Research group IGV's Geology group
The Geology group studies planet Earth as a dynamic system through integrated applications of geological, geochemical and geophysical methods.
Group description
We study tectonics, geochronology, structural geology, ore geology, magmatism, sedimentology, metamorphism, natural hazards and climate change. More specifically, our research focuses on mountain building and exhumation and how these processes affect and are affected by climate change. Our work on climate change focuses on both past climates as well as the ongoing climate crisis. We study fluid flow in the Earth’s crust and ore forming processes. We are exploring geochemical methods for earthquake forecasting. We research on exotic terranes, especially in the Arctic. We are strongly committed to field-based research, working in Scotland, Iceland, Greece, the European Alps, New Zealand, Oman, Turkey Sweden and the circum-Arctic countries.
