The 2022 Meradalir eruption at Fagradalsfjall, Iceland, provided an opportunity to study mildly explosive volcanic activity of a mafic volcano using video analysis. During a field campaign from 10 to 14 August 2022, we recorded high-resolution videos...

Lengthening of biogeochemical processes during winter in degraded permafrost soils (2025)
Journal Article
Villani, M., Hirst, C., du Bois d’Aische, E., Thomas, M., Lundin, E., Giesler, R., Mörth, C. M., & Opfergelt, S. (2025). Lengthening of biogeochemical processes during winter in degraded permafrost soils. Geochemical perspectives letters, 34, 36-42. https://doi.org/10.7185/geochemlet.2511

The consequences of permafrost thaw for organic carbon release are mainly studied in summer, considering the frozen soil is inert in winter. Here, we show that biogeochemical processes also occur during early winter. We combine Si isotopes and Ge/Si...

Understanding how natural disasters impact ongoing civil wars is increasingly important as more extreme weather events are expected due to climate change. Existing literature suggests that there is substantial unexplained variation in the consequence...
