The spatial-temporal geomorphology of meandering river channels in distributive fluvial systems
(Master thesis, 2019-06-28) -
The topographic evolution of post-Caledonian landscapes in the inner Nordfjord, SW-Norway | New insights from AFT dating and thermal history modelling
(Master thesis, 2021-08-24)The topographic evolution of the present-day mountains of western Norway is not completely resolved. Long after the breakup of the Caledonides, the mountains along the passive continental margin of Norway remain high, with ... -
A theoretical approach to glacier equilibrium-line altitudes using meteorological data and glacier massbalance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003-05-01)Based on a close exponential relationship between mean ablation-season temperature and winter precipitation at the equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) of 10 Norwegian glaciers, three equations are derived. The first equation ... -
Theoretical equilibrium-line altitudes and glacier buildup sensitivity in southern Norway based on meteorological data in a geographical information system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003-05-01)Three equations derived from a close exponential glacier-climate relationship at the equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) of Norwegian glaciers have been utilized and implemented in a geographical information system (GIS). The ... -
The Thermal Evolution of Western Norway Based on Multi-Sample Models of an Elevation Transect: Implications for the Formation of High-Elevation Low-Relief Surfaces on an Elevated Rifted Continental Margin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The post-Caledonian thermal and geomorphological evolution of onshore Western Norway is poorly understood, including the formation and age of the high-elevation low-relief surfaces seen across the Norwegian landscape. We ... -
A Three-Field Formulation for Two-Phase Flow in Geodynamic Modeling: Toward the Zero-Porosity Limit
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Two-phase flow, a system where Stokes flow and Darcy flow are coupled, is of great importance in the Earth's interior, such as in subduction zones, mid-ocean ridges, and hotspots. However, it remains challenging to solve ... -
Time-lapse full waveform inversion in strongly scattering media
(Master thesis, 2019-06-25)In petroleum seismology, full waveform inversion (FWI) is known as a powerful method taking into account all available in seismic data information with which one can determine a high-resolution subsurface image. In time-lapse ... -
Time-lapse techniques for surface velocity, front position and calving rate measurement of a fast-flowing tidewater glacier in Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2015-05-31)Calving is the mechanical loss of icebergs from tidewater glaciers, responsible for 70% of the annual transfer of mass from the cryosphere to the ocean (van der Veen 1998a, 2002). To be able to correctly predict future ... -
TimeseriesSurrogates.jl: a Julia package for generating surrogate data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022) -
The timing of deglaciation and the sequence of pioneer vegetation at Ringsaker, eastern Norway – and an earthquake-triggered landslide
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)We describe a sediment sequence comprising a thick till covered by thin beds of lacustrine sediments containing pollen and plant macrofossils derived from pioneer vegetation. Four consistent radiocarbon dates on terrestrial ... -
Tipping the balance: Shifts in sediment production in an active rift setting
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-06)Landscapes in actively developing rifts respond to tectonic forcing over a similar time scale to that of fault array evolution (i.e., 10^5–10^6 yr). Consequently transient landscapes (i.e., not in topographic steady state) ... -
Tolkning av refleksjonsseismiske data fra Van Mijenfjorden, Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2017-12-07)Grunnlaget for tolkningen i denne oppgaven er 53 av 68 tilgjengelige multi-kanals seismiske linjer som er samlet inn under Svalex i årene 2007-2014. De seismiske linjene sørget for god dekning av Van Mijenfjorden. Datasettet ... -
Topografi og dreneringsretninger under Nordfonna, Folgefonna
(Master thesis, 2012-01-09)Nordfonna er den nordligste av de tre breene på Folgefonnhalvøyen i Hardanger. Nordfonna er en godt vitenskapelig kartlagt isbre. Breens plassering gjør den sensitiv for klimatiske endringer og kan hjelpe forskere å forstå ... -
Topological Characterization of a Fault Network Along the Northern North Sea Rift Margin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The factors that control the spatial variation of the topological characteristics of normal fault networks at the rift-scale are poorly understood. Here, we use 3D seismic reflection data from the northern North Sea to ... -
Topological Constraints by the Greenland–Scotland Ridge on AMOC and Climate
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Changes in the geometry of ocean basins have been influential in driving climate change throughout Earth’s history. Here, we focus on the emergence of the Greenland–Scotland Ridge (GSR) and its influence on the ocean state, ... -
Topology and distribution of deformation bands in normal fault damage zones, Utah
(Master thesis, 2020-06-24)Deformation bands are common strain localization features in porous rocks and sediments that occur as millimeter to centimeter wide tabular zones. They may occur as single bands, network of bands or in clusters and are ... -
Topology of normal fault damage zones in carbonate rocks, Malta - implications for the development of connectivity in evolving fault networks
(Master thesis, 2016-11-21)Fault damage zones are known to be more complex in linkage zones, relays and at fault tips. From a reservoir perspective, these damage complexities may act as conduits or barriers for fluid flow, hence they need to be ... -
Toward Waveform-Based Characterization of Slab & Mantle Wedge (SAM) Earthquakes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Earthquakes in subduction zones occur in the slab mantle, in the subducting crust, on the subduction plate interface, and, in some cases, in the mantle wedge–regions that are separated by strong seismic discontinuities. ... -
Towards a process-based understanding of Holocene polar climate change. Using glacier-fed lake sediments from Arctic Svalbard and Antarctic South Georgia
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-05-03)Earth`s polar regions are undergoing dramatic changes due to ongoing climate change as demonstrated by increasing temperatures, collapsing ice shelves, Arctic sea ice loss and rapid glacier retreat. Driving an accelerating ... -
Towards the new Thematic Core Service Tsunami within the EPOS Research Infrastructure
