When did Earth change from a water world into a planet with continents rising above sea level? Together with researchers from The Netherlands and Germany, associate professor Desiree Roerdink from the Department of Earth Science and Centre for Deep Sea Research has found that land appeared very early in Earth’s history – up to one billion years earlier than we previously thought.
A competence building project led by Pedro Ribeiro, a researcher at the Centre for Deep-Sea Research of the University of Bergen, will investigate if deep-sea mining on the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge can take place responsibly, avoiding serious harm to the environment.
Members of the Center have been onboard the Kronprins Håkon for an expedition to the Aurora vent field under the arctic ice.
