A comparison of ancient deltaic shoreline progradation with modern deltaic progradation rates: Unravelling the temporal structure of the shallow-marine Blackhawk Formation, Upper Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway, USA
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Understanding how sedimentary rocks represent time is one of the significant challenges in sedimentology. Sedimentation rates retrieved from vertical sections are strongly timescale dependent, which means that we cannot ... -
Comparison of metamorphic evolution and tectonic position of metasediments of the Austevoll islands with rocks from the Samnanger Complex (Major Bergen Arc, Norwegian Caledonides)
(Master thesis, 2015-08-01)Metasedimentary rocks represent a substantial component of the Bergen Arcs System and they are mostly confined to the Minor and Major Bergen Arcs. The arcs represents imbricate structures composed of island arc lithologies, ... -
Complex fault system revealed by 3-D seismic reflection data with deep learning and fault network analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Understanding where normal faults are located is critical for an accurate assessment of seismic hazard; the successful exploration for, and production of, natural (including low-carbon) resources; and the safe subsurface ... -
A complex point-source solution of the acoustic eikonal equation for Gaussian beams in transversely isotropic media
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-03-11)The complex traveltime solutions of the complex eikonal equation are the basis of inhomogeneous plane-wave seismic imaging methods, such as Gaussian beam migration and tomography. We present the analytic approximations for ... -
Complex strain partitioning and heterogeneous extension rates during early rifting in the East Shetland Basin, northern North Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The early stages of continental rifting are accommodated by the growth of upper crustal normal fault systems that are distributed relatively evenly across the rift width. Numerous fault systems define fault arrays, the ... -
Compositions of dissolved organic matter in the ice-covered waters above the Aurora hydrothermal vent system, Gakkel Ridge, Arctic Ocean
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Hydrothermal vents modify and displace subsurface dissolved organic matter (DOM) into the ocean. Once in the ocean, this DOM is transported together with elements, particles, dissolved gases and biomass along with the ... -
Computationally Efficient Methods for Seismic Modeling and Inversion
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-18)This thesis presents new methods for the modeling of seismic waveforms based on ray theory and ray-Born integrals. The waveforms are used in forward modeling, imaging and full waveform inversion and are computed in 3D ... -
A conceptual geological model for offshore wind sites in former ice stream settings: The Utsira Nord site, North Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Conceptual geological models of the shallow subsurface that integrate geological and geotechnical information are important for more strategic data acquisition and engineering at offshore wind sites. Utsira Nord is an ... -
Configuration of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet in southwestern Norway during the Younger Dryas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The extent of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet in southwestern Norway is precisely located during the well-characterized Younger Dryas re-advance. However, the thickness of the ice sheet is less well constrained inland from the ... -
A conjugate fault revealed by the destructive Mw 5.6 (November 21, 2022) Cianjur earthquake, West Java, Indonesia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)On 21 November 2022, a destructive earthquake (Mw 5.6) struck Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia, resulting in at least 321 deaths, damage to 47,000 buildings, and economic losses of up to 7.7 trillion Indonesian Rupiahs (∼US ... -
Consistent fluctuations in intermediate water temperature off the coast of Greenland and Norway during Dansgaard-Oeschger events
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-11-01)Rapid warmings epitomize the Dansgaard-Oeschger events that are recorded in Greenland ice cores and imprinted in ocean sediment cores. While the abrupt climate changes appear connected to perturbations in sea ice and ocean ... -
Constraining the 3-D Geometry of Fold-Thrust Belts Using Section Balancing vs. 3-D Interpolative Structural and Probabilistic Modeling
(Journal article, 2023)Quantitative uncertainty analysis, 2-D and 3-D modeling of the subsurface, as well as their visualization form the basis for decision making in exploration, nuclear waste storage and seismic hazard assessment. Methods such ... -
Constraining the tectonic evolution of rifted continental margins by U–Pb calcite dating
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We employ U–Pb calcite dating of structurally-controlled fracture fills within crystalline Caledonian basement in western Norway to reveal subtle large-scale tectonic events that affected this rifted continental margin. ... -
A continent-wide detailed geological map dataset of Antarctica
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)A dataset to describe exposed bedrock and surficial geology of Antarctica has been constructed by the GeoMAP Action Group of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) and GNS Science. Our group captured existing ... -
Continuous and episodic sedimentation in western Norwegian fjord lakes. A Holocene climatic perspective
(Doctoral thesis, 2011-10-21)A Holocene chronology of hazardous events has been constructed in parallel with a new record of glacier variability from inner Nordfjord in western Norway, based on the analysis of seismic profiles and sediment cores from ... -
A continuous tephrostratigraphic record from the Labrador Sea spanning the last 65 ka
