Growth of collisional orogens from small and cold to large and hot ‐ inferences from geodynamic models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)It is well documented that the interplay between crustal thickening and surface processes determines growth of continent-continent collision orogens from small and cold to large and hot. Additionally, studies have demonstrated ... -
Ultramafic rock carbonation: Constraints from listvenite core BT1B, Oman Drilling Project
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The occurrence of the quartz-carbonate alteration assemblage (listvenite) in ophiolites indicates that ultramafic rock represents an effective sink for dissolved CO2. However, the majority of earlier studies of ultramafic ... -
Earthquake statistics changed by typhoon-driven erosion
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Tectonics and climate-driven surface processes govern the evolution of Earth’s surface topography. Topographic change in turn influences lithospheric deformation, but the elementary scale at which this feedback can be ... -
Geochemical characterization of ophiolites in the Alpine-Himalayan Orogenic Belt: Magmatically and tectonically diverse evolution of the Mesozoic Neotethyan oceanic crust
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Ophiolites are important archives of oceanic crust development and preservation in the rock record, and the Alpine-Himalayan Orogenic Belt (AHOB) is one of the most comprehensive ophiolite depositories in earth’s history. ... -
Rotation, narrowing, and preferential reactivation of brittle structures during oblique rifting
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Occurrence of multiple faults populations with contrasting orientations in oblique continental rifts and passive margins has long sparked debate about relative timing of deformation events and tectonic interpretations. ... -
Sedimentation in a synclinal shallow-marine embayment: Coniacian of the North Sudetic Synclinorium, SW Poland
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)This study is a reconstruction of the Coniacian palaeogeographic and palaeoenvironmental development in the North Sudetic Basin, a synclinal trough within the Late Cretaceous Central European seaway linking the Boreal and ... -
Disentangling source of moisture driving glacier dynamics and identification of 8.2 ka event: evidence from pore water isotopes, Western Himalaya
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Two atmospheric circulation patterns, the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) and mid-latitude Westerlies control precipitation and thus glacier variability in the Himalaya. However, the role of the ISM and westerlies in controlling ... -
Geological control on dinosaurs’ rise to dominance: Late Triassic ecosystem stress by relative sea level change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The Late Triassic is enigmatic in terms of how terrestrial life evolved: it was the time when new groups arose, such as dinosaurs, lizards, crocodiles and mammals. Also, it witnessed a prolonged period of extinctions, ... -
Glacier and ocean variability in Ata Sund, west Greenland, since 1400 CE
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)To improve knowledge of marine-terminating glaciers in western Greenland, marine sediment cores from the Ata Sund fjord system, hosting two outlet glaciers, Eqip Sermia and Kangilerngata Sermia, were investigated. The main ... -
Microbial community structure in Arctic lake sediments reflect variations in Holocene climate conditions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The reconstruction of past climate variability using physical and geochemical parameters from lake sedimentary records is a well-established and widely used approach. These geological records are also known to contain large ... -
Citizen Seismology in the Arctic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Landslides, earthquakes and other natural disasters are expected to increase in the Arctic, yet our ability to make informed decisions about safety is tightly limited by lack of data. As part of the Integrated Arctic ... -
Sedimentary anatomy and hydrological record of relic fluvial deposits in a karst cave conduit
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This case study from the renowned Demänová Cave System in the Carpathians of Slovakia demonstrates that the conventional methods of fluvial sedimentology, combined with an allostratigraphic mapping and speleothem U-series ... -
Stable oxygen isotope reconstruction of temperature exposure of the Icelandic cod (Gadus morhua) stock over the last 100 years
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Increasing water temperatures are predicted around the globe, with high amplitudes of warming in Subarctic and Arctic regions where Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) populations currently flourish. We reconstructed oxygen isotope ... -
Palaeo-productivity record from Norwegian Sea enables North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) reconstruction for the last 8000 years
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The North Atlantic Oscillation is the dominant atmospheric driver of North Atlantic climate variability with phases corresponding to droughts and cold spells in Europe. Here, we exploit a suggested anti-correlation of North ... -
Chlamydial contribution to anaerobic metabolism during eukaryotic evolution
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The origin of eukaryotes is a major open question in evolutionary biology. Multiple hypotheses posit that eukaryotes likely evolved from a syntrophic relationship between an archaeon and an alphaproteobacterium based on ... -
The discovery of the Younger Dryas, and comments on the current meaning and usage of the term
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The Younger Dryas (YD) cold event was discovered in Denmark by Hartz and Mithers in 1904 and the term coined by Hartz in 1912. It was identified as a lacustrine clay bed containing plant macrofossils of an Arctic flora, ... -
Basement highs: definitions, characterisation and origins
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)A glossary of commonly used terms related to the geometric forms and geological settings of basement highs is presented to assist cross-disciplinary understanding, qualifying prefixes for the term basement are discussed ... -
Regional correlation and seismic stratigraphy of Triassic Strata in the Greater Barents Sea: implications for sediment transport in Arctic basins
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The Greater Barents Sea Basin (GBSB) in Arctic Russia and Norway is an intracratonic basin that accommodated an enormous amount of sediment during the Triassic. These deposits are up to 4.5 km thick over an area 2,500,000 ... -
Morphotectonic Evolution of Passive Margins Undergoing Active Surface Processes: Large-Scale Experiments Using Numerical Models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Extension of the continental lithosphere can lead to the formation of rifted margins with contrasting tectonic and geomorphologic characteristics. Many of these characteristics depend on the manner extension spatially ... -
The relationship between fluid flow, structures, and depositional architecture in sedimentary rocks: An example-based overview
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Fluid flow in the subsurface is fundamental in a variety of geological processes including volcanism, metamorphism, and mineral dissolution and precipitation. It is also of economic and societal significance given its ...
