• 3-D seismic images of an extensive igneous sill in the lower crust 

      Wrona, Thilo; Magee, Craig; Fossen, Haakon; Gawthorpe, Rob; Bell, Rebecca E.; Jackson, Christopher Aiden Lee; Faleide, Jan Inge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-31)
      When continents rift, magmatism can produce large volumes of melt that migrate upwards from deep below the Earth’s surface. To understand how magmatism impacts rifting, it is critical to understand how much melt is generated ...
    • From Caledonian collapse to North Sea Rift: The extended history of a metamorphic core complex 

      Wiest, Johannes; Wrona, Thilo; Bauck, Marit Stokke; Fossen, Haakon; Gawthorpe, Rob; Osmundsen, Per Terje; Faleide, Jan Inge (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Extensional systems evolve through different stages due to changes in the rheological state of the lithosphere. It is crucial to distinguish ductile structures formed before and during rifting, as both cases have important ...
    • Rift kinematics preserved in deep-time erosional landscape below the northern North Sea 

      Wrona, Thilo; Whittaker, Alexander C.; Bell, Rebecca E.; Gawthorpe, Rob; Fossen, Haakon; Jackson, Christopher A.-L.; Bauck, Marit Stokke (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Our understanding of continental rifting is, in large parts, derived from the stratigraphic record. This record is, however, incomplete as it does not often capture the geomorphic and erosional signal of rifting. New 3D ...
    • Seismic expression of shear zones: Insights from 2-D point-spread-function based convolution modelling 

      Wrona, Thilo; Fossen, Haakon; Lecomte, Isabelle; Eide, Christian Haug; Gawthorpe, Rob (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Shear zones are common strain localization structures in the middle and lower crust and play a major role during orogeny, transcurrent movements and rifting alike. Our understanding of crustal deformation depends on our ...
