scientific projections of global glacier loss could provide the catalyst needed for quicker and more decisive action on climate change, saving manyhor glaciers.
Freysteinn Sigmundsson, research scientist at the Institute of Earth Sciences received the nomination of AGU (American Geophysical Union) fellow, yesterday.
Because of the speleological potential in the hot lava field at Fagradalsfjall, right after the eruption ended, a new research project started, aiming to explore and study newly formed lava tubes, as analogue of similar volcanic cavities on other planets.
No significant difference in the composition of the mineral phases in Meradalir between years
Two papers on the Fagradalsfjall eruption published in the newest issue of Nature
This backscatter electron image of a polished section of a sample from the first day of the Meradalir eruption shows plagioclase and olivine crystals in a basaltic melt, which became glassy during rapid cooling.
Guðfinna Aðalgeirsdóttir, Professor at Faculty of Earth Sciences is one of the lead authors of the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
