Just How Do You Make a Building Earthquake Proof? By Dougal Jerram, Research Assosciate at CEED.
NRK vitenskap og teknologi has an article (in Norwegian) about the interior of the Earth, partly based on an interview with CEED`s team leader Reidar Trønnes.
Our "Earth Crises" team leader has been very active in Norwegian media so far this year. Here is a summary of his outreach activities, which includes newspaper articles, and TV and radio contributions.
Science has a "News Focus" article about the "Deep Earth Machine is coming together". See: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/340/6128/22.full.pdf
The Torsvik et al. (2010, Nature) article figures prominently in the Science story, written by the productive geosciences journalist Richard Kerr.

- Geological detectives are piecing together an intriguing seafloor puzzle. The Indian Ocean and some of its islands, scientists say, may lie on top of the remains of an ancient continent pulled apart by plate tectonics between 50 million and 100 million years ago. ScienceNOW. 24.2.2013. CEED researchers are among the detectives.
