Early Holocene Temperature Oscillations Exceed Amplitude of Observed and Projected Warming in Svalbard Lakes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Arctic climate is uniquely sensitive to ongoing warming. The feedbacks that drive this amplified response remain insufficiently quantified and misrepresented in model scenarios of future warming. Comparison with paleotemperature ... -
Early Pliocene onset of modern Nordic Seas circulation related to ocean gateway changes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-28)The globally warm climate of the early Pliocene gradually cooled from 4 million years ago, synchronous with decreasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations. In contrast, palaeoceanographic records indicate that the Nordic Seas ... -
Early post-deglaciation shorelines and sea-level changes along Hardangerfjorden and adjacent fjord areas, W. Norway
(Doctoral thesis, 2008-09-05) -
Earthquake Damage and Loss Assessment – Predicting the Unpredictable
(Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2013-05-10) -
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 ... -
Earthquake triggered submarine slides in Norway
(Master thesis, 2017-12-16)Towards the end of the last glacial period, several episodes of submarine mass failures has taken place both in Norwegian fjords and on the continental shelf. Submarine mass failures have the potential of generating tsunamis ... -
Earthquakes track subduction fluids from slab source to mantle wedge sink
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Subducting plates release fluids as they plunge into Earth’s mantle and occasionally rupture to produce intraslab earthquakes. It is debated whether fluids and earthquakes are directly related. By combining seismic ... -

Eemian Greenland ice sheet simulated with a higher-order model shows strong sensitivity to surface mass balance forcing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-15)The Greenland ice sheet contributes increasingly to global sea level rise. Its history during past warm intervals is a valuable reference for future sea level projections. We present ice sheet simulations for the Eemian ... -
Eemian Greenland SMB strongly sensitive to model choice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-10-19)Understanding the behavior of the Greenland ice sheet in a warmer climate, and particularly its surface mass balance (SMB), is important for assessing Greenland’s potential contribution to future sea level rise. The Eemian ... -
The effect of radiation screens on Nordic time series of mean temperature
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 1997-12)A short survey of the historical development of temperature radiation screens is given based upon research in the archives of the Nordic meteorological institutes. In the middle of the nineteenth century most thermometer ... -
Effects of geophysical parameters on the seismic expression of the Maghlaq Fault, Malta: insights from outcrop-based 2D seismic modeling
(Master thesis, 2020-06-25)Faults are heterogenous zones comprising highly complex geometries, which can be studied in detail from field outcrops. The internal complexity of a fault zone is however difficult to interpret from seismic images, due to ... -
Effects of magmatic intrusions on temperature history and diagenesis in sedimentary basins – and the impact on petroleum systems
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-04-23)For many volcanic basins, the thermal effect of igneous intrusions is decisive for their petroleum potential because such thermal impact may lead to maturation of organic material in areas that otherwise would remain ... -
Effects of upscaling and interpolation on log data
(Master thesis, 2000) -
Eight-hundred-year temperature variability from the Norwegian continental margin and the North Atlantic thermohaline circulation
(Journal article, 2004-04-17)Four cores raised from the eastern Norwegian Sea and adjacent Norwegian fjords at sites influenced by Atlantic water have been investigated. Oxygen isotope analyses in benthic and planktonic foraminifera are used as a proxy ... -
Ekspulsjon og gassgenerering ved kunstig modning av intakte kildebergartsprøver
(Master thesis, 2016-06-08)Det er utført fem kunstige modningseksperiment på en skiferbergart for å studere effekten av vann og temperaturgradient på generasjon og utdriving av hydrokarboner fra en intakt bergart. Sammensetningen av generert olje ... -
Elastic Full-Waveform Inversion in the Presence of Fracture-Induced Anisotropy
(Master thesis, 2020-06-24)Seismic imaging of the subsurface is essential in both the exploration and production of hydrocarbon reservoirs. Seismic full-waveform modelling and inversion methods can be used to obtain high-resolution images of the ... -
Elevars koplingar under feltarbeid i geofag: Ei undersøking av korleis elevar koplar mellom ulike kunnskapar under feltarbeid i geofag
(Master thesis, 2017-08-16)Pedagogiske koplingar og koplingar mellom ulike kunnskapar er ikkje ukjende områder innan geodidaktikk, men områda er lite utforska. Denne studia går meir i djupna på kva typar koplingar som skjer under feltarbeid i geofag. ... -
En kontinuerlig, høyoppløselig rekonstruksjon av brefluktuasjoner på Hambergbreen, Syd Georgia, de siste 1500 år
(Master thesis, 2012-06-01)A sediment record from a distal-glacial fed lake has the potential to contain continuous, high-resolution record of glacial fluctuations backwards in time. In this thesis multiple sediment cores from Middle Hamberg Lake, ...
