Imaging the pulsing Iceland mantle plume through the Eocene by Parkin, C., Lunnon, Z., White, R., Christie, P., Kusznir, N., Roberts, A., Chappell, A., Eccles, J., Fletcher, R., Healy, David, Hurst, N., Roberts, A., Smith, L., Spitzer, R., Tymms, V.

“…They occur both in the period immediately following breakup and at the present-day Reykjanes Ridge south of Iceland, where they create V-shaped ridges as the mantle thermal anomalies propagate away from the center of the plume beneath Iceland. …”

CO2 sequestration in basaltic rocks in Iceland: Development of a piston-type downhole sampler for CO2 rich fluids and tracers by Alfredsson, H., Wolff-Boenisch, Domenik, Stefansson, A.

“…The reduction of atmospheric CO2 is one of the challenges that scientists face today. University of Iceland, Reykjavik Energy, CNRS in Toulouse and Columbia University have started a cooperative project called CarbFix (www.carbfix.com) aiming at CO2 mineral sequestration into basalts at Hellisheidi, SW Iceland. …”

Lack of 13C-label incorporation suggests low turnover rates of thaumarchaeal intact polar tetraether lipids in sediments from the Iceland shelf by Lengger, Sabine, Lipsewers, Y., De Haas, H., Damste, J., Schouten, S.

“…In this study, we investigated the activity of Thaumarchaeota in sediments by supplying different 13C-labeled substrates which have previously been shown to be incorporated into archaeal cells in water incubations and/or enrichment cultures.We determined the incorporation of 13C-label from bicarbonate, pyruvate, glucose and amino acids into thaumarchaeal intact polar lipid-glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (IPL-GDGTs) during 4–6 day incubations of marine sediment cores from three sites on the Iceland shelf. Thaumarchaealintact polar lipids, in particular crenarchaeol, were detected at all stations and concentrations remained constant or decreased slightly upon incubation. …”
