BEYOND ELASTICITY - How inelastic properties of crustal rocks control the propagation of dykes and sills in volcanic plumbing systems

Å forstå dynamikken til vulkanenes røtter er av avgjørende betydning for å forutsi vulkanutbrudd, vurdere vulkanske farer og lete etter naturressurser (geotermisk, malmforekomster, hydrokarboner) assosiert med aktive og eldgamle vulkaner. Hovedkanalene som transporterer magma i vulkanske rørsyste...

Tracking geophysical and geodetic signals of magma-structure coupling using analog and numerical modelling

The aim of this project is to establish a novel collaboration in order to reconcile several research approaches in volcanology, namely geophysics in active volcanoes, and field geology in exhumed extinct volcanoes and physical modelling of magma emplacement. Dykes are the most fundamental magma p...

Structure and emplacement mechanisms of the large sill complexes of central Isfjorden

The aim of the proposed project is to initiate a new research project and collaboration in order to use Svalbard geology as world-class case study for studying the complex processes of magma emplacement in the Earth’s crust. The principle of magma emplacement processes seems quite straightforward...

MIMES: Mechanical Implications of Magma Emplacement on Sedimentary sequences

Volcanism is often considered as destructive for hydrocarbon systems: the tremendous heat provided by magma is expected to burn the hydrocarbons contained in rock formations. Nevertheless, recent studies and discoveries demonstrate that this assumption is too simplistic, if not wrong. Good exampl...

Dynamics of Igneous Plumbing Systems in Sedimentary Basins

Alle kjenner til vulkanske utbrudd, men hvilke mekanismer som fører magmaen fra dypt nede i jordas indre og opp til overflaten derimot er ikke kjent. I flere tiår har én teori hovedsakelig vært den dominerende og bredt aksepterte, blant vulkanologer. Denne teorien tar utgangspunkt i at magmaen be...

Multi-scale deformation around magmatic intrusions in sedimentary basins

The goal of the proposed project is to address the mechanics of multi-scale deformation as a result of magmatic intrusions, and particularly sills, in sedimentary basins. Such deformation have implications at: (1) large scale, as sills lift up their overb urden, forming dome structures that can a...
