Abrupt changes in sea ice and dynamics of Dansgaard-Oeschger events
(The University of Bergen, 2017-12-01)Changes in sea ice are proposed as an important component in Dansgaard-Oeschger events; the abrupt climate change events that occurred repeatedly during the last ice age. Paleoclimatic reconstructions suggest an expansion ...Doctoral thesis -
Accretionary history of Lower Ordovician island arc complexes on Bømlo: evidence from detrital zircon dating and geochemical data
(The University of Bergen, 2017-06-13)The provenance studies of sedimentary sequences associated with island arc complexes on Bømlo within the ophiolitic terrain of SW Norway has demonstrated that the provenance signature of these sedimentary rocks changed ...Master thesis -
Acoustic Propagation Underneath the Arctic Sea-ice
(The University of Bergen, 2018-10-04)The main objective of this project is to study the effect of sea-ice on underwater acoustic wave propagation. Three main parameters define how acoustic waves react to the presence of seaice: (i) the roughness of the ...Doctoral thesis -

Ambient noise levels and detection threshold in Norway
(Springer, 2016-07)Ambient seismic noise is caused by a number of sources in specific frequency bands. The quantification of ambient noise makes it possible to evaluate station and network performance. We evaluate noise levels in Norway from ...Journal article -

Anatomy and allostratigraphy of deep-marine Mount Messenger Formation (Miocene), eastern-margin Taranaki Basin, New Zealand
(The University of Bergen, 2003)Purpose of study: Sedimentological description of outcropping deep-water clastics within Mount Messenger Formation. Study area: North-Taranaki coastal region, North Island, New Zealand. Methodology: Mapping on foot and ...Master thesis -
Anisotropic Properties of a Mid-Lithospheric Discontinuity in eastern North America
(The University of Bergen, 2017-06-23)During the last few years the occurrence of a mid-lithospheric discontinuity (MLD) has been observed in lithospheric studies of cratons. Studies using receiver functions have focused mainly on extracting high resolution ...Master thesis -
Antropogen påvirkning og bæreevne i turistgrotter: Grønligrotta, Mo i Rana
(The University of Bergen, 2018-06-20)Grønligrotta er den eneste turistgrotta i Norge med innlagt belysning og god tilrettelegging for turister. Hensikten med denne masteroppgaven har vært å undersøke hvordan turistene påvirker miljøet i grotta, og om dette ...Master thesis -
Applied Structural Geology – Case Studies of Underground Constructions and Rockslides
(The University of Bergen, 2008-02-26)An understanding of the structural elements in the sub-surface is of great importance when establishing new constructions in bedrock, or surveying areas prone to rockslides. In this thesis the focus has been on combining ...Doctoral thesis -
Arctic Holocene proxy climate database – New approaches to assessing geochronological accuracy and encoding climate variables
(Copernicus Publications, 2014-08-29)We present a systematic compilation of previously published Holocene proxy climate records from the Arctic. We identified 170 sites from north of 58° N latitude where proxy time series extend back at least to 6 cal ka (all ...Journal article -
Assessing linkages between ice sheet calving, subpolar gyre hydrography and deep water ventilation during the last glaciation
(The University of Bergen, 2017-06-23)It is commonly postulated that ice sheet dynamics and freshwater perturbations in the North Atlantic were linked to disruptions in deep water circulation and North Atlantic cooling in the past. However, the exact nature ...Master thesis -
Atmosphere-driven ice sheet mass loss paced by topography: Insights from modelling the south-western Scandinavian Ice Sheet
(Elsevier, 2018-09)Marine-terminating glaciers and ice streams are important controls of ice sheet mass balance. However, understanding of their long-term response to external forcing is limited by relatively short observational records of ...Journal article -
Basement structure and its influence on the structural configuration of the northern North Sea rift
(American Geophysical Union, 2017-06)The northern North Sea rift basin developed on a heterogeneous crust comprising structures inherited from the Caledonian orogeny and Devonian postorogenic extension. Integrating two‐dimensional regional seismic reflection ...Journal article -
Basin-scale architecture of deeply emplaced sill complexes: Jameson Land, East Greenland
(The Geological Society of London, 2016)Igneous sills are common components in rifted sedimentary basins globally. Much work has focused on intrusions emplaced at relatively shallow palaeodepths (0 – 1.5 km). However, owing to constraints of seismic reflection ...Journal article -
Bruddsystem og spenningsfelt tilknyttet tunneltraséen Ringveg Vest i Bergen
(The University of Bergen, 2003)Denne hovedfagsoppgaven er en del av forundersøkelsene som er utført i sammenheng med tunnelprosjektet Ringveg Vest i Bergen kommune, Hordaland, som har driftstart i 2005. Ringveg Vest er planlagt å ligge cirka 4 kilometer ...Master thesis -
Bruk av borekaksmateriale fra letebrønner til studier av erosjon i kvartær.
(The University of Bergen, 2016-06-15)Naustformasjonen er en glasialt derivert avsetning dannet gjennom de siste 2,8 millioner år (Ma) på midtnorsk sokkel. Formasjonen, som består av fem enheter (Naust-N, -A, -U, -S og - T), består av mektige klinoformer ...Master thesis -
Building up or out? Disparate sequence architectures along an active rift margin-Corinth rift, Greece
(The Geological Society of America, 2017-12)Early Pleistocene synrift deltas developed along the southern Corinth rift margin were deposited in a single, dominantly lacustrine depocenter and were subject to the same climate-related base-level and sediment supply ...Journal article -
Calendar year age estimates of Allerød - Younger Dryas sea-level oscillations at Os, western Norway
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2004)A detailed shoreline displacement curve documents the Younger Dryas transgression in western Norway. The relative sea-level rise was more than 9m in an area which subsequently experienced an emergence of almost 60 m. The ...Journal article
