Facies, Geometry and Paleogeography of the Eocene Battfjellet Formation, Longyearbyen Area, Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)This MSc thesis investigates the facies and architecture variability of the Paleogene Battfjellet Formation in the Longyearbyen area on Svalbard, with the aim to complement the regional framework of the formation. Together ... -
Isavsmeltningshistorie og havnivåendringer på Værlandet, nord for munningen av Sognefjorden
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Forskning på havnivå og isavsmeltinghistorie tilbake i tid er viktig for å forstå hvilke prosesser som har påvirket utviklingsforløpet. Dette kan så brukes til å modellere fremtidige endringer i havnivå. Det er i dette ... -
Evolution of ore-forming fluids in a post-collisional porphyry Cu-Au system: A case study from the Bučim deposit, Republic of North Macedonia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The Bučim porphyry Cu-Au deposit is situated in the westernmost part of the Serbo-Macedonian Massif, Republic of North Macedonia. The deposit is hosted by Precambrian gneisses with tectonically imbedded rare lenses of ... -
Elastic Imaging and Full Waveform Inversion for Carbon Sequestration
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Geological sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) is essential to reduce the effects of global warming. However, this requires careful monitoring. Reflection seismics collects data from a large area and is therefore the ... -
Impact of runoff temporal distribution on ice dynamics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Record highs of meltwater production at the surface of the Greenland ice sheet have been recorded with a high recurrence over the last decades. Those melt seasons with longer durations, larger intensities, or with both ... -
Facies and sedimentary architectures in the Upper Silurian Ringerike Group, Eastern Norway
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01) -
Structure and evolution of central and south Hadeland, the Oslo Region
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)The Oslo Region has been influenced by at least two major tectonic events: Contraction and formation of the Caledonian orogeny as a result of plate convergence and, later, extension and formation of the Oslo Graben in ... -
Seismic imaging of faults and fault zones: insight through modelling for improved interpretation
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Faults and fault zones in the subsurface can create problems in reservoir production and well placement if gone un-detected because of restriction of fluid flow or affecting the ability of the reservoir to hold fluids. In ... -
Facies and sedimentary architectures in the Upper Silurian Ringerike Group, Eastern Norway

Fault Gouge Characterization in the Øygarden Complex in SW Norway - Relevance for offshore CO2 storage
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Pre-existing structures such as faults are common within the North Sea sedimentary basin. Fault-bounded reservoirs provide significant closures for subsurface storing of CO2. An understanding of faults and fault rocks is ... -
Kartlegging og modellering av skred ved Trollstigen i Møre og Romsdal – og hvordan de kan bli påvirket av et klima i endring
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Skred er en av de største naturfarene i Norge og rammer både mennesker og infrastruktur. Trollstigen i Møre og Romsdal er en av Norges mest kjente turistattraksjoner, og veien er utsatt for flere skredhendelser i året som ... -

Skredkartlegging og 10Be-eksponeringsdatering av fjellskred i Bondhusdalen, Kvinnherad kommune
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)I Norge er skred den naturfaren som tar flest menneskeliv. Skred er en landskapsendrende prosess, med hurtige massebevegelser av bergartsfragmenter, løsmasser, vann og snø. Ulike skredprosesser avsetter landformer og ... -
Kartlegging av skredavsetninger langs Kjøsnesfjorden i et klimaperspektiv
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Skred er den største geofaren i Norge. Særlig på Vestlandet er skredfaren stor, og langs fjorder og daler er skredavsetninger vanlig. Gjennom kartlegging og studier av tidligere skredhendelser økes kunnskapen om skredtypenes ... -
Last interglacial sea-level proxies in the glaciated Northern Hemisphere
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Because global sea level during the last interglacial (LIG; 130–115 ka) was higher than today, the LIG is a useful approximate analogue for improving predictions of future sea-level rise. Here, we synthesize sea-level ... -
Sources of uncertainty in Greenland surface mass balance in the 21st century
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The surface mass balance (SMB) of the Greenland ice sheet is subject to considerable uncertainties that complicate predictions of sea level rise caused by climate change. We examine the SMB of the Greenland ice sheet in ... -
Temperature exposure in cod driven by changes in abundance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Animals actively select the most suitable habitat in terms of fitness, much of which is mediated by temperature. We reconstructed population abundance, oxygen isotope and temperature chronologies for the Icelandic and the ... -
Surface mass balance modeling of the Greenland ice sheet : Sensitivity and uncertainty of the energy balance model BESSI
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-06-17)The surface mass balance is the main connection between the atmospheric climate change and the evolution of Greenland ice sheet over the next century. This thesis focuses on the development of surface mass and energy balance ...
