CO2 Leakage Risk through Remobilized Cenozoic Sediments in the Northern North Sea
(Master thesis, 2024-12-18)Climate change is one of the biggest challenges faced today. One of the possible solutions to mitigate this challenge is the secure storage of CO2 in the subsurface. Remobilized Cenozoic sediments contain large sand volumes ... -
The collapse of the Caledonian orogen in SW Norway: Insights from quartz textures
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Extensional collapse is a common late-to post-collisional feature of orogens. It is particularly prominent in the SW Scandinavian Caledonides, where extensional detachments formed progressively from the initial reactivation ... -
Coastal lake sediments from Arctic Svalbard suggest colder summers are stormier
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The Arctic is rapidly losing its sea ice cover while the region warms faster than anywhere else on Earth. As larger areas become ice-free for longer, winds strengthen and interact more with open waters. Ensuing higher waves ... -
The impact of ice-ocean interaction on glacier stability
(Doctoral thesis, 2023-03-31)Havnivåstigning på grunn av dagens klimaoppvarming krever handling fra samfunnet. Hovedusikkerheten i estimatene for havnivåbidraget fra Grønlandsisen grunner i de dy- namiske prosessene som finner sted i grensesnittet ... -
How does a change in climate variability impact the Greenland ice sheet surface mass balance?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Given the long response time of ice sheets, simulations of the Greenland ice sheet typically exceed the availability of input climate data to reliably simulate the fast processes underlying surface mass balance. Strong ... -
Revising chronological uncertainties in marine archives using global anthropogenic signals: a case study on the oceanic 13C Suess effect
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Marine sediments are excellent archives for reconstructing past changes in climate and ocean circulation. Overlapping with instrumental records, they hold the potential to elucidate natural variability and contextualize ... -
A solution for constraining past marine Polar Amplification
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Most climate proxies of sea surface temperatures suffer from severe limitations when applied to cold temperatures that characterize Arctic environments. These limitations prevent us from constraining uncertainties for some ... -
Fra istidene til storpolitikken-Klima-forskningen ved Institutt for geovitenskap
(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 ... -
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 ... -
Simulating surface mass balance for Jostedalsbreen from 1971-2100

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 ...
