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
Guðfinna Aðalgeirsdóttir, Professor at Faculty of Earth Sciences is one of the lead authors of the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Chemical disequilibrium between crystals and melt in samples from Meradalir
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.
First results of the characterisation of rock samples collected in Meradalir
