Hot rocks under our feet; seismic reflection imaging of the processes and products of crustal magmatism Volcanoes are hot, loud and scary, thus we know little of their internal structure or underlying 'plumbing systems'. Magma intrusion in the Earth's crust, and …
Underneath the volcano: Trying to understand how igneous sills are emplaced using outcrops and seismic from East Greenland Here I will tell you about our ongoing work to understand sill emplacement, using data from Jameson Land in East Greenland. …

Relative continent/mid-ocean ridge elevation: a reference case for isostasy in geodynamics The choice on crustal and mantle densities in numerical geodynamics model is usually based on common habits. However, lithospheric deformation involving regional or fault-related flexure or involving strong change …
Salt Tectonics in the Santos Basin, Brazil: the effects of translation, base-salt relief and the enigma of the Albian Gap Salt-driven translation over variable base‐salt relief produces three‐dimensionally complex and multiphase deformation. Understanding how pre- and base-salt structures influence salt‐related …
Evolution of rift structures, topography and the sediment supply – A perspective from numerical modelling on the respective importance of tectonic and earth surface processes during continental rifting Lorenz Michel Continental rifting is the response of the continental lithosphere to …
Orogenesis from bottom to top - Investigating the geodynamics of mountain building using coupled thermo-mechanical-surface-process models The objective of this project is to advance our understanding of mountain building processes in different plate tectonic settings and with specific focus on …
Modern Fieldwork during a Pandemic: From outcrops to computers.
Structural framework and the timing of faulting in Western Norway Geometric and temporal constraints on the brittle evolution are important to obtain a comprehensive picture of the post-Caledonian topographic evolution of Western Norway. In this study, we combine remote sensing, …
Zircon Hf-O isotopic fingerprints in accretionary vs. collisional orogenesis Zircon Hf isotopes are able to identify the relative proportion of mantle and crustal inputs to magma systems, and different Hf isotopic patterns can be expected in different tectonic settings. Coupled …
