Rapid and recent warming of the Arctic permafrost is resulting in significant greenhouse gas emissions. The potential impact of greenhouse gas release from the Antarctic region has not, to date, been investigated. The first extensive soil gas and flux survey in Antarctica, quantifies carbon emissions.
Adriano Mazzini is an Earth Scientist investigating fluid migration processes in the upper crust, plumbing systems, surface degassing manifestations (mud volcanoes, hybrid systems, hydrothermal systems, pockmarks, cold seeps) and their impacts on atmosphere budgets. He is interested in broad aspects of marine geology applications and onshore degassing systems.

About once a month, researchers at the Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo, will tell about their research and introduce the geociences to a wide audience, from first-year undergraduates, colleagues to interested in general. It is possible to ask questions after the lectures.
Coffee/tea are served. Everyone is welcome!
The lectures are streamed. You can watch the stream at Realfagsbiblioteket YouTube-channel.
