Welcome to the website for POLARIS – Evolution of the Arctic in deep time!

Beneath the ice, water, and tundra of the Arctic today lies a vast landscape of rocks. These rocks are different types and ages, and record a rich, and at times explosive, geological history. To improve our understanding of the development of polar region requires state-of-the-art digital models of the Earth. From the surface and deep interior of our planet, and from today to millions of years in the past.


Arctic evolution

Let’s rewind time and dig into the Earth! Learn more about the past of the Arctic from a surface and deep perspective. Outreach and educational resources are here.

POLARIS updates

Recent news and updates from the POLARIS project. Publications and datasets will be linked here. This page will be regularly updated by the team.

About the project

Learn more technical details about POLARIS, its deliverables, and meet the international team behind it.

The primary objective of POLARIS is to build an integrated geodynamic model of the Arctic back to the start of the Devonian times (ca. 410 Million years ago).
The focus is on the interplay of tectonics and whole mantle convection, to explain magmatic events and significant changes in palaeogeography.
