Friday seminar 24 March 2023 - Timothy Lane

""

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.

lava tubes

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.
