Danish Research Center To Explore Mysteries of Earth's Interior

An anonymous reader writes "The DanSeis Centre at the University of Copenhagen has just received a grant of more than €3 million from the Danish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Higher Education to investigate and tackle one of geoscience's great mysteries: do mantle plumes, hypothetically buoyant regions of heated mantle material rising towards the earth's surface, actually exist?"

Great News

I will be watching this closely, as I have often wondered what on Earth is at the center of a Danish [wikipedia.org].

If the planet is consuming too many plum filled danishes, I can certainly understand hot bubbles of materials rising up.

Oh, sorry, you said "plume," not "plum." Never mind. Also, for anyone who thought of hot grits and/or Natalie Portman while reading the above, you've got issues bro.

The horrible abominations you call Danish pastry over in the US, I wouldn't even feed to the pigs. I wouldn't mind my nationality being associated with a custard-filled fatty pastry, if only it was a delicious custard-filled fatty pastry. For heaven's sake, turn them into bio fuel or something, because they certainly aren't suitable for human consumption.

Same goes for your coffee, by the way. :-)
