Dear visitor, Kjære besøker
I would like to welcome you to my web pages. My name is Dani Schmid and I am a senior researcher at the PGP (Physics of Geological Processes), located in Oslo, Norway.
PGP is a center where physicists and geologists work together towards a better understanding of our planet. And could there be a better place for this than Norway, with its rugged mountains, endless fjords, glaciers, natural beauty and resources?
My background is in geology and I develop analytical and numerical models for geological processes ranging from small particles in shear zones, up to large scale folding and sedimentary basin formation. While I keep working on quantitative structural geology, my current work focuses on the coupling of different disciplines in Earth science, in particular the interaction between mineral growth/reaction and deformation.
I hope you find some interesting information about my science and life through the navigation at the top of this page.

Thanks for passing by!
