Provenance and transport of supraglacial debris revealed by variations in debris geochemistry on Khumbu Glacier, Nepal Himalaya
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The origin of supraglacial debris covers is often conceptualised as the formation of a surface lag by melt-out of englacial debris from slow-moving ice, where complexity arises from feedback between debris thickness and ... -
Transient Deep Ocean Cooling in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean at the Eocene-Oligocene Transition
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)At the Eocene-Oligocene Transition (EOT), approximately 34 million years ago, Earth abruptly transitioned to a climate state sufficiently cool for Antarctica to sustain large ice sheets for the first time in tens to hundreds ... -
Microseismic wavefield modelling in anisotropic elastic media using integral equation method
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)In this paper, we present a frequency-domain volume integral method to model the microseismic wavefield in heterogeneous anisotropic-elastic media. The elastic wave equation is written as an integral equation of the ... -
"Candidatus Subterrananammoxibiaceae," a New Anammox Bacterial Family in Globally Distributed Marine and Terrestrial Subsurfaces
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Bacteria specialized in anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) are widespread in many anoxic habitats and form an important functional guild in the global nitrogen cycle by consuming bio-available nitrogen for energy rather ... -
Case study of combined marine- and land-based passive seismic surveying in front of Nordenskiöldbreen outlet glacier, Adolfbukta, Svalbard
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Glaciers generate seismic waves due to calving and fracturing, meaning that recording and following event classification can be used to monitor glacier dynamics. Our aim with this study is to analyse seismic data acquired ... -
Multi-proxy speleothem-based reconstruction of mid-MIS 3 climate in South Africa
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The southern coast of South Africa displays a highly dynamical climate as it is at the convergence of the Atlantic and Indian oceans, and it is located near the subtropical/temperate zone boundary with seasonal influence ... -
Future state of Norwegian glaciers: Estimating glacier mass balance and equilibrium line responses to projected 21st century climate change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Glaciers and ice caps in Norway are presently undergoing mass loss, areal reduction, and frontal retreat, mainly a result of increased summer ablation due to rising summer temperatures over Scandinavia, especially after ... -
Glacier thinning, recession and advance, and the associated evolution of a glacial lake between 1966 and 2021 at Austerdalsbreen, western Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The Jostedalsbreen is the largest ice cap in Norway and mainland Europe. Rapid retreat of many of its outlet glaciers since the 2000s has led to the formation of several glacial lakes. Processes causing the formation and ... -
Coastal permafrost was massively eroded during the Bølling-Allerød warm period
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The Bølling-Allerød interstadial (14,700–12,900 years before present), during the last deglaciation, was characterized by rapid warming and sea level rise. Yet, the response of the Arctic terrestrial cryosphere during this ... -
Mechanical properties of selected granitoids along the Karora hydropower project, Besham, Northern Pakistan: Insights from petrography and joint analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The stability of tunnel site depends upon the deformation behaviors of the surrounding rocks, including joint density, mineral composition, micro cracks, and grain boundaries. The aim of this study was to analyze the ... -
Limited exchange between the deep Pacific and Atlantic oceans during the warm mid-Pliocene and Marine Isotope Stage M2 “glaciation”
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The Piacenzian stage (3.6–2.6 Ma) of the Pliocene is the most recent period where Earth experienced sustained intervals of global warmth analogous to predicted near-future climates. Despite considerable efforts to characterize ... -
Temperature variation in caves and its significance for subterranean ecosystems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Climate change affects all ecosystems, but subterranean ecosystems are repeatedly neglected from political and public agendas. Cave habitats are home to unknown and endangered species, with low trait variability and intrinsic ... -
Dansgaard–Oeschger events in climate models: review and baseline Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS3) protocol
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Dansgaard–Oeschger (D–O) events, millennial-scale climate oscillations between stadial and interstadial conditions (of up to 10–15 ∘C in amplitude at high northern latitudes), occurred throughout the Marine Isotope Stage ... -
Sea ice variability in the North Atlantic subpolar gyre throughout the last interglacial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The Last Interglacial period, Marine Isotope Stage 5e (MIS 5e ∼116–128 ka), is thought to have had a warmer, but less stable climate than the present interglacial. One key factor that has the potential to influence the ... -
Characterization and Correction of Evaporative Artifacts in Speleothem Fluid Inclusion Isotope Analyses as Applied to a Stalagmite From Borneo
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Fluid inclusion water isotope measurements in speleothems have great potential for paleoclimate studies as they enable the reconstruction of precipitation dynamics and land temperatures. Several previous observations, ... -
Using microcomputed tomography (μCT) to count varves in lake sediment sequences: Application to Lake Sagtjernet, Eastern Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Varved lake sediments are one of the most important natural archives that allow annual resolution paleoclimate reconstructions. Conventional varve counting techniques use thin sections to manually identify lamina. However, ... -

Reconstructing surface mass balance from the englacial stratigraphy of the Greenland Ice Sheet
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-09-30)Interiøren av isflakene består av mange lag akkumulert snø, hvis tykkelse avhenger av overflatemassebalanse (OMB) fra fortiden og effekten av dynamisk tynning etter lagenes avsetning. Denne oppgaven undersøker påvirkningen ... -
Seismic modelling of the stratigraphic architecture of syn-rift deep-water channel complexes in the Corinth Rift, Greece
(Master thesis, 2022-08-03)Deep-water systems in rift basins lack extensive research because they tend to be buried in the subsurface making them hard to study directly. Rare, exhumed deep-water syn-rift depositional systems can therefore provide ...
