• CorA is a copper repressible surface-associated copper(I)-binding protein produced in Methylomicrobium album BG8 

      Johnson, Kenneth; Ve, Thomas; Larsen, Øivind; Pedersen, Rolf B.; Lillehaug, Johan R.; Jensen, Harald B.; Helland, Ronny; Karlsen, Odd André (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-03)
      CorA is a copper repressible protein previously identified in the methanotrophic bacterium Methylomicrobium album BG8. In this work, we demonstrate that CorA is located on the cell surface and binds one copper ion per ...
    • Energy landscapes shape microbial communities in hydrothermal systems on the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge 

      Dahle, Håkon; Økland, Ingeborg Elisabet; Thorseth, Ingunn Hindenes; Pedersen, Rolf B.; Steen, Ida Helene (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-01-09)
      Methods developed in geochemical modelling combined with recent advances in molecular microbial ecology provide new opportunities to explore how microbial communities are shaped by their chemical surroundings. Here, we ...
    • A Highly Depleted and Subduction-Modified Mantle Beneath the Slow-Spreading Mohns Ridge 

      Bjerga, Anders; Stubseid, Håvard Hallås; Pedersen, Leif-Erik Rydland; Beinlich, Andreas Michael; Pedersen, Rolf B. (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 ...
    • Hydrothermal vent fields and chemosynthetic biota on the world's deepest seafloor spreading centre 

      Connelly, Douglas P.; Copley, Jaonathan T.; Murton, Bramley J.; Stansfield, Kate; Tyler, Paul A.; German, Cristopher R.; Van Dover, Cindy L.; Amon, Diva; Furlong, Maaten; Grindlay, Nancy; Hayman, Nicholas; Hühnerbach, Veit; Judge, Maria; Le Bas, Tim; McPhail, Stephen; Meier, Alexandra; Nakamura, Koichi; Nye, Verity; Pebody, Miles; Pedersen, Rolf B.; Plouviez, Sophia; Sands, Carla; Searle, Roger C.; Stevenson, Peter; Taws, Sarah; Wilcox, Sally (Journal article, 2012-01-10)
      The Mid-Cayman spreading centre is an ultraslow-spreading ridge in the Caribbean Sea. Its extreme depth and geographic isolation from other mid-ocean ridges offer insights into the effects of pressure on hydrothermal ...
    • The influence of vent systems on pelagic eukaryotic micro-organism composition in the Nordic Seas 

      Olsen, Bernt Rydland; Troedsson, Christofer; Hadziavdic, Kenan; Pedersen, Rolf B.; Rapp, Hans Tore (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04)
    • Mapping Microbial Abundance and Prevalence to Changing Oxygen Concentration in Deep-Sea Sediments Using Machine Learning and Differential Abundance 

      Møller, Tor Einar; Moine-Bauer, Sven Le; Hannisdal, Bjarte; Zhao, Rui; Baumberger, Tamara; Roerdink, Desiree Lisette; Dupuis, Amandine; Thorseth, Ingunn Hindenes; Pedersen, Rolf B.; Jørgensen, Steffen Leth (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Oxygen constitutes one of the strongest factors explaining microbial taxonomic variability in deep-sea sediments. However, deep-sea microbiome studies often lack the spatial resolution to study the oxygen gradient and ...
    • Radiation damage allows identification of truly inherited zircon 

      Bjerga, Anders; Stubseid, Håvard Hallås; Pedersen, Leif-Erik Rydland; Pedersen, Rolf B. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Many studies have reported U-Pb dates of zircon that are older than the igneous rocks that contain them, and they are therefore thought to be inherited from older rock complexes. Their presence has profound geodynamic ...
    • The Seven Sisters Hydrothermal System: First Record of Shallow Hybrid Mineralization Hosted in Mafic Volcaniclasts on the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge 

      Marques, Ana Filipa Alfaia; Roerdink, Desiree; Baumberger, Tamara; de Ronde, Cornel; Ditchburn, Robert; Denny, Alden Ross; Thorseth, Ingunn Hindenes; Økland, Ingeborg; Lilley, Marvin D.; Whitehouse, Martin, J.; Pedersen, Rolf B. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      We document the discovery of an active, shallow, seafloor hydrothermal system (known as the Seven Sisters Vent Field) hosted in mafic volcaniclasts at a mid-ocean ridge setting. The vent field is located at the southern ...
    • Upper cretaceous-paleogene stratigraphy and development of the Mímir High, Vøring transform margin, Norwegian Sea 

      Polteau, Stephane; Planke, Sverre; Zastrozhnov, Dmitrii; Abdelmalak, Mohamed Mansour; Lebedeva-Ivanova, Nina; Eckhoff Planke, Ellen; Svensen, Henrik; Mazzini, Adriano; Gernigon, Laurent; Myklebust, Reidun; Kjølhamar, Bent; Pedersen, Rolf B.; Sandstå, Nils Rune; Bünz, Stefan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Transform margins represent strike-slip type of plate boundaries that form during continental breakup and initial ocean opening. They are often characterized by margin-parallel highs with exposed pre- and syn-rift sequences. ...
    • Volcanic evolution of an ultraslow-spreading ridge 

      Stubseid, Håvard Hallås; Bjerga, Anders; Haflidason, Haflidi; Pedersen, Leif-Erik Rydland; Pedersen, Rolf B. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Nearly 30% of ocean crust forms at mid-ocean ridges where the spreading rate is less than 20 mm per year. According to the seafloor spreading paradigm, oceanic crust forms along a narrow axial zone and is transported away ...
