Revised Minoan eruption volume as benchmark for large volcanic eruptions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Despite their global societal importance, the volumes of large-scale volcanic eruptions remain poorly constrained. Here, we integrate seismic reflection and P-wave tomography datasets with computed tomography-derived ... -
Revised ΔR values for the Barents Sea and its archipelagos as a pre-requisite for accurate and robust marine-based 14C chronologies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The calibration of marine 14C dates requires the incorporation of regionally specific marine reservoir offsets known as ΔR, essential for accurate and meaningful inter-archive comparisons. Revised, regional ΔR (‘ΔRR’) ... -
Reworking of atmospheric sulfur in a Paleoarchean hydrothermal system at Londozi, Barberton Greenstone Belt, Swaziland
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07)Anomalous fractionation of the minor isotopes of sulfur (Δ33S, Δ36S) in Archean pyrite is thought to reflect photochemical reactions in an anoxic atmosphere, with most samples falling along a reference array with Δ36S/Δ33S ... -
Rift kinematics preserved in deep-time erosional landscape below the northern North Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Our understanding of continental rifting is, in large parts, derived from the stratigraphic record. This record is, however, incomplete as it does not often capture the geomorphic and erosional signal of rifting. New 3D ... -
Robust uncertainty assessment of the spatio-temporal transferability of glacier mass and energy balance models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-08)Energy and mass-balance modelling of glaciers is a key tool for climate impact studies of future glacier behaviour. By incorporating many of the physical processes responsible for surface accumulation and ablation, they ... -
Rock physics and seismic AVA analysis of gas hydrate-bearing sediments
(Master thesis, 2014-06-02)Large amount of natural gas are present in submarine sediments and permafrost areas in the form of gas hydrates. Gas hydrates are a large potential future energy resource, and may contribute to the methane balance in the ... -
Rock physics interpolation Used for velocity modeling of chalks: Ontong Java plateau example
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010)Chalks are pelagic carbonate sediments that are deposited in deep-water environments. Their elastic behaviour is controlled by a combination of depositional conditions and subsequent diagenesis. In this paper, we incorporate ... -
Rock Physics Templates for 4D Seismic Reservoir Monitoring: A case study from Yttergryta field in the Norwegian Sea
(Master thesis, 2014-06-02)Time-lapse 3D seismic which geoscientists often abbreviate to 4D seismic has the potential to monitor changes especially in pore pressure, hydrocarbon and brine saturation in a reservoir due to production or water/gas ... -
The role of authigenic sulfides in immobilization of potentially toxic metals in the Bagno Bory wetland, southern Poland
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10)The supply of Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb, Zn, and Tl into a wetland in the industrial area of Upper Silesia, southern Poland via atmospheric precipitation and dust deposition has been counterbalanced by the biogenic metal sulfide ... -
The role of ocean and atmospheric dynamics in the marine-based collapse of the last Eurasian Ice Sheet
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Information from former ice sheets may provide important context for understanding the response of today’s ice sheets to forcing mechanisms. Here we present a reconstruction of the last deglaciation of marine sectors of ... -
The role of ocean circulation and sea ice in abrupt climate change
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-01-17)Abrupt changes in Earth's climate have occurred repeatedly throughout the geological record. Evidence from paleoclimate data has revealed that climate changed most dramatically during the last glacial period, associated ... -
The role of structural inheritance in the development of high-displacement crustal faults in the necking domain of rifted margins: The Klakk Fault Complex, Frøya High, offshore mid-Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-20)The role of inherited structures during the development of normal faults in continental rifts and proximal domains of passive margins have been extensively studied. Few studies, however, have a focus on deciphering the ... -
The Role of Subduction Interface and Upper Plate Strength on Back-Arc Extension: Application to Mediterranean Back-Arc Basins
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)While there has been a lot of work focusing on improving our understanding of divergent and convergent plate boundaries, the intricate nature of back-arc extension, where subduction and large-scale extension occur and ... -
The role of subglacial hydrology in ice streams with elevated geothermal heat flux
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-02-10)The spatial distribution of geothermal heat flux (GHF) under ice sheets is largely unknown. Nonetheless, it is an important boundary condition in ice-sheet models, and suggested to control part of the complex surface ... -
The role of the northward-directed (sub)surface limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation during the 8.2 ka event
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-24)The so-called "8.2 ka event" is widely regarded as a major Holocene climate perturbation. It is most readily identifiable in the oxygen-isotope records from Greenland ice cores as an approximately 160-year-long cold interval ... -
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. ... -
Salt decollement and rift inheritance controls on crustal deformation in orogens
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-09)We investigate the factors that control the shortening distribution and its evolution through time in orogenic belts using numerical models. We present self‐consistent high‐resolution numerical models that simulate the ... -
Sand textural control on shear-enhanced compaction bands in poorly-lithified sandstone
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Sand textural control on SECB (shear-enhanced compaction band) formation is analyzed combining field observations, detailed material characterization and mechanical testing for poorly lithified sandstone units in Provence ... -
