(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Palaeoclimate research at The University of Bergen (UiB) has through the last 50 years been developed into a central research environment in Norwegian and international climate research. As a central element of the Bjerknes ... -
Sognefjorden in western Norway – physiography, geomorphology, marine levels and deglaciation history
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The landscape formation along Sognefjorden, Norway’s longest and the world’s second longest fjord, involves tectonic activity, glacial erosion during numerous Quaternary ice ages, and mass movements during interglacials ... -
Geofaglige vurderinger og kvantifisering av stislitasje i daler rundt Jostedalsbreen og i Jostedalsbreen nasjonalpark, Vestland fylke
(Master thesis, 2024-11-20)Det er forventet at det i fremtiden vil bli økt nedbør og høyere temperaturer, i tillegg til at flere turister vil komme til Vestlandet. En økt ferdsel vil kunne gi utfordringer knyttet til å bevare verneverdiene og ... -
Simulating surface mass balance for Jostedalsbreen from 1971-2100
(Master thesis, 2024-11-20) -
Sedimentology and reservoir properties of the Jurassic Cook Formation, in the Northeastern Norwegian North Sea
(Master thesis, 2024-11-20)Porosity and permeability vary significantly within the Lower Jurassic Cook Formation which is a problem when exploring for hydrocarbons or storage of CO2. Reservoir quality varies significantly from well to well, but the ... -
The Thermal Evolution of Western Norway Based on Multi-Sample Models of an Elevation Transect: Implications for the Formation of High-Elevation Low-Relief Surfaces on an Elevated Rifted Continental Margin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The post-Caledonian thermal and geomorphological evolution of onshore Western Norway is poorly understood, including the formation and age of the high-elevation low-relief surfaces seen across the Norwegian landscape. We ... -
Imaging along-strike variability in fault structure; insights from seismic modelling of the Maghlaq Fault, Malta
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Seismic modelling studies of outcrop analogues have proven a powerful method to provide a link between geology as observed at outcrop, and the interpretation of subsurface geology from seismic data. Seismic imaging of fault ... -
Lithofacies, petrography, and geochemistry of the Lamphun oceanic plate stratigraphy: As a record of the subduction history of Paleo-Tethys in Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai Suture Zone of Thailand
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The Mélange in Lamphun Province, situated in the southern region of the Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai Suture Zone (CMCRSZ), remains inadequately explored. This study employs field investigations and petrographic analysis to delineate ... -
Rekonstruksjon av deglasiasjonsforløpet på Andøya ved fjern-og feltkartlegning
(Master thesis, 2024-11-01)Sammendrag Denne masteroppgaven fokuserer på rekonstruksjon av deglasiasjonsforløpet på nordre Andøya ved hjelp av felt- og fjernkartlegging. Andøya, som ligger ved eggakanten, gir en unik mulighet til å studere de glasiale ... -
Quantifying earth system interactions during the last glacial period
(Master thesis, 2024-10-07)The earth system is a complex dynamical system, which makes it challenging to infer causal interactions and mechanism. Understanding causal interactions during periods of rapid climate change in the past is crucial for ... -
Adverse effects of crushed seafloor massive sulphide deposits on the boreal deep-sea sponge Geodia barretti Bowerbank, 1858 and its associated fauna
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Abundant mineral resources in the deep sea are prospected for mining for the global metal market. Seafloor massive sulphide (SMS) deposits along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge are one of the potential sources for these metals. The ... -
Late Glacial-Holocene glacier fluctuations on sub-Antarctic Kerguelen Archipelago (49°S) based on surface exposure dating with in situ cosmogenic nuclides
(Doctoral thesis, 2024-12-17)Vestavindsbeltet på den sørlige halvkule, mellom 40°S og 65°S, the Southern Hemisphere’s westerlies (SHW), hindres i liten grad av landmasser og utgjør derfor et belte av sterke vinder fra vest mot øst. Det har en sterk ... -
Unveiling the inherent physical-chemical dynamics: Direct measurements of hydrothermal fluid flow, heat, and nutrient outflow at the Tagoro submarine volcano (Canary Islands, Spain)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Tagoro is one of the few submarine volcanoes in the world that has been monitored since its early eruptive stage in 2011 to present day. After six multidisciplinary oceanographic cruises conducted between 2014 and 2023 to ... -
Jordskjelvstasjonen i Bergen gjennom 125 år
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Seismological studies in Norway initiated in the early 19th century, and since the 1890s, Bergen has been the focal point of Norwegian seismology. Initially, earthquake information was collected through questionnaires and ... -
The influence of glacial landscape evolution on Scandinavian ice-sheet dynamics and dimensions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The Scandinavian topography and bathymetry have been shaped by ice through numerous glacial cycles in the Quaternary. In this study, we investigate how the changing morphology has influenced the Scandinavian ice sheet (SIS) ... -
Sub-regional variability in the influence of ice-contact lakes on himalayan glaciers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Ice-contact lakes modify glacier geometry and dynamics by shifting the majority of mass loss from the ice surface to the terminus. Lake-terminating glaciers are known to experience greater thinning rates and higher velocities ... -
A 7000-year record of extreme flood events reconstructed from a threshold lake in southern Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Recent decades have witnessed a shift in the seasonality and frequency of river floods in Norway, primarily attributed to contemporary global warming. Such changes necessitate a more comprehensive understanding of climate-flood ... -
Fluid Inclusion Study of Antarctic Blue Ice Gypsum
(Master thesis, 2024-09-16)Gypsum, the most common sulfate mineral, has a hardness of 2 on the Mohs scale and is typically formed through seawater evaporation. However, a large aggregate of gypsum was discovered within blue ice moraines on the ... -
Stratigraphic and paleoceanographic alternations within a Mediterranean semi-enclosed, syn-rift basin during Marine Isotope Stage 5: The Gulf of Corinth, Greece
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The Gulf of Corinth represents an ideal setting for studying the impact of sea level changes and regional climate on a semi-enclosed, syn-rift basin. Here we investigate the stratigraphic and paleoceanographic variability ... -
