A high-resolution study of Holocene paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic changes in the Nordic Seas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003-03-26)High-resolution records from IMAGES core MD95-2011 in the eastern Norwegian Sea provide evidence for relatively large- and small-scale high-latitude climate variability throughout the Holocene. During the early and ... -
High-resolution δ^18 O and assemblage analysis between 1949- and 2000 AD based on planktonic foraminifera from the Storegga Slide, eastern Norwegian Sea
(Master thesis, 2016-09-28)In this study are presented results from a high-resolution δ^18 O and assemblage analysis between 1949- and 2000 AD based on planktonic foraminifera from core GS13-182-01. The core was retrieved from the head of the Storegga ... -
Higher-order Hamilton–Jacobi perturbation theory for anisotropic heterogeneous media: dynamic ray tracing in Cartesian coordinates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)With a Hamilton–Jacobi equation in Cartesian coordinates as a starting point, it is common to use a system of ordinary differential equations describing the continuation of first-order derivatives of phase-space perturbations ... -
Higher-order Hamilton–Jacobi perturbation theory for anisotropic heterogeneous media: dynamic ray tracing in ray-centred coordinates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Dynamic ray tracing is a robust and efficient method for computation of amplitude and phase attributes of the high-frequency Green’s function. A formulation of dynamic ray tracing in Cartesian coordinates was recently ... -
A Highly Depleted and Subduction-Modified Mantle Beneath the Slow-Spreading Mohns Ridge
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The Mohns Ridge is a very slow-spreading ridge that, together with the Knipovich Ridge, marks the boundary between the North American and Eurasian plates in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea. In this study, we report the major ... -
High‐resolution chronology of 24 000‐year long cores from two lakes in the Polar Urals, Russia, correlated with palaeomagnetic inclination records with a distinct event about 20 000 years ago
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Based on radiocarbon dating, a tephra horizon, varve counts and palaeomagnetism, detailed age models covering the last ~24 k cal a bp, have been developed for the stratigraphy in the lakes Bolshoye Shchuchye and Maloye ... -
Holocene debris flows recognized in a lacustrine sedimentary succession: sedimentology, chronostratigraphy and cause of triggering
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003)This study focuses on the sedimentary characteristics and the chronostratigraphy of Holocene massflow deposits recognized in a lake-fill sedimentary succession. These deposits in lake Ulvådalsvatnet, western Norway, are ... -
Holocene forvitringsrater på fjelloverflater i Hereiane, Hardanger
(Master thesis, 2016-05-28)The Schmidt hammer has been used for relative dating for several decades. In the recent years scientists have approached the study field from a different angle, trying to set up a calibrated dating curve by using the ... -
Holocene glacier variability and Neoglacial hydroclimate at Ålfotbreen, western Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-02)Glaciers and small ice caps respond rapidly to climate perturbations (mainly winter precipitation, and summer temperature), and the mass-balance of glaciers located in western Norway is governed mainly by winter precipitation ... -
Holocene multi-proxy environmental reconstruction from lake Hakluytvatnet, Amsterdamøya Island, Svalbard (79.5°N)
(Journal article, 2018-03)High resolution proxy records of past climate are sparse in the Arctic due to low organic production that restricts the use of radiocarbon dating and challenging logistics that make data collection difficult. Here, we ... -
Holocene skredavsetninger i Halsafjorden, Nordmøre
(Master thesis, 2022-12-09)Hovedformålet med denne masteroppgaven er å avdekke og datere holocene skredavsetninger i Halsafjorden i forbindelse med prosjektet «Ferjefri E39». Ferjefri-E39 prosjektet er et samarbeidsprosjekt mellom Statens Vegvesen, ... -
Holocene skredhendingar i Sulafjorden og på Hareidlandet, Sunnmøre
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Masteroppgåva har som formål å undersøkje om det er ein potensiell samanheng mellom observerte holocene skredhendingar og jordskjelv eller om det er tsunami, i Sulafjorden og i innsjøsedimenter på Hareidlandet. Problemstillinga ... -
Holocene variations in atmospheric circulation in the North Atlantic region reconstructed from lake sediments
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-06-17)Holocene variations in atmospheric circulation in the North Atlantic region have been reconstructed, based on three individual lake sediment studies from sites along the coast of Norway and Svalbard. This thesis contributes ... -
Homotopy analysis of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation for seismic wavefield modeling in strongly scattering media
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We present an application of the homotopy analysis method for solving the integral equations of the Lippmann-Schwinger type, which occurs frequently in acoustic and seismic scattering theory. In this method, a series ... -
Homotopy method for seismic modeling in strongly scattering acoustic media with density variation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The wave equation for acoustic media with variable density and velocity can be transformed into an integral equation of the Lippmann-Schwinger type; but for a 4-dimensional state vector involving the gradient of the pressure ... -
Homotopy scattering series for seismic forward modelling with variable density and velocity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We have derived a convergent scattering series solution for the frequency-domain wave equation in acoustic media with variable density and velocity. The convergent scattering series solution is based on the homotopy analysis ... -
How is a turbidite actually deposited?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The deposition of a classic turbidite by a surge-type turbidity current, as envisaged by conceptual models, is widely considered a discrete event of continuous sediment accumulation at a falling rate by the gradually waning ... -
How post-salt sediment flux and progradation rate influence salt tectonics on rifted margins: Insights from geodynamic modelling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Continental rifted margins can be associated with widespread and thick salt deposits, which are often formed during the final stages of rifting, prior to breakup. These salt-bearing margins are typically characterized by ... -
How well can near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) measure sediment organic matter in multiple lakes?
