Mantle forcing of Earth surface evolution in Europe and the Mediterranean: From Past to Present

Surface deformation, in particular topography evolution, results from a complex coupled dynamic system in which mantle processes (e.g. global mantle currents, plate subduction and collision) interact with surface processes (e.g. erosion, sedimentation, se a-level change, or (de)glaciation). The i...

Spatial and temporal coupling between tectonics and surface processes during lithosphere inversion of the Pyrenean-Cantabrian mountain belt

While there is significant progress in understanding first order controls on styles of rifting and passive margin formation, still relatively little is known about factors that control the structural style of inversion of these structures. Especially the importance of structural weaknesses forme...

Timescales of sediment dynamics, climate and topographic change in mountain landscapes (SedyMONT) - Erdalen and Bødalen site project

The focus of this Norwegian Individual Project (IP 5) within SedyMONT is on the Erdalen and Bødalen catchments (tributary streams) in Nordfjord, western Norway. Both valleys provide, based on the ongoing research in both catchments, excellent opportunitie s to integrate existing and detailed quan...

TopoScandiaDeep; The Scandinavian Mountains: deep processes

Mountains form mostly at convergent or strike-slip margins and are not expected to form in intraplate settings. Uplift occurred however in various places around the North Atlantic after continental breakup, leading in particular to the Northern and Southe rn Scandinavian mountains. The aim of the...

Ultra-slow spreading and hydrogen-based deep biosphere: A site survey proposal for zero-age drilling of the Knipovich Ridge

We propose to study geodynamic and hydrothermal processes along one of the most slow-spreading segments of the global ridge system. This will lay the ground for a European lead proposal to the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) aimed to test hypothe sis on the geodynamics and the extent and...

The role of mantle-crust interaction in the early phases of passive margin development: the case of the Vøring Plateau, NE Atlantic

The project will resample and reinvestigate drill cores Ocean Drilling Program Hole 642E, from the Outer Vøring Plateau, NE Atlantic. These cores keep a record of magmatic events dating back to the early rifting phases of the NE Atlantic Ocean. The bottom section of the hole is made up of a `Low...

Lithospheric memory and tectonic (re)activation of volcanic rifted margins and their borderlands

The prime scientific objectives of this EUROMARGINS project are to advance understanding of: 1) processes and events during the formation of a volcanic margin, i.e. from onset of rifting to onset of "normal" sea floor spreading; 2) the processes controlli ng post-breakup history of a volcanic mar...
