Carmen Gaina

Carmen Gaina is a Professor at the Centre for Planetary Habitability, University of Oslo, specializing in tectonics, geophysics, and Arctic studies. Her research spans mantle dynamics, oceanic basin evolution, paleoclimate reconstruction, and lithospheric modeling.

Recent publications focus on Arctic ocean bathymetry, lithosphere-asthenosphere interactions, and plume-induced subduction processes. She leads projects like DYPOLE (dynamics of polar basins), HOTMUD (hydrothermal systems), and SUBITOP (Arctic tectonics), often using multi-disciplinary approaches including seismic tomography and satellite gravity inversion.
