Re-evaluation and extension of the Marine Isotope Stage 5 tephrostratigraphy of the Faroe Islands region: The cryptotephra record
(Elsevier, 2014-09-01)
Previous studies of marine sequences from the Faroe Islands region have identified a series of coarse-grained tephra horizons deposited during Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5. Here we reassess the MIS 5 tephrostratigraphy of ...
Nature of Palaeozoic extension in Lofoten, north Norwegian Continental Shelf: insights from 3-D seismic analysis of a Cordilleran-style metamorphic core complex
(Wiley, 2014-06)
Analyses of 3-D seismic data reveal that pre-Triassic basins are present underneath the Mesozoic North Træna Basin (Lofoten Margin, Norway). These are linked to a Cordilleran-style metamorphic core complex that developed ...
Evaluating balanced section restoration with thermochronology data: A case study from the Central Pyrenees
(American Geophysical Union, 2014-05-06)
We present a new method that can be used to quantitatively evaluate the consistency between
balanced section restorations and thermochronological data sets from orogenic belts. We have applied our
method to a crustal-scale ...
Sand textural control on shear-enhanced compaction bands in poorly-lithified sandstone
(David Publishing Company, 2014)
Sand textural control on SECB (shear-enhanced compaction band) formation is analyzed combining field observations,
detailed material characterization and mechanical testing for poorly lithified sandstone units in Provence ...
Disentangling rock record bias and common-cause from redundancy in the British fossil record
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-09-04)
The fossil record documents the history of life, but the reliability of that record has often been questioned. Spatiotemporal variability in sedimentary rock volume, sampling and research effort especially frustrates ...
Four billion years of ophiolites reveal secular trends in oceanic crust formation
(Elsevier, 2014-07)
We combine a geological, geochemical and tectonic dataset from 118 ophiolite complexes of the major global Phanerozoic orogenic belts with similar datasets of ophiolites from 111 Precambrian greenstone belts to construct ...
Simulating last interglacial climate with NorESM: role of insolation and greenhouse gases in the timing of peak warmth
(Copernicus Publications, 2014-07-10)
The last interglacial (LIG, ~130–116 ka, ka = 1000 yr ago) is characterized by high-latitude warming and is therefore often considered as a possible analogue for future warming. However, in contrast to predicted ...
Fluid migration pathways to seafloor seepage in inner Isfjorden and Adventfjorden, Svalbard
(Geological Society of Norway, 2014)
This study represents a marine baseline study for the Longyearbyen CO2 Lab, in which CO2 may be injected in the Upper Triassic–Middle Jurassic Kapp Toscana Group, which comprises several permeable beds. The target ...
Reconstruction of changes in the Weddell Sea sector of the Antarctic Ice Sheet since the Last Glacial Maximum
(Elsevier, 2014-09-15)
A robust understanding of Antarctic Ice Sheet deglacial history since the Last Glacial Maximum is important in order to constrain ice sheet and glacial-isostatic adjustment models, and to explore the forcing mechanisms ...
Extensional inheritance and surface processes as controlling factors of mountain belt structure
(WileyAmerican Geophysical Union, 2014-12)
Surface processes and inherited structures are widely regarded as factors that strongly influence the evolution of mountain belts. The first-order effects of these parameters have been studied extensively throughout the ...
