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 -
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 -
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 -
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 -
Calibration of seismic and well data: Towards Improved Quantitative Seismic Reservoir Characterisation of the Triassic to Middle-Jurassic Gullfaks Reservoir Units of the northern North Sea
(The University of Bergen, 2011-11-20)Abstract: Characterization and evaluation of (oil and gas) reservoirs is typically achieved using a combination of seismic and well data. It is therefore critical that the two data types are well calibrated to correct and ...Master thesis -
Calibration, validation and application of the foraminiferal Mg/Ca. Reconstructing the intermediate water masses structure and origin in the Western Tropical Atlantic
(The University of Bergen, 2015-05-22)The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) plays a central role in the northward distribution of heat. It is a key mechanism in the climatic system that needs to be further understood. Most studies focused on ...Doctoral thesis -
The Cenozoic western Svalbard margin: sediment geometry and sedimentary processes in an area of ultraslow oceanic spreading
(Springer, 2011-04-17)The northeastern high-latitude North Atlantic is characterised by the Bellsund and Isfjorden fans on the continental slope off west Svalbard, the asymmetrical ultraslow Knipovich spreading ridge and a 1,000 m deep rift ...Peer reviewedJournal article -
The chalk depositional system in the Central Graben – concepts of regional geology, sedimentology and stratigraphy

Characterisation of extensional faults in carbonate rocks (Suez Rift, Egypt); with particular focus on the role of shale smear
(The University of Bergen, 2012-04-27)The distribution, composition and flow-properties of fault core and shale smear along faults in carbonate reservoirs is less well understood compared to faults in siliciclastic rocks. This study uses field data to characterize ...Master thesis -
Characterization and Modelling of a faulted oil and gas field (Syria)
(The University of Bergen, 2013-06-16)The FC is a faulted oil and gas field located onshore, in the southeast of Syria along the Euphrates Graben. In the 2011, a static reservoir model was built by students of IFP School. The same database used in the 2011 ...Master thesis -
Characterizing the distribution of microbial sulfate reduction in Loki`s Castle hydrothermal system of the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge (AMOR)
(The University of Bergen, 2016-06-01)Studies on the distribution of microbial sulfate reduction, and its impact on the global carbon and sulfur cycle, have mostly been conducted in shallow and deep-marine sediments. Little is therefore known about the ecological ...Master thesis -
Chemical weathering on Eldsfjellet, Meland municipality, western Norway
(The University of Bergen, 2012-11-27)The Subject of this master thesis was to define the chemical weathering processes, create a weathering chain from sink to source and to evaluate the degree of weathering on Eldsfjellet, Meland municipality in western Norway. ...Master thesis
