Brittle basement deformation during the Caledonian Orogeny observed by K-Ar geochronology of illite-bearing fault gouge in west-central Sweden
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)This study presents K-Ar ages of illite-bearing fault gouges in crystalline basement in central-western Sweden. Samples were taken from two faults that localized brittle deformation marginal to and within mafic dikes that ... -
Geological control on dinosaurs’ rise to dominance: Late Triassic ecosystem stress by relative sea level change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The Late Triassic is enigmatic in terms of how terrestrial life evolved: it was the time when new groups arose, such as dinosaurs, lizards, crocodiles and mammals. Also, it witnessed a prolonged period of extinctions, ... -
Nature of Palaeozoic extension in Lofoten, north Norwegian Continental Shelf: insights from 3-D seismic analysis of a Cordilleran-style metamorphic core complex
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 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 ... -
Salt decollement and rift inheritance controls on crustal deformation in orogens
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-09)We investigate the factors that control the shortening distribution and its evolution through time in orogenic belts using numerical models. We present self‐consistent high‐resolution numerical models that simulate the ...
