The research program at NordVulk is focused on volcanic processes and eruptive products, crustal structures, tectonic processes, and environmental effects of eruptions. The research is process orientated, using the Iceland region as a natural laboratory, with its unique access to a sub-aerial part of the mid-ocean ridge system.
Inter disciplinary research themes at Nordvulk are among others:
- Generation and evolution of magma in the source region
- Magma transport towards the surface of the Earth
- Environmental effects of volcanic processes and eruptions
-
Eruption dynamics and sedimentation processes
