On the applicability of a renormalized Born series for seismic wave modelling in strongly scattering media
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Scattering theory is the basis for various seismic modeling and inversion methods. Conventionally, the Born series suffers from an assumption of a weak scattering and may face a convergence problem. We present an application ... -
On the biogenicity of Fe-oxyhydroxide filaments in silicified low-temperature hydrothermal deposits: Implications for the identification of Fe-oxidizing bacteria in the rock record
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Microaerophilic Fe(II)‐oxidizing bacteria produce biomineralized twisted and branched stalks, which are promising biosignatures of microbial Fe oxidation in ancient jaspers and iron formations. Extracellular Fe stalks ... -
On the evolution of the North Atlantic -from continental collapse to oceanic accretion
(Doctoral thesis, 2013-10-23)The North Atlantic between Iceland and Svalbard and surrounding continental areas represent an ideal laboratory for studying plate tectonic processes, due to the presence of well exposed continent-continent collision ... -
On the importance of temperature and precipitation changes for glacial ice sheet stability
(Master thesis, 2023-11-20)Ice sheets undergo periodic advances and retreats, resulting in glacial-interglacial cycles. The Last Glacial Period is widely believed as involving a long-time buildup phase followed by a rapid termination over approximately ... -
On the potential for megathrust earthquakes and tsunamis off the southern coast of West Java and southeast Sumatra, Indonesia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)High seismicity rates in and around West Java and Sumatra occur as a result of the Indo-Australian plate converging with and subducting beneath the Sunda plate. Large megathrust events associated with this process likely ... -
On the relative importance of global and squirt flow in cracked porous media
(Journal article, 2014)A unified theory of global and squirt flow in cracked porous media was developed several years ago on the basis of a combination of the dynamic T-matrix approach to rock physics. The theory has been successfully used to ... -
The onset of flysch sedimentation in the Kaoko Belt (NW Namibia) – Implications for the pre-collisional evolution of the Kaoko–Dom Feliciano–Gariep orogen
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-09)Detrital zircon provenance study of a metamorphosed sedimentary succession in the eastern part of the Kaoko Belt in Namibia has revealed two distinct sources for the Neoproterozoic sedimentation along the southwestern Congo ... -
Ophiolites of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt: Geochemical and petrological characterization and tectonic settings
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We present a compilation of published data (field, petrography, ages and geochemistry) from 73 ophiolitic complexes of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. The ophiolitic complexes, ranging in age from Neoproterozoic to Triassic, ... -
The origin of large varioles in flow-banded pillow lava from the Hooggenoeg Complex, Barberton Greenstone Belt, South Africa
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011)Exceptionally well-preserved pillowed and massive phenocryst-free metabasaltic lava flows in the uppermost part of the Palaeoarchaean Hooggenoeg Complex of the Barberton Greenstone Belt exhibit both flow banding and large ... -
Orogenesis from bottom to top – Investigating the geodynamics of mountain building using coupled thermo-mechanical-surface-process models
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-03-10)The objective of this project is to The objective of this project is to advance our understanding of mountain building processes in different plate tectonic settings and with specific focus on the interaction between surface ... -
Outcrop-scale fracture analysis and seismic modelling of a basin-bounding normal fault in platform carbonates, central Italy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Faults are characterized by a complex internal architecture. In carbonates, the geometry, attitude, and distribution of fault-related fractures and subsidiary faults can largely affect the petrophysical properties and hy ... -
Overprinting translational domains in passive margin salt basins: insights from analogue modelling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-02)Current models of gravitational tectonics on the structural styles of salt-influenced passive margins typically depict domains of upslope extension and corresponding downslope contraction separated by a mid-slope domain ... -
The overturning circulation in a changing Arctic
(Doctoral thesis, 2023-11-22)Ved å begrense varmeutvekslingen mellom hav og atmosfære bestemmer sjøisen området for dannelse av dypvann i Arktis. Under økte klimagassutslipp trekker sjøisen seg nordover. Mens nyere studier tyder på at Arktis kan være ... -
An overview of the Upper Palaeozoic-Mesozoic stratigraphy of the NE Atlantic region
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)This study describes the distribution and stratigraphic range of the Upper Palaeozoic–Mesozoic succession in the NE Atlantic region, and is correlated between conjugate margins and along the axis of the NE Atlantic rift ... -
Ötzi, 30 years on: A reappraisal of the depositional and post-depositional history of the find
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)When Ötzi, the Iceman, was found in a gully in the Tisenjoch pass in the Tyrolean Alps in 1991, he was a huge surprise for the archaeological community. The lead initial investigator of the find argued that it was unique, ... -
PaCTS 1.0: a crowdsourced reporting standard for paleoclimate data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-09)The progress of science is tied to the standardization of measurements, instruments, and data. This is especially true in the Big Data age, where analyzing large data volumes critically hinges on the data being standardized. ... -
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 ... -
