The upcoming application deadline for DEEP travel and research grant for 2018 is 15 January.

Together with a network of seven research schools, DEEP offers an intensive 3-day PhD course in science communication from 24 - 26 January 2018 in Bergen.

DEEP is organizing the PhD workshop "Writing for Scholars" in Spring 2018. The workshop will increase your understanding of what scholarly writing is all about, how you can get more out of the writing process, and how you can most effectively reach your audience.

The Norwegian research school DEEP offers an intensive PhD course on Solid Earth - Fluid Earth Interactions (5 ETCS credits) 16 - 20 April, 2018, in Oslo.

I am a first year PhD candidate in geodynamics at the University of Bergen. My project evaluates the concept of metamorphic core complexes for the Devonian collapse of the Caledonian Orogen in SW Norway. In metamorphic core complexes, deep crustal rocks (the so-called “metamorphic core”) are being exhumed below extensional shear zones and exhibit a close interaction between deep and shallow crustal processes. Furthermore, such structures can significantly influence subsequent tectonic phases like the Mesozoic North Sea rift in case of SW Norway.

DEEP members are invited to participate at the intensive course GEO-8131 Deformation processes (5 ECTS credits) at University of Tromsø. The course will take place from 26 February to 2 March 2018.

Registration deadline for the course is: 1 December 2017.

DEEP welcomes all members to the second general assembly 7 to 9 March 2018. This year the annual meeting will take place at Hurtigruten travelling from Bergen to Trondheim.

Register before 10 November 2017.

November 6 - 10 2017 the Norwegian research school DEEP offers an intensive course on the composition and evolution of the lithosphere and asthenosphere in Oslo with Valerie Maupin as lecturer.

The CHESS Research School invites DEEP members to join their Advanced Statistics Training course at the University of Bergen in August.

I was invited to attend a research trip organised by a group of Australian ore geology experts to the Broken Hill district, Australia. Broken Hill, discovered in 1884, is the largest Pb-Zn-Ag deposit in the world, and 250 million tonnes of high-grade ore has been produced from the 8 km long boomerang shaped ore body. The deposit is hosted by a sequence of metavolcanic to metasedimentary rocks in the Palaeoproterozoic Curnamona province, formed at about 1685 Ma.

A two day seminar for young career scientist on how to build your academic CV and writing successful project proposals.

September 11 - 15 2017 the Norwegian research school DEEP offers an intensive course on large igneous provinces and their environmental impacts in Oslo. Henrik Svensen, Trond Torsvik and Hope Jahren are among the lecturers.

Every year the PhD student members of DEEP will elect their own representatives in the DEEP steering board. For 2017/2018 Geertruida ter Maat and Joost van den Broek was elected.

In February 2017 thirty members of the research school DEEP gathered at Dr. Holms Hotel, Geilo for the first General Assembly in the research school network. Networking, lectures and a workshop were on the agenda, and some skiing of course.

Participants at our 1st General Assembly in February will have the exclusive opportunity to listen to inspiring talks by Professor Charles Lesher from Aarhus University and Professor Trond H. Torsvik from CEED, University of Oslo.

First week of November the Norwegian Research School DEEP arranged its very first intensive course for PhD students. The course Planetary Physics and Global Tectonics is the first in a series of new courses established by the school.

We are happy to inform that Hanne H. Christiansen from UNIS and Charles Lesher from Aarhus University have said yes to join our steering board as external members for the next two years. Their long scientific experience will benefit us greatly as we are building up our research school.

DEEP partners at Aarhus University are offering a unique two week course for PhD students 3 – 14 October. They gather PhD students working in both petrology and geophysics from around the world. The application deadline for 2016 is 26 August!

In the beginning of May all national partners and collaborators gathered in Oslo for the very first DEEP meeting. Apart from getting information about DEEP, we discussed the management of our research school, themes for workshops, structure of our General Assembly and recruiting strategies.

To offer PhD students within solid earth and planetary sciences a better course portfolio we have established four new courses at CEED, UiO, that will be open to all DEEP members.
