Proterozoic Deep Carbon—Characterisation, Origin and the Role of Fluids during High-Grade Metamorphism of Graphite (Lofoten–Vesterålen Complex, Norway)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Graphite formation in the deep crust during granulite facies metamorphism is documented in the Proterozoic gneisses of the Lofoten–Vesterålen Complex, northern Norway. Graphite schist is hosted in banded gneisses dominated ... -
Hydrothermal activity fuels microbial sulfate reduction in deep and distal marine settings along the Arctic Mid Ocean Ridges
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Microbial sulfate reduction is generally limited in the deep sea compared to shallower marine environments, but cold seeps and hydrothermal systems are considered an exception. Here, we report sulfate reduction rates and ... -
Reconstructing uplift signals from sediment supply and tectonostratigraphy in a clastic shelf, Early Paleogene Shetland Platform
(Doctoral thesis, 2024-06-25)Sedimentære bassenger er viktige arkiver for planetens geodynamikk og klima. Kompleksiteten til dette registeret innebærer dog at det er en ikke-triviell oppgave å ekstrahere tektoniske og klimatiske svingninger, noe som ... -
Stratigraphic expression of the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum climate event during long-lived transient uplift—An example from a shallow to deep-marine clastic system in the Norwegian Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-20)Seismic geomorphology and stratigraphic analysis can reveal how source-to-sink systems dynamically respond to climatic and tectonic forcing. This study uses seismic reflection data from the Norwegian Sea to investigate the ... -
A new deglacial climate and sea-level record from 20 to 8 ka from IODP381 site M0080, Alkyonides Gulf, eastern Mediterranean
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Records of relative sea-level rise for the last deglaciation are mostly limited to coral reef records and geophysical model estimates, but observational data from regions with temperate climates is sparse. We present a new ... -
Seismic interpretation of sill complexes in sedimentary basins: Implications for the sub-sill imaging problem
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Application of 3D-seismic reflection-data to igneous systems in sedimentary basins has led to a revolution in the understanding of mafic sill-complexes. However, there is considerable uncertainty on how geometries and ... -
Sedimentology and reservoir properties of tabular and erosive offshore transition deposits in wave-dominated, shallow-marine strata: Book cliffs, USA
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Facies models for wave-dominated shorelines include an ‘offshore transition zone’ between shelfal mudstones and nearshore shoreface sandstones. Offshore transition-zone deposits are commonly tabular sandstone beds interbedded ... -
Distribution of discontinuous Mudstone beds within wavedominated shallow-marine deposits: Star point sandstone and blackhawk formation, Eastern Utah
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Deposits of wave-dominated shorelines are typically considered to act as relatively simple hydrocarbon reservoirs and are commonly modeled as “tanks of sand.” However, important heterogeneities that can act as barriers to ... -
Using microcomputed tomography (μCT) to count varves in lake sediment sequences: Application to Lake Sagtjernet, Eastern Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Varved lake sediments are one of the most important natural archives that allow annual resolution paleoclimate reconstructions. Conventional varve counting techniques use thin sections to manually identify lamina. However, ... -
Alkaline sill intrusions in sedimentary basins: emplacement of the Mussentuchit Wash Sill in San Rafael Swell, Utah
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Sills are important components of magmatic plumbing systems because of their role in magma storage. Previous studies have indirectly investigated sill propagation and architecture by using laboratory experiments, remote ... -
Sea Ice Variability in a Warmer Past: Last Interglacial Paleoceanography of the (Sub)Arctic Oceans
(Doctoral thesis, 2024-05-13)Det omfattende og permanente havisdekket som i dag karakteriserer det Arktiske havet er i rask endring med en havoverflate som uunngåelig er i endring fra hvit til blå. Forståelse for en slik omfattende endring og dets ... -
Sea ice variability in the North Atlantic subpolar gyre throughout the last interglacial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The Last Interglacial period, Marine Isotope Stage 5e (MIS 5e ∼116–128 ka), is thought to have had a warmer, but less stable climate than the present interglacial. One key factor that has the potential to influence the ... -
Ecology and genomic diversity of iron-oxidizing bacteria at Arctic deep-sea hydrothermal vents: Lessons from genome-resolved metagenomics and microscopy
(Doctoral thesis, 2024-05-08)Jernoksiderende bakterier er globalt utbredt og har betydelig innvirkning på syklusen av jern i miljøet. Imidlertid har få slike bakterier blitt dyrket i laboratoriet og det finnes lite kunnskap om hvordan ulike miljøforhold ... -
Characterization and Correction of Evaporative Artifacts in Speleothem Fluid Inclusion Isotope Analyses as Applied to a Stalagmite From Borneo
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Fluid inclusion water isotope measurements in speleothems have great potential for paleoclimate studies as they enable the reconstruction of precipitation dynamics and land temperatures. Several previous observations, ... -
Dansgaard–Oeschger events in climate models: review and baseline Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS3) protocol
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Dansgaard–Oeschger (D–O) events, millennial-scale climate oscillations between stadial and interstadial conditions (of up to 10–15 ∘C in amplitude at high northern latitudes), occurred throughout the Marine Isotope Stage ... -
Nitrite accumulation and anammox bacterial niche partitioning in Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge sediments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)By consuming ammonium and nitrite, anammox bacteria form an important functional guild in nitrogen cycling in many environments, including marine sediments. However, their distribution and impact on the important substrate ... -
Deglaciation of the highest mountains in Scandinavia at the Younger Dryas–Holocene transition: evidence from surface exposure-age dating of ice-marginal moraines
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Surface exposure–age dating was applied to rock surfaces associated with ice-marginal moraines at elevations of ~1520–1780 m a.s.l. on the slopes of Galdhøpiggen and Glittertinden, the two highest mountains in Scandinavia ... -
Listvenite formation at Gråberget, east-central Norway. A natural analogue for geological CO2 sequestration involving sulphide mineralization
