Ice Motion Across Deep Fjords
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)The behaviour of ice crossing deep subglacial valleys has not been studied in detail, and this has important consequences for ice sheet modelling. In Western Norway striation markings left by the Scandinavian Ice Sheet ... -
Ice sheets, oceanic circulation & sea surface conditions: the NW European margin during the last 35,000 years
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-04-20)The north-western European continental margin provides a key area for detailed investigations of changes within the inflow of Atlantic warm surface currents, fluctuations in continental ice sheets and the corresponding ... -
Ice Thickness and Bed Elevation of the Northern and Southern Patagonian Icefields
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The Northern and Southern Patagonian Icefields are the largest ice masses in the Southern Hemisphere outside Antarctica, but their ice volume and bed topography are poorly known. Here, we combine airborne gravity data ... -
Ice-dammed lakes and deglaciation history of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet in central Jämtland, Sweden
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Extensive glacial lakes dammed in the Scandinavian Mountains during the retreat of the last Scandinavian Ice Sheet were first hypothesised over a century ago. Here, using high-resolution LiDAR, we report >4500 relict ... -
Ice-flow patterns and precise timing of ice sheet retreat across a dissected fjord landscape in western Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06)We reconstruct patterns of ice flow and retreat of the southwestern Scandinavian Ice Sheet, from 2900 field observations of glacial striae and elevation measurements of 60 ice-marginal-deltas from a high-resolution LiDAR ... -
Ice-flow patterns in Boknafjorden and the deglaciations history of the Espedalen-Høgsfjorden region in Forsand, Rogaland
(Master thesis, 2019-06-26)Over 1000 glacial striation observations have been collected from various published and unpublished sources and compiled in a GIS striations database for Rogaland. An interpretation of the major flow sets represented by ... -
Ice-sheet dynamics and glacial development of the Norwegian continental margin during the last 3 million years
(Doctoral thesis, 2007-06-29)This thesis is mainly about the dynamics of the palaeo-ice sheets that covered Scandinavia, Barents Sea and Svalbard during the last glaciation. Morphological interpretation of regional and detailed bathymetric data sets ... -
Ice-stream dynamics of the SW Barents Sea revealed by high-resolution 3D seismic imaging of glacial deposits in the Hoop area
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-03-01)Recent developments in seismic acquisition systems and seismic data visualization have contributed to improve the imaging of seismic geomorphologies over a broad range of topics. This study focuses on a new high-resolution ... -
Identification and quantification of soundscape components in the Marginal Ice Zone
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Acoustic experiments using an integrated ice station were carried out during August 2012 and September 2013 in the Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) of Fram Strait. The two experiments lasted four days each and collected under-ice ... -
Identifisering av opphavet til minerogene avsettingar i sedimentkjernar. Ein studie basert på analysar av innsjøsediment og jordartsprøvar frå nedslagsfeltet til den proglasiale innsjøen Dravladalsvatnet nedstraums Nordfonna, Folgefonna.
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)The focus of this master thesis lies on the possibility to identify the source of the minerogenic material in proglacial lake sediments, downstream the glacier Nordfonna. The identification is based on the comparison between ... -
Identifying climate change information needs for the himalayan region: Results from the GLACINDIA Stakeholder Workshop and Training Program
(Journal article, 2016)Here we present results of a workshop designed to bring together stakeholders from different states of the Indian side of the Himalayan arc and an international group of climate scientists in order to discuss how climate ... -
Identifying flood deposits in lake sediments: Changing frequencies and potential links to long-term climate change
(Doctoral thesis, 2011-05-26)This thesis consists of an introduction and three individual papers that investigate the possibility for identifying the sedimentary imprint of catchment processes in lake sediments, emphasising on extreme events and in ... -
Imaging Discontinuities in the Lithospheric Mantle Using a New, Automated Ps and Sp Receiver Function Workflow
(Master thesis, 2020-12-10)Over the last decades, the receiver function technique has been widely established as a standard tool for surveying sharp changes in elastic properties of the Earth’s crust and upper mantle. To date, very few studies have ... -
Imaging of small-scale faults in seismic reflection data: Insights from seismic modelling of faults in outcrop
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Faults with throws that fall below vertical seismic resolution are challenging to identify in reflection seismic datasets. Nevertheless, such small-scale faults may still affect the seismic images, and in this study, we ... -
Imaging Subduction Beneath Mount St. Helens: Implications for Slab Dehydration and Magma Transport
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Mount St. Helens (MSH) is anomalously 35–50 km trenchward of the main Cascade arc. To elucidate the source of this anomalous forearc volcanism, the teleseismic‐scattered wavefield is used to image beneath MSH with a dense ... -
Impact of diagenesis on seismic properties of siliciclastic rocks
(Doctoral thesis, 2006-04-25) -
Impact of Fjord Geometry on Grounding Line Stability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-06-05)Recent and past retreat of marine-terminating glaciers are broadly consistent with observed ocean warming, yet responses vary significantly within regions experiencing similar ocean conditions. We assess how fjord geometry ... -
Impact of geological heterogeneity on CO2 sequestration: from outcrop to simulator
(Doctoral thesis, 2013-12-16)Increased anthropogenic emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the Earth’s atmosphere since the industrial revolution has enhanced the greenhouse effect and contributed to global climate change. Controlling atmospheric CO2 ... -
Impact of icebergs on the seasonal submarine melt of Sermeq Kujalleq
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The role of icebergs in narrow fjords hosting marine-terminating glaciers in Greenland is poorly understood, even though iceberg melt results in a substantial freshwater flux that can exceed the subglacial discharge. ... -
Impact of Inherited Foreland Relief on Retro-Foreland Basin Architecture
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We use a Landscape Evolution Model including flexural isostasy to investigate the influence of inherited foreland relief on the stratigraphic evolution of the retro-foreland domain during mountain building. We show models ...
