      World‐class examples of fault‐controlled growth basins with associated syn‐kinematic sedimentary fill are developed in Upper Triassic prodelta to delta‐front deposits exposed at Kvalpynten, SW Edgeøya in East Svalbard. ...
    • Architecture, deformation style and petrophysical properties of growth fault systems: the Late Triassic deltaic succession of southern Edgeøya (East Svalbard) 

      Ogata, Kei; Mulrooney, Mark; Braathen, Alvar; Maher, Harmon; Osmundsen, Per Terje; Anell, Ingrid Margareta; Smyrak-Sikora, Aleksandra; Balsamo, Fabrizio (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-05-07)
      The Late Triassic outcrops on southern Edgeøya, East Svalbard, allow a multiscale study of syn‐sedimentary listric growth faults located in the prodelta region of a regional prograding system. At least three hierarchical ...

      Maher, Harmon; Senger, Kim; Braathen, Alvar; Mulrooney, Mark Joseph; Smyrak-Sikora, Aleksandra; Osmundsen, Per Terje; Ogata, Kei (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Cooling fracture orientations in diabase sills associated with the Cretaceous High Arctic Large Igneous Province and syn‐sedimentary Triassic faults help constrain a model for Svalbard's (NE Barents Shelf) Mesozoic stress ...
    • Petroleum, coal and research drilling onshore Svalbard: a historical perspective 

      Senger, Kim; Brugmans, Peter; Grundvåg, Sten-Andreas; Jochmann, Malte Michel; Nøttvedt, Arvid; Olaussen, Snorre; Skotte, Asbjørn; Smyrak-Sikora, Aleksandra (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The beginning of the Norwegian oil industry is often attributed to the first exploration drilling in the North Sea in 1966, the first discovery in 1967 and the discovery of the supergiant Ekofisk field in 1969. However, ...
    • Teaching with digital geology in the high Arctic: opportunities and challenges 

      Senger, Kim; Betlem, Peter; Grundvåg, Sten-Andreas; Horota, Rafael Kenji; Buckley, Simon John; Smyrak-Sikora, Aleksandra; Jochmann, Malte Michel; Birchall, Thomas; Janocha, Julian; Ogata, Kei; Kuckero, Lilith; Johannessen, Rakul Maria; Lecomte, Isabelle Christine; Cohen, Sarah M.; Olaussen, Snorre (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The Covid-19 pandemic occurred at a time of major revolution in the geosciences – the era of digital geology. Digital outcrop models (DOMs) acquired from consumer drones, processed using user-friendly photogrammetric ...
