Many congratulations to Trond Torsvik PHAB Univ. of Oslo on the award of the The Geological Society Wollaston medal for 2024! Well-deserved recognition for his many contributions to paleogeography and geodynamics! geolsoc.org.uk/About/awards-g…

*What a great day!* It's π day, a cake competition, Sara Callegaro's 40th birthday, and Király Ágnes and Ozge Ozgurel made it to the final round for an ERC starting grant!!! 🥳🍾🍾🍾💃

Today Trond Torsvik will receive the Wollaston medal of the The Geological Society 🏅🎉🍾 follow along on Zoom via: geolsoc.org.uk/06-Presidents-…

Our highest award, the Wollaston Medal, is awarded to Professor Trond Helge Torsvik, of PHAB Univ. of Oslo. Trond is acclaimed as being the first to quantitatively link seismic structures in the deep mantle with the surface evolution of volcanism in the form of Large Igneous Provinces.

The High Arctic Large Igneous Province erupted for over 50 m.y! Through Numerical Modelling, Björn Heyn from PHAB Univ. of Oslo POLARIS Digital Arctic, reveals that a mantle plume moving under the Arctic Ocean towards Greenland caused this massive volcanic activity. #egu blogs.egu.eu/divisions/gd/2…

Some very exciting talks and discussions this morning by the The Kavli Prize winners David Charbonneau and Sara Seager! 🪐


We have some great news to share! Király Ágnes won an European Research Council (ERC) starting grant! She will be researching how ice sheets and the mantle interact in her project Dynamice 😃
