CEED is dedicated to research of
fundamental importance to the
understanding of our planet, that
embraces the dynamics of the
plates, the origin of large scale
volcanism, the evolution of climates
and the abrupt demise of life forms.
Front cover: In 2014 CEED scientists published
a new model for absolute plate motion that reconstructs continents in longitude in such a way
that large igneous provinces and kimberlites are
positioned above the edges of two stable thermochemical piles (Tuzo and Jason) in the deepest
mantle (Torsvik et al., 2014). We show a 410 Ma
reconstruction where kimberlites (red star) in

Director`s comments
2014 was a very dynamic year for CEED and curiosity-driven research elucidating the
origin of meteorites from other planets and the links between the Earth’s atmospherelithosphere and deep Earth processes was reported in many significant journal articles.
Compared with our start-up year (2013) we increased the number of publications by more
than 50% — but more importantly — CEED published four articles in the prestigious Nature, PNAS and Science magazines. The Science paper — The source crater of martian shergottite meteorites (Werner et al.) — received media attention world-wide, and although meteorites from Mars have been known for several decades, the authors were for the first time
able to identify the exact source crater for shergottites, the largest group of Martian meteorites. The source region (Mojave) was impacted about 3 million years ago by a medium-size
body and ejected rock fragments ended their long space journey at the Earth’s surface a few
thousand years ago.
CEEDs 10-year mission is to develop an
Earth model that explains how mantle processes drive/interact
with plate tectonics,
and trigger massive
volcanism and associated environmental
and climate changes
throughout Earth history. The Earth’s lower
mantle is dominated
by two antipodal large
low shear-wave velocity provinces
(LLSVPs) beneath Africa (Tuzo) and the Pacific (Jason). These
dominate the elevated
regions of the residual
geoid, and a driving
CEED hypothesis is that their margins (plume generation zones, PGZs) are the principal
source regions for many hotspots and most large igneous provinces (LIPs) and kimberlites
(the diamond elevators). We further hypothesise that the Earth has been in a stable degree-2
mode since the Pangea supercontinent formed about 320 million years ago. Stability of Tuzo and Jason before Pangea is difficult to test with plate reconstructions because the paleogeography, the longitudinal positions of continents, and estimates of true polar wander
(rotation of the Earth’s lithosphere and mantle with respect to the spin axis) have been uncertain. However, in 2014 we demonstrated for the first time that a geologically reasonable
model that reconstructs continents in longitude in such a way that LIPs and kimberlites are
7
Director`s comments
positioned above the PGZs at the times of their formation can be successfully defined for
the entire Phanerozoic. Our reconstructions (see front page picture) comply with known
geological and tectonic constraints (opening and closure of oceans, mountain building, and
more), and the model requires that Tuzo and Jason remain nearly stationary. Our methods
pave the only way for building real plate tectonic models for the Paleozoic and perhaps
back to 1.1 billion years ago when the Rodinia supercontinent formed. This is one of the
major goals in the Dynamic Earth group and applications of the CEED plate model will be
important for extending numerical simulations of mantle convection (e.g. Bull et al.) back
to Precambrian times.
In a series of 2014 papers, CEED scientists explored all the aspects of a “Wilson Cycle”
from rifting/passive margin development (e.g., Clark et al., Fossen et al.), crustal subsidence and ocean opening, subduction initiation and ocean closure, and lastly continentcontinent collision (e.g., Corfu et al., Andersen et al.). Continental break-up may be guided
by pre-existing rheological heterogeneities due to repeated weakening of continental margins through previous ‘Wilson Cycles’. In the North Atlantic realm, prolonged postCaledonian extension and sedimentary basin formation exploited lithospheric heterogeneities inherited from a previous ‘Wilson Cycle’, but Early Eocene break-up (about 54 million
years ago) chose locations and directions unrelated to the previous evolution. Final breakup, however, occurred shortly after a massive episode of volcanism and LIP formation as
in many examples world-wide (Buiter & Torsvik, 2013), including the Central Atlantic and
the South Atlantic where peak LIP activity preceded break-up by a few million years. A
news and views article on how plumes can help to break plates was published by Buiter
(Nature).
Long-term climate changes are related to rather slow geological processes such as plate
tectonics (including continent-ocean distribution, mountain building, subduction, topogra-

phy, weathering and more), true polar wander, and dynamic topography. Higher sea-level,
temperatures and atmospheric CO2 are the signatures of Greenhouse climate (warm and humid conditions), which has dominated the climate history for the past 540 million years (see
figure to the left), but our ability to date rocks and the rate of change of geological processes/climate changes in the deep past is severely limited (often millions of years of uncertainty). In 2014, CEED scientists and collaborators explored a whole range of paleoclimate aspects (e.g., Kürschner et al., Sukumaran et al., Xu et al.), including the effects of Pliocene
uplift on cooling in the Arctic-Atlantic gateway (Knies et al.), Antarctic ice sheet and southern hemisphere climate (Justino et al.), plate tectonic controls (subduction) on atmospheric
CO2 levels (van der Meer et al. PNAS), Paleozoic ice sheet initiation (Lowry et al.), and the
role of solid-Earth processes in preconditioning Greenland’s glaciation since the Pliocene
(Steinberger et al.). The solid-Earth processes include deep mantle processes (Iceland plume
providing elevation), plate tectonics (continental drift moving Greenland north), and true
polar wander moving Greenland even further north; this paper led to news articles in both
Nature and Science.
The CEED vision is to develop an Earth model — not only integrating plate tectonics and
mantle dynamics — but also the ancient environmental and climatic evolution. LIP interaction with upper crustal rocks may have huge environmental implications and the resulting contact metamorphic degassing via hydrothermal vent complexes was originally proposed by key CEED scientists (Svensen et al., Nature 2004) as a mechanism for rapid greenhouse gas release. LIPs provide a direct link between plume generating processes in the
deepest mantle and the atmosphere/biosphere, and we are currently exploring the Siberian
Traps, the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province, the Emeishan LIP (South China), Karoo
(South Africa), the North Atlantic Igneous Province (Breivik et al.), Kalkarindjii LIP
(Australia), the Parena-Etendeka LIP in Namibia, and the High Arctic LIP (Senger et al.,
Gaina et al.).

Director`s comments
In addition to the general Centre of Excellence funding from the Research Council Norway
(RCN) we receive funding from the European Research Council [ERC; one Advanced
grant (Torsvik) and one ERC Starting grant (Mazzini)], additional funding from RCN
(including two ERC finalist consolation grants awarded to Svensen and Werner) and the
petroleum industry (Det Norske, VNG, Lundin and ENI). Industry projects include
PressIce (Medvedev), GPlates (Torsvik), coring the Permian-Triassic boundary Svalbard
(Kürschner/Planke), and CHRONOS (Stein & Hannah), which is our largest industry project.
Of domestic news, CEED moved in July to newly renovated quarters (ZEB-building) and
the official opening of the new building was in October 2014. In 2013 CEED was awarded

Director`s comments
funds to establish a new national geomagnetic laboratory: the Ivar Giæver Geomagnetic
Laboratory. This RCN Research Infrastructure is now also operational in the ZEB building
but we are still waiting for delivery of a 2G superconducting magnetometer. Pavel
Doubrovine is heading the laboratory and we have therefore added a sixth thematic group
to CEED (Earth Laboratory). The other groups are Deep Earth (Materials, structure and
dynamics, headed by Reidar Trønnes), Dynamic Earth (Plate motions and Earth history,
Carmen Gaina), Earth Crises (LIPs, mass extinctions and environmental changes, Henrik
Svensen), Earth and Beyond (Comparative Planetology, Stephanie Werner) and Earth
Modelling (Numerical models of Earth dynamics, Abigail Bull-Aller). CEED is truly interdisciplinary and combines geology, physics, mathematics, chemistry, palaeo-climatology,
palaeontology, tectonics, palaeomagnetism, geodynamics, seismology, mineral physics,
planetology, computational and atmospheric sciences. Numerical modeling is a prime tool
for studying models of Earth evolution and dynamics (Chertova et al., Duretz et al., Ghazian & Buiter, Hillebrand et al., Rolf et al., Schmalholz et al., Shephard et al., Thieulot et
al.). Insights into the age and origin of heterogeneities at the core-mantle boundary (Tuzo
and Jason) are obtained by both computational mineral physics (Ab-initio calculations,
Chris Mohn) and high-pressure experimentation. Experimental studies — using laserheated diamond anvil cell equipment — are primarily carried out by PhD student Marzena
Baron at the University of Bristol.
A new professorship in Mantle Dynamics was advertised in 2014, which considerable will
strengthen our research in linking surface and deep Earth processes. Our distinguished
board — chaired by Professor Rob Van der Voo (Ann Arbor) — was extended by two new
members, Professors Dave Bercovici (Yale University) and Karin Sigloch (University of
Oxford). In 2014 our famed chairman was awarded the Petrus Peregrinus Medal from the
European Geosciences Union.

1. Team Deep Earth: Materials, structure and dynamics
Experimental studies of melting relations on compositions in
simple 2- to 3-component systems and natural basalt and peridotite, using laser-heated diamond anvil cell (LH-DAC)
equipment at the University of Bristol, are performed in parallel with first principles molecular dynamics (FPMD) simulations of melting in the CMS-system. The dual approach will
provide fundamental constraints on the lower mantle melting.
Along with other recent contributions, it will increase our understanding of the processes and consequences of early magma
ocean solidification and extensive deep melting in hot, plumes during the Hadean (before 4
billion years ago).
The aim of our Earth
materials research is to
gain insights into the
phase relations and
physiochemical properties
of lower mantle minerals
and melts.
Another FPMD-project is aimed at the partitioning of ferrous and ferric iron components
between the dominant minerals bridgmanite and post-bridgmanite in the lowermost mantle.
The Fe2+ incorporation in these minerals occurs by simple divalent Fe-Mg substitution at
the large A-site, whereas Fe3+ substitution in the A-site must be charge balanced by coupled
substitution of Al3+ for Si4+ in the small B-site. These theoretical investigations have provided a wealth of interesting partitioning data, as well as bulk and shear moduli and thermal
conductivity.
To improve the interpretation of the noble gas isotope systematics in oceanic and continental basalts, we perform FPMD-simulations of the diffusion of He and Ne in major mantle
minerals. This work is partly linked to ongoing projects where we analyse the global geochemical array of mid-ocean ridge basalts, as well as projects focussed on the geochemistry
of basalts from Iceland and the NE Atlantic and the Arctic.
Although projects related to deep Earth dynamics are described elsewhere in the annual report, three highlights are briefly mentioned here: Torsvik et al. (2014) presented an updated and extended reference frame for plate movements throughout the Paleozoic, based on
semi-stationary LLSVPs and deep-rooted plume activity. A few months later, Steinberger et
al. (2014) suggested a model for how northern hemisphere glaciation could be initiated in
Greenland, based on the combined effects in the last 62 Ma of Iceland plume pulses, plate
motion and true polar wander that elevated and moved Greenland to higher latitudes. A
multifaceted data set, involving seismic tomography, gravimetry and geochemistry of High
Arctic LIP basalts, have led Grace Shepard and collaborators to suggest the presence of a

be linked to the South Anuyi subduction at about 160 Ma and the subsequent HALIP magmatism and opening of the Amerasia Basin.
Lower mantle melting (M.A. Baron, O.L. Lord, M.J. Walter, C.E. Mohn, R.G.
Trønnes)
The development of a new method for producing metal-encapsulated (Re, Mo, W) sample
discs of glass, immersed in a medium for thermal insulation and pressure transmission
(MgO, KCl, Ar), has been challenging, and is still ongoing. In parallel, we perform a study
of the eutectic melting temperatures in the systems CMS and MS (CaO, MgO, SiO2) in the
pressure range of the lower mantle, using sample powders mixed with laser absorber (W).
Although the exact eutectic compositions are unconstrained, we use compositions that produce more than 60 % eutectic melts (Figure 1.1). The eutectic temperature is recorded by
gradually increasing laser power until reaching a temperature plateau, resulting from meltaided segregation of the W-powder, thereby reducing the laser-absorption in the sample.
With this technique, we have investigated eutectic temperatures involving the following
liquidus mineral assemblages, corresponding to model peridotite and basalt compositions:

through the lower mantle pressure range. The melting curves for the magnesian
(peridotitic) model eutectics in the MS-system have steeper Clapeyron slopes The (dT/dp =
∆V/∆S) at pressures below 50-60 GPa and more curvature compared to the melting curves

of the silica-rich (basaltic) compositions. This indicates that the silica-rich melt has higher
bulk modulus, resulting in a ∆V of melting that decreases little with increasing pressure. As
expected, the CMS-system melting curve are located at lower temperature than the corresponding MS-system curve, although the difference is very small for the silica-rich eutectic
compositions. Our experimental results are broadly consistent with the recent results of
Liebske and Frost (2012) and de Koker et al. (2013) in the MS-system.
A new metal-sputtering method and devise for coating sample glass discs is currently being
tested, in order to determine the liquidus minerals and thereby the composition of the eutectics as a function of pressure in the MS- and CMS-systems. Complementary FPMD computations have also been started. The method will first be tested on the congruent melting
of Ca-perovskite (CaSiO3), before we will try to constrain the primary liquidus phases for a
number of strategically chosen compositions in the CMS-system at various pressures.
Phase relations and mineral physics of bridgmanite and postbridgmanite (C.E. Mohn, R.T. Trønnes)
Our FPMD-investigations to determine the iron partitioning between bridgmanite (bm) and
post-bridgmanite (pbm) in the two separate systems MgSiO3-FeSiO3 (MS-FS) and MgSiO3FeAlO3 (MS-FA) indicate that FS and FA partition strongly in opposite directions, to pbm
and bm, respectively. The results are in broad agreement with published experimental data,
which until recently appeared to be largely contradictory. If the LLSVPs represent dense
and stable thermochemical piles with high Fe/Mg-ratio and sizeable layers of pbm, they are
most likely dominated by Fe-rich peridotite with low Al-content, rather than recycled basalt.
Additional data on the mineral physics, especially bulk and shear moduli and thermal conductivity, contribute to improved seismic and dynamic models of the lowermost mantle.
Diffusion of 3He, 4He and Ne in bridgmanite (K.R. Eigenmann, C.E.
Mohn, R.G. Trønnes, N.L. Allan)
The MSc-project of Katharina Eigenmann involves FPMD-simulations to investigate the
diffusion rates of the lightest noble gases in MgSiO3-dominated bridgmanite. The aim is to
obtain diffusion rates for 3He, 4He and bulk Ne to constrain interpretations of noble gas isotope signatures of oceanic and continental basalts. The primordial or solar-like signals recorded in some of the most primitive olivine tholeiites and picrites erupted in large igneous
provinces and above deep-rooted mantle plumes might be explained by long diffusion
length scales for He and Ne in the early part of Earth's history. The source of primordial He
and Ne may be either undifferentiated material which has escaped extensive processing via
melting and crystallization and possibly also the outer core. Secondary reservoirs with low
U and Th concentrations which could easily preserve low 4He/3He and 21Ne/22Ne ratios
might be refractory domains generated by extensive Hadean melt-depletion. The viability
and effectiveness of this type of reservoir depend on the diffusion rate and solubility of the
noble gases, primarily in bridgmanite. Our MD-computations simulate He and Ne incorpo14
ration and diffusion, either as random interstitial atoms in a defect-free MgSiO3-lattice, or
as He and Ne atoms incorporated in and jumping between O-vacancies in a MgSiO3-lattice
with a small proportion of a MgAlO2.5-component.
Global geochemistry of mid-ocean ridge basalts (H. Drescher, R.G.
Trønnes, C. Gaina)
Hermann Drescher completed his MSc thesis in September and is currently expanding and
refining the results for publication. The large-scale chemical provincialism between Atlantic, Indian Ocean and Pacific asthenosphere domains and the intermediate- to small-scale
variations within these areas are related to the history of plate tectonics and convective dynamics. We focus especially on the diversity and distribution of basalts with DUPAL- or
EM1-like components and their alternative origins as deeply recycled pelagic sediments
versus asthenospheric entrainment of material from the lower continental crust and/or subcontinental lithospheric mantle.
Geochemistry of NE Atlantic and Arctic basalts (R.G. Trønnes, V.
Debaille, M. Erambert, F.M. Stuart, T. Waight)
Multi-element isotope analyses of primitive basalts from the Icelandic flank zones and Jan
Mayen, along with published data from the Icelandic rift zones, the NE Atlantic and Arctic
spreading ridges and the Quaternary to Holocene Spitsbergen volcanoes, have given unique
constraints on the distribution and relative importance of mantle sources in the entire NE
Atlantic and Arctic. The area north of Iceland is strongly influenced by asthenosphere entrainment of subcontinental lithosphere, whereas deep Iceland plume material with entrained recycled oceanic crust dominates in SW Iceland and along the Reykjanes Ridge. In
the broad context of this project, we are also publishing a model for contamination of magmas in the Eastern Flank Zone by deeply buried fragments of continental crust under SE
Iceland (Torsvik et al., accepted for publication).

2. Team Dynamic Earth: Plate motions and Earth history
Mid-ocean ridge hybrid hydrothermal activity has been successfully modelled by Hasenclever, Theissen-Krah et al. (Nature); a
global database of magnetic anomaly identifications that is vital to
the determination of oceanic crust age has been assembled and made publicly available (Seton et al., G cubed) and an analysis of
continental break-up and mantle plumes shed light on the causality
between them (Buiter and Torsvik, Gondwana Research). Advances in theoretical and numerical modelling that analyzed the role of
tectonic overpressure with depth were discussed by Schmalholz,
Medvedev et al. (GJI) and the effects of lithosphere buckling on
subsidence and hydrocarbon maturation by Gac et al. (EPSL). Paleoclimate and hydrocarbon migration ages and pathways can be
unveiled using the Re-Os geochemistry and new results using this
technique were presented by Stein et al. and Hannah et al. in a series of extended abstracts for the Society of Petroleum Engineers
(International Petroleum Technology Conference 2014) and by Xu et al. (P-cubed). As in
the previous year, work on the Caledonides, Norwegian passive margins, Barents Sea and
the North Atlantic-Arctic is central to our team with 45% of the 2014 papers focussed on
these topics (see Appendix for complete list of papers).
The research topics
undertaken by the
Dynamic Earth
members and their
collaborators in the
2014 publications
tackled both regional
and global problems
that illustrate
different stages of the
Wilson Cycle which
is this group’s
research framework.
The overarching theme chosen for in-depth stories in this report is the Caledonian tectonic
history viewed from new geological and geophysical data collected by CEED scientists in
2014.

the pre-Caledonian continental margin of Balitca
The remnants of the late Proterozoic to early Palaeozoic preCaledonian passive margin of Baltica is exposed in nappes in the
Caledonides in Scandinavian along a distance of almost 1900 km.
In the SW Caledonides (Figure 2.1), large Proterozoic crystalline
nappes including the Jotun and Lindås Nappes are structurally underlain by a regional melange unit characterised by the abundant
presence of solitary mantle periodotites (Andersen et al. 2012).
The exhumed mantle was juxtaposed with slivers of crystalline
basement, and both crust and mantle were covered by mostly finegrained deep marine sediments. The dominantly fine-grained deepbasin black-shale sedimentation was however, interrupted by local
fan-type influxes of coarser-grained sediments derived from both
re-sedimentation of continental deposits as well as from exposed
and hydrated mantle peridotites. Local occurrences of ultramafic
detrital deposits along the length of the melange basin must have
formed adjacent to erosional highs.
These ‘exotic’ sedimentary rocks formed prior to the early Caledonian shortening deformation and metamorphism which affected
these basins before the final continental collision. U/Pb single zircon dating of mafic slivers in these basins (Corfu et al., work in
progress) have shown that these are Proterozoic, hence the early,
syn-extensional history of the melange basins was characterised by
surprisingly little magmatic activity. The melange rocks were,
however, truncated by subduction-related magmas in the lower
Ordovician as shown by recent U/Pb single zircon TIMMS dating
of gabbro-pegmatite (487±1 Ma) and deformed granitoids (476±1
Ma) (Jakob et al., work in progress). Our work suggests that the
southern segment of the passive margin of Baltica was very wide, magma-poor and hyper-extended, and that it had continen-

tal slivers or micro-continents separated by deep basins with transitional crust inwhich mantle lithosphere was exhumed and partly exposed. We also suggest that hyperextension may also have exhumed mantle in parts of the central and northernmost
parts of the pre-Caledonian passive margin of Baltica.
The geology of pre-Caledonian passive margin of Baltic in southern Scandinavia is in
strong contrast to the geology of nappes at intermediate structural level in the central Scandinavian Caledonides. These include the Särv and the Seve nappe complexes previously interpreted as parts of the distal pre-Caledonian passive margin of Baltica (Andreasson et al.
1998). These nappes continue as thin slivers below the outboard terranes above the Western

Gneiss Region. A prominent feature of these nappes is the abundant presence of mafic
igneous material, mostly as dyke-swarms, intruding continental deposits including tillites
and older high-grade crystalline rocks. Dyke-complexes locally develop into near 100%
sheeted dyke complexes. Work in progress demonstrates that the dyke intrusions were
accompanied by large rotational faulting progressively tilting sediments and already intruded dykes (Figure 2.2).
High precision U/Pb dating of the mafic dykes in the northern parts of the magma-rich segment (e.g., Svenningsen 2001) shows that the dykes were emplaced between 610 and 595
million years ago. More work is required to establish that the dyke-intrusions are generally
coeval also further to the north and south as suggested by the geology (Figure 2.1). Our interpretation, previous studies, and work in progress suggest that the very large volumes and short duration of the Ediacaran basalt magmatism associated with the formation of the passive margin of Baltica may constitute a Large Igneous Province
(LIP), which was an important geodynamic element in the ‘kick-off’ of the Caledonian
Wilson cycle.
Together with our colleagues from the Earth Crisis group we are working towards an indepth understanding of passive margin evolution by studying both ancient preserved margins (like Baltica, Figure 2.3) and modern analogues (like the Norwegian margin) which exhibit similar structure and geology as well as the segmentation in magma-poor and rich domains. The exposed deep levels of both types of segments in the Caledonides have been
subjected to orogenic deformation and metamorphism during early as well as the terminal
stages of the Caledonian Wilson Cycle. However, land observations of these segments together with the geophysical data and drill-core data from the modern margin(s) are keys to
understanding the Wilson-cycle initiation.

time the location of the Caledonian suture zone and the orientation and extent of the deformation front is ambiguous from existing data.
An array of air-guns was used to receive and record the seismic waves which travel in the
crust and upper mantle down to 35 km and bring us information on elastic properties from
the Earth’s interior. More than 80 4C-seismic stations (a three-component seismometer plus
hydrophone) were deployed at the seafloor. All of these instruments were recovered with
data recorded. In addition, measurements of the gravity and magnetic field were performed
every 10 seconds to constrain the density and magnetization of the crustal blocks.
Understanding the geometry of the Caledonian deformation fronts has also a large implication upon the models of Palaeozoic paleo-environment in the Barents Sea. For instance, it is
important to know the extent of thick Devonian strata in deep basins related to collapse and
erosion of the Caledonian orogeny, as well as the existence and areal of marine conditions.
The refraction data should add to our knowledge of the evolution of the Palaeozoic rifting
in the Barents Sea with regards to the inherited lithosphere weakness represented by the deformation front. The Late Palaeozoic paleogeography and basin configuration have large
implications for any Palaeozoic petroleum system. If the Caledonian Mountain Belt was
restricted to the western Barents Sea we may have had marine conditions in the Central Barents Sea already by Devonian time. Such a scenario opens for the possibility that the proven Devonian source rock for the Pechora Basin (Domanik shale) extends across the eastern
and into the central Barents Sea. Furthermore, a better control on the Carboniferous rift
structures will improve our understanding of the late Carboniferous-Permian depositional
systems and their potential source and reservoir rocks. The velocity and density models
constructed using the newly acquired data will be used as structural constraints for thermokinematic and dynamic models of rifting. The details of the survey can be found at: https://

Within the Earth Modelling team, CEED researchers develop numerical models of the Earth ranging from simple 2D axi-symmetric studies to massively parallel 4D global mantle convection simulations.
Supported by the Norwegian Metacenter for Computational Science
(www.notur.no), team researchers work on a variety of geodynamical
problems that will aid in Earth evolution reconstructions.
Achievements
Since joining CEED in late 2013, Ms. Fritzell has been studying subducted slab material in the mantle using 4D global models of mantle
convection. She will defend her Masters in Spring 2015. Her work
was presented at the GeoMod Workshop in Potsdam, Germany in
2014. Dr. Bull has worked in close-collaboration with members of
the Dynamic Earth and Palaeomagnetic lab teams to investigate the
longeveity and evolution of deep mantle heterogeneities. Her work
was presented at three invited talks in 2014 (CIG-CGUU, Banff, Canada; SEDI, Tokyo, Japan; and Deep Earth Dynamics, London, England). R.Watson has continued his development of the open-source
plate reconstruction software GPlates (www.gplates.org).
Case Study: Modeling palaeo-Subduction beneath the Arctic: the MongolOkhotsk slab (A. Bull, E. Fritzell, G. Shephard)
To perform any numerical model of convection in Earth's mantle, initial internal conditions
(e.g., temperature and composition), boundary conditions (e.g., the velocity fields at the surface and the core-mantle boundary), and parameters such as the mantle viscosity profile
must be imposed. Such conditions and parameters are crucial for simulating mantle convec-

tion, however none are fully constrained, and assumptions on their values must be made.
Using palaeomagnetically-derived tectonic plate motion velocities as time-dependent surface boundary conditions in numerical convection models, it is possible to simulate convective flow within Earth's mantle for periods encompassing several hundreds of Myr.
In ongoing work, the Earth Modeling team is studying the effect of the assumed initial condition on the resulting 3D flow field in simulations of global mantle convection. We are investigating whether the assumption of an initial condition affects the present-day mantle dynamical structure on a local or global scale and aim to determine the time-dependence of
the effect of initial condition. We are applying this analysis to one of the most tectonically
enigmatic regions of the world, the circum-Arctic; its complexity largely resultant from a
long-lived history of subduction involving the opening and closure of several ocean basins.
We quantitatively and qualitatively compare predicted present-day mantle structure to inferences from alternative seismic tomography models to determine the effect of initial conditions and regional subduction histories on numerical model results.

We have drilled the Permian-Triassic boundary
on Svalbard
The Permian-Triassic boundary is well studied on Svalbard, both
from a stratigraphic and a geochemical perspective. However, the
transition is weathered in outcrops and high resolution sampling
is challenging. In 2014 we secured funding from Lundin Petroleum (drilling costs) and Store Norske (logistics) for drilling the
boundary. A locality in Deltadalen was chosen as the site for drilling (Figure 4.1). Our main aims with the project were to obtain a
high quality and continuous core that can form the basis for highresolution geochemical and stratigraphic work. Specific details
about the drilling are presented:
Two boreholes were successfully drilled in Deltadalen, Svalbard in August 2014 by CEED (PI: Sverre Planke).
 The boreholes, DD1 and DD2, were drilled one meter apart
and reached 99 and 92 meters depth. The recovery was nearly
100% and the cores are now stored at CEED (Figure 4.2).
 On-site sedimentological logging by Richard Twitchett and
Valentin Zuchuat, corroborated by comparison with nearby
outcrops of the equivalent section, confirmed that the core
records the lower ~85 m of the Permian-Triassic Vikinghøgda
Formation and upper meters of the underlying Kapp Starostin
Formation, and thus spans the latest Changhsingian to late Induan. The critical Permian/Triassic boundary interval was therefore sampled in both cores.
 One of the cores was transported to Bergen and is now being

Lusi monitoring
The spectacular LUSI mud eruption started in northeast Java the 29 of May 2006 following
a 6.3 M earthquake that struck the island. Since 2006, Adriano Mazzini has worked on understanding the LUSI plumbing system and the origin of the erupted fluids. In 2013 we
completed two field expeditions to LUSI, including testing of the specially designed LUSI
drone (Figure 4.3).
We have developed a new prototype with longer autonomy that can be piloted using video
goggles connected by telemetry directly with the drone camera. A new remote-controlled
winch allowed collecting fresh samples of fluids from the crater zone. Microbial incubations of the collected samples show the presence of active microbial colonies producing
CH4 and CO2 as well as oxidizing CH4 and degrading hydrocarbons.
Hundreds of soil flux measurements collected from the LUSI region show that a remarkable
amount of CH4 and CO2 is
constantly released by pools,
cracks and micro fractures to
the atmosphere over a 7 km2

surface around the crater. Some of the CH4 results are shown in Figure 4.4.
CEED study of mud volcanism and gas release is ongoing in other parts of the world. We
recently initiated an academic collaboration with the Kharazmi University in Teheran for
the study of so far undocumented and remote mud volcano fields in the SE Caspian margin
and the Makran region of Iran. We have sampled and visited these spectacular mud volcanoes twice in 2014.
Contact metamorphic gas generation
Thick sill intrusions provide heat to the surrounding sedimentary rocks for thousands of
years following emplacement. The heat drives metamorphic reactions leading to devolatilization and generation of both water, CH4 and CO2. If the gases were released to the atmosphere, this process may lead to perturbations in the atmospheric chemistry, causing climatic changes. In order to develop this hypothesis, we have studied the contact zones
around thick sills in places like the Karoo Basin (South Africa) and the Tunguska basin
(Siberia). However, we wanted to understand the effects of thin sill intrusions and found a
suitable interval in one of the CO2 storage cores drilled near Longyearbyen. Here are the results:
A 2.28 meter thick dolerite sill and its associated contact aureole were drilled and fully cored (the DH4 borehole). Samples spanning the contact aureole show significant thermal ef26
fects around the thin sill. The total organic carbon content is lowered towards the contact
(from 1-2 wt.% to zero), suggesting formation of CO2 during heating.
A count of the visual fractures along the DH4 borehole shows that the sill contains 8-10
fractures per meter and that fractures are concentrated below the sill (4-10 fractures per meter). The results show that the total aureole thickness is 160–195% of the sill thickness and
that the sill and aureole together represent a six metre thick geochemical and mechanical
perturbation in the sedimentary succession.
Tephrachronology
We have several projects related to the use of tephrachronology and the timing of LIPs and
associated environmental perturbations. For instance, we study Paleocene and Eocene tephra deposits in Denmark and Svalbard, and Permian-Triassic ashes in Svalbard and Siberia.
We also have a stand-alone project on Ordovician tephra deposits just prior to the late Ordovician mass extinction. Based on a classical locality in the Oslo Graben, we have dated the
well-known Kinnekulle bentonite. Here is some background information and results:
The Late Ordovician world experienced a series of huge volcanic eruptions, recorded as the
big Deicke, Millbrig and Kinnekulle bentonites, together with numerous thinner beds. The
Kinnekulle event can be traced across northwestern Europe.
Zircons were found in both the Kinnekulle bentonite and the uppermost recorded tephra
layer in the Ordovician of the Oslo Region. The tephra layers are located in the upper part
of the Arnestad Formation (Sandbian) south of Oslo and gave ages of 454.52 ± 0.50 Ma
(the Kinnekulle K-bentonite) and 453.91 ± 0.37 Ma (the upper Grimstorp K-bentonite).
The dated tephras are separated by a 7 m thick shale succession with subordinate nodular
limestone beds. High-resolution magnetic susceptibility logging in the same section shows
cycles that likely represent changes in sediment supply in response to astronomical forcing.
Spectral analysis shows the presence of long (400 kyr) and short (100 kyr) eccentricity
bands, and obliquity components in the 30 kyr band. Precessional cycles are not detected.
Based on this method, it is possible to estimate a time interval of 766 kyr between the two
tephra events. This opens new possibilities for understanding the evolution of one of the
world's best preserved Ordovician marine systems.

5. Team Earth and Beyond: Comparative Planetology
The team evaluates how similar (or
different) other planetary bodies
behave. On Earth, geological
evidence of the accretion and the
earliest evolution is almost nonexistent because of volcanic,
erosional and plate tectonic
processes that have obliterated
most of the rock record from the
first half billion years. This record
is much better preserved on other
planets and moons. Therefore, one
of the key objectives is to study the
geological evolutionary history of
other terrestrial bodies, specifically
the volcanic record, which
manifests the thermal evolution of
planets on their surfaces. The
shape of a planet and its
gravitational potential field allow
insight into the current planetary
interior structure and dynamics.
Combined with the volcanic and
superposed crater record,
planetary thermal evolution models
can be constrained in time and
space.
Mantle Convection Models - Deciphering the Gravity Spectra of Terrestrial
Planets
Gravity fields of the terrestrial planets and their prediction from numerical modeling of mantle convection are used for investigating the parameters
thatcontrol the pattern of mantle flow by changing
the radial viscosity profile, and in turn, with which
viscosity profile can the gravity spectrum of the planet of interest (here Venus) be explained (Rolf et el.,
2014 a, b). Purely thermal models with only one
mineral phase have difficulty to reproduce the Venus’
gravity spectrum, which cannot be satisfactorily
matched. This seems to be the case for models with
only radially varying viscosity, but also for those
with additional lateral viscosity variations, which do
not significantly alter the long-wavelength components of the gravity field, in line with previous studies. Nevertheless, these models indicate that Venus is
unlikely to have a low-viscosity upper mantle (or asthenosphere) – in contrast to Earth. More recently,
calculations including mineral phase transitions in
the Venusian mantle were tested and, depending on
the properties of the transitions, these models seem
to improve the match between observed and predicted gravity spectra significantly (Figure 5.1). Future
research will follow this line of investigation with the
28
aim to find an appropriate set of parameters, which can then be plugged into more sophisticated models including aspect to Venus’ evolution, for instance its strongly episodic resurfacing events.
Crater Clock, Crater Distributions and Crater Formation
The Earth & Beyond group expanded in 2014, because of the NFR grant CraterClock. The
goal of this project is intimately linked to the main CEED goals. Understanding the evolution of planets in the Solar System critically depends on accurate estimates of time and rates
at which geological processes occur. The Crater Clock project will develop a unique cratering chronology model and planetary time-scale for the inner solar system, which will for the
first time permit studies of the earliest and most constitutive period of planetary evolution
(the first 600 Ma). We will use the coherence between the isotopic geochemistry and models of planetary evolution dated with the new time scale to investigate the origin and causes
of long-term signatures of terrestrial planets. Part of it is the study of cratering process, the
formation of craters and the impact on the observed spatial crater size-frequency distributions. For example, continuous bombardment erases existing craters, so that the density and
size-frequency distribution of craters could reach equilibrium. One focus is the investigation of the long-held hypothesis that equilibrated crater populations should uniquely hold a
˗2 cumulative size- frequency distribution. After performing careful crater counts, some exciting results have been archived and the significance of this study is now under investigation.
Updating the Chronology Function Curve: Correction of the Anchor
Ages
Cratering statistics is used to determine relative and absolute ages for planetary surfaces.
Crater frequencies are correlated with isotopically-derived absolute ages of lunar samples
collected at lunar landing sites. These frequency-age pairs are described by analytical functions, so-called cratering chronology models, which are used to establish the age of a surface by referring crater frequencies to absolute ages, for surfaces not directly linked to
sample sites or other planetary bodies. The anchor-ages were determined mostly by the
Figure 5.1(left). Snapshots of the thermal field for two Venus cases in the Extended Boussinesq approximation including phase changes with different Clapeyron slopes as indicated

Ar-39Ar and 87Rb-87Sr isotope systematics during the 1970’s. Several commonly used
chronology models exist. Despite several attempts of modifications, the ages used to determine the anchor-ages, have not been updated, although the K-decay constant value, the
ages of monitor samples used in the 40Ar-39Ar, and the value for the Rb-decay constant were changed. This major effort has now been performed, and an average change in anchorages is observed of about 5%. (Fernandes et al., 2014). Nevertheless, the actual percentage
in the age correction depends on the combination of the decay constant correction and the
updated age of the age-monitor used for the irradiation of the samples analysed. Thus, the
correction is a case by case situation and not a general single value that can be applied to
all samples. The correction of the ages determined for the Apollo samples using the 40Ar39
Ar system lead to a decrease in flux compared to previous chronology models (Figure
5.2).

Planetary system evolution and Earth-like planets
In collaboration with groups at the German Aerospace Center (DLR Berlin) and the Museum für Naturkunde (Berlin) we have studied the concepts of habitability and aspects of the
dynamical evolution of the Solar System to gain insights in the differences and similarities
between Solar System evolution and exoplanetary systems. We have focused on the conditions of dynamical evolution, which allow the Earth to host life (Rauer et al., 2014; Fritz et
a., 2014). The gravitational interaction of giant planets and terrestrial planets, as well as the
distribution and motion of planetesimals, in the Solar System may have influenced the restructuring of the Solar System planets, so that Earth is the only planet that incorporated all
necessary materials (rock and water), and spent enough time in the “habitability zone” to
develop to an inhabited planet. The cratering record of the Moon is one data set to decipher
the bombardment history of the Earth Moon system with implications for the dynamical
history of the Solar System.
Further information on planetary system evolution will be gathered by the future space mission PLATO, searching for terrestrial planets in other star-planet systems.

spinner magnetometer, thermal and alternating field demagnetizers, and a MFK-1
magnetic susceptibility measuring system,
Planning the new lab in the ZEB building
32
were reinstalled at the new locale. In addition to that, we have installed a new set of magnetic shields dedicated to host a 2G Superconducting Rock Magnetometer that is scheduled
to arrive in April-May 2015. The MKF-1 magnetic susceptibility meter was upgraded with
a high-temperature furnace, allowing measurements of bulk magnetic susceptibility from
room temperature to 720 °C. The extended high-temperature capabilities allow characterization of Curie temperatures and thermally-induced alteration of magnetic carriers indicative of magnetic mineralogy. We have also purchased and installed a LakeShore PMC 3900
Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) equipped with a high-temperature furnace
(measurements from room temperature up to 800 °C) and a low-temperature cryostat (263 °C to +200 °C). The PMC 3990 VSM system provides fast, accurate and fully automated measurements of magnetic hysteresis properties that can be used in a wide variety of applications, including characterization of magnetic domain states, magnetic stability, anisotropy, high- and low-temperature transitions and magnetostatic interactions in geological
samples and synthetic materials. This system is unique in Norway because it is the first instrument with the capabilities of measuring magnetic hysteresis properties at cryogenic
temperatures.
The new instruments significantly enhance the capabilities for conducting paleomagnetic
and rock magnetic studies in a wide variety of geologic applications. With the addition of a
2G Cryogenic Rock Magnetometer, which we expect to install in the late spring-early summer 2015, the IGGL will be fully equipped, serving to the entire paleomagnetic and rock
magnetic community in Norway and abroad by providing free-of-charge access to the research facilities, scientific expertise, and technical assistance.
