• Coupling Crustal-Scale Rift Architecture With Passive Margin Salt Tectonics: A Geodynamic Modeling Approach 

      Pichel, Leonardo Muniz; Huismans, Ritske Sipke; Gawthorpe, Rob; Faleide, Jan Inge; Theunissen, Thomas Louis Roger Dominique (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Continental rifted margins are often associated with widespread, thick evaporite (i.e., salt) deposits and pronounced salt tectonics. The majority of salt basins formed during the latest stages of rifting, prior to continental ...
    • Crustal domains in the Western Barents Sea 

      Shulgin, Alexey A; Faleide, Jan Inge; Mjelde, Rolf; Breivik, Asbjørn Johan; Huismans, Ritske Sipke (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The crustal architecture of the Barents Sea is still enigmatic due to complex evolution during the Timanian and Caledonian orogeny events, further complicated by several rifting episodes. In this study we present the new ...
    • Crustal structure and erosion of the Lofoten/Vesterålen shelf, northern Norwegian margin 

      Breivik, Asbjørn Johan; Faleide, Jan Inge; Mjelde, Rolf; Flueh, Ernst; Murai, Yoshio (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The Norwegian continental shelf has been through several rift phases since the Caledonian orogeny. Early Cretaceous rifting created the largest sedimentary basins, and Early Cenozoic continental breakup between East Greenland ...
    • 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 ...
    • How post-salt sediment flux and progradation rate influence salt tectonics on rifted margins: Insights from geodynamic modelling 

      Pichel, Leonardo Muniz; Huismans, Ritske Sipke; Gawthorpe, Rob; Faleide, Jan Inge (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Continental rifted margins can be associated with widespread and thick salt deposits, which are often formed during the final stages of rifting, prior to breakup. These salt-bearing margins are typically characterized by ...
    • Late Jurassic to Late Cretaceous canyons on the Måløy Slope: Source to sink fingerprints on the northernmost North Sea rift margin, Norway 

      Bauck, Marit Stokke; Faleide, Jan Inge; Fossen, Haakon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The Måløy Slope is a key area for studying the connection between onshore and offshore geology of South Norway. It has functioned as an area of bypass, erosion and deposition between the Norwegian mainland source area and ...
    • Late-syn- to post-rift salt tectonics on wide rifted margins—Insights from geodynamic modeling 

      Pichel, Leonardo Muniz; Huismans, Ritske Sipke; Gawthorpe, Rob; Faleide, Jan Inge; Theunissen, Thomas Louis Roger Dominique (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Rifted margins are often associated with widespread and thick evaporite (salt) deposits and pronounced salt tectonics. The largest salt basins formed during the latest stages of rifting, immediately prior to continental ...
    • Shallow-water hydrothermal venting linked to the Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum 

      Berndt, Christian; Planke, Sverre; Alvarez Zarikian, Carlos A.; Frieling, Joost; Jones, Morgan Thomas; Millett, John M.; Brinkhuis, Henk; Bünz, Stefan; Svensen, Henrik Hovland; Longman, Jack; Scherer, Reed P.; Karstens, Jens; Manton, Ben; Nelissen, Mei; Reed, Brandon; Faleide, Jan Inge; Huismans, Ritske Sipke; Agarwal, Amar; Andrews, Graham D.M.; Betlem, Peter; Bhattacharya, Joyeeta; Chatterjee, Sayantani; Christopoulou, Marialena; Clementi, Vincent J.; Ferré, Eric C.; Filina, Irina Y.; Guo, Pengyuan; Harper, Dustin T.; Lambart, Sarah; Mohn, Geoffroy; Nakaoka, Reina; Tegner, Christian; Varela, Natalia; Wang, Mengyuan; Xu, Weimu; Yager, Stacy L. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) was a global warming event of 5–6 °C around 56 million years ago caused by input of carbon into the ocean and atmosphere. Hydrothermal venting of greenhouse gases produced in ...
