Crustal structure and erosion of the Lofoten/Vesterålen shelf, northern Norwegian margin
(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 ... -
Crustal structure and evolution of the Arctic Caledonides: Results fromcontrolled-source seismology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10)The continuation of the Caledonides into the Barents Sea has long been a subject of discussion, and two major orientations of the Caledonian deformation fronts have been suggested: NNW-SSE striking and NE-SW striking. A ... -
The crustal structure in the Northwest Atlantic region from receiver function inversion – Implications for basin dynamics and magmatism
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The Labrador Sea and Baffin Bay form an extinct Palaeogene oceanic spreading system, divided by a major continental transform, the Davis Strait, with the whole region defined as the Northwest Atlantic. The Davis Strait ... -
Impacts of seismic resolution on fault interpretation: Insights from seismic modelling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Seismic mapping of subsurface faults is hampered by factors such as seismic resolution, velocity control for depth conversion and human bias. Here, we explore the challenges and pitfalls related to interpreting normal ... -
Linking regional unconformities in the Barents Sea to compression-induced forebulge uplift at the Triassic-Jurassic transition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The Triassic-Jurassic transition marks an important change in the basin configuration of the Greater Barents Sea. A contiguous basin with km-thick sedimentary successions changed into a partitioned basin with uplift in the ... -
A new tectono-magmatic model for the Lofoten/Vesterålen Margin at the outer limit of the Iceland Plume influence
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10)The Early Eocene continental breakup was magma-rich and formed part of the North Atlantic Igneous Province. Extrusive and intrusive magmatism was abundant on the continental side, and a thick oceanic crust was produced up ...
