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 ... -
Sea ice thickness from air-coupled flexural waves
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Air-coupled flexural waves (ACFWs) appear as wave trains of constant frequency that arrive in advance of the direct air wave from an impulsive source travelling over a floating ice sheet. The frequency of these waves varies ... -
Sea ice variability in the Nordic Seas over Dansgaard–Oeschger climate cycles during the last glacial – A biomarker approach
(Doctoral thesis, 2019-02-15)The Arctic sea ice cover is in fast transition. Resolving past sea ice fluctuations and its link with abrupt climate change might be key for a better understanding of yet unknown climatic consequences of future Arctic sea ... -
Sea ice variability in the southern Norwegian Sea during glacial Dansgaard-Oeschger climate cycles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-06)The last glacial period was marked by pronounced millennial-scale variability in ocean circulation and global climate. Shifts in sea ice cover within the Nordic Seas are believed to have amplified the glacial climate ... -
Seafloor expression and shallow structure of a surfacing fold-and-thrust system: an example from Isfjorden, West Spitsbergen
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)A detailed map of the structure of the West Spitsbergen Fold-and-Thrust Belt in the shallow part of the Isfjorden area, Spitsbergen, is presented. The map was constructed from a new dense grid of 2D multichannel reflection ... -
Seasonal sea ice persisted through the Holocene Thermal Maximum at 80°N
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The cryospheric response to climatic warming responsible for recent Arctic sea ice decline can be elucidated using marine geological archives which offer an important long-term perspective. The Holocene Thermal Maximum, ... -
Sediment dispersal and redistributive processes in axial and transverse deep-time source-to-sink systems of marine rift basins: Dampier Sub-basin, Northwest Shelf, Australia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Morphological scaling relationships between source‐to‐sink segments have been widely explored in modern settings, however, deep‐time systems remain difficult to assess due to limited preservation of drainage basins and ... -
Sediment supply controls on sequence stratigraphy
(Master thesis, 2012-06-01)A three-dimensional numerical model of deltaic deposition is used to study the influence of sediment supply changes on delta development. Sediment supply will have a cyclic variation under conditions of constant linear sea ... -
Sedimentary analysis of the deep-water (Pliocene) Pellini Member, Corinth Rift, Greece
(Master thesis, 2016-08-23)This sedimentological study focuses on the architectural elements distinguished within the deep-water Pellini Member. The Pellini Member is located south of the active Corinth rift, within the uplifted and incised ... -
Sedimentary anatomy and hydrological record of relic fluvial deposits in a karst cave conduit
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This case study from the renowned Demänová Cave System in the Carpathians of Slovakia demonstrates that the conventional methods of fluvial sedimentology, combined with an allostratigraphic mapping and speleothem U-series ... -
Sedimentary ancient DNA shows terrestrial plant richness continuously increased over the Holocene in northern Fennoscandia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The effects of climate change on species richness are debated but can be informed by the past. Here, we generated a sedimentary ancient DNA dataset covering 10 lakes and applied novel methods for data harmonization. We ... -
Sedimentary architecture of sand bodies in the shallow marine Endalen Member, Firkanten Formation (Paleocene) of the Adventdalen Area, Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2018-06-30)The Firkanten Formation has been the object of many research projects, but due to the economic interests in the lower coal bearing Todalen Member, the upper Endalen Member has received little attention. The Endalen Member ... -
Sedimentary response to tectonism and rifting in basins on the Norwegian shelf and onshore Norway
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-09-10)The Norwegian sedimentary basins offshore and onshore have in variable degree been influenced by tectonism as rifting and faulting during deposition. This stems from post Caledonian extensional events that affected both ... -
Sedimentation in a synclinal shallow-marine embayment: Coniacian of the North Sudetic Synclinorium, SW Poland
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)This study is a reconstruction of the Coniacian palaeogeographic and palaeoenvironmental development in the North Sudetic Basin, a synclinal trough within the Late Cretaceous Central European seaway linking the Boreal and ... -
The sedimentation pattern of the last deglaciation and postglacial phase in a high-arctic valley: Endalen, Spitsbergen
(Master thesis, 2000)The present study, focused in the valley-side gravel fans in the eastern part of Endalen and the adjoining side-slope of Adventdalen, has contributed to an understanding of the spatial pattern of the late Weichselian ... -
Sedimentologi og sandkroppgeometri av Hollendardalenformasjonen, Nordenskiöld Land, Spitsbergen
(Master thesis, 2011-06-01)Hollendardalenformasjonen (senpaleocen) er første sandsteinsenhet som bygger seg ut fra den vestlige marginen av Sentralbassenget på Svalbard og markerer slik et skille fra et østlig til et vestlig kildeområde under ... -
