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
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Tsunamis constitute a significant hazard for European coastal populations, and the impact of tsunami events worldwide can extend well beyond the coastal regions directly affected. Understanding the complex mechanisms of ... -
Trace Element and Sulfur Isotope Signatures of Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) Mineralization: A Case Study from the Sunnhordland Area in SW Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-07)The Sunnhordland area in SW Norway hosts more than 100 known mineral occurrences, mostly of volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) and orogeny Au types. The VMS mineralization is hosted by plutonic, volcanic and sedimentary ... -
Trace Elements in the Large Population-Based HUNT3 Survey
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (The HUNT Study) is a large health survey population study in the county of Trøndelag, Norway. The survey has been repeated four times in about 10-year intervals. In the HUNT3 survey ... -
Tracing the last remnants of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet: Ice-dammed lakes and a catastrophic outburst flood in northern Sweden
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-08)We present geomorphological evidence of large, previously undocumented, early Holocene ice-dammed lakes in the Scandinavian Mountains of northwestern Sweden. The lakes extents indicate that the last remnants of the ... -
Tracing the Sveconorwegian orogen into the Caledonides of West Norway: Geochronological and isotopic studies on magmatism and migmatization
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The Sveconorwegian orogen represents a branch of Grenville-age (~1250–950 Ma) orogenic belts that formed during the construction of the supercontinent Rodinia. This study traces the Sveconorwegian records from its type-area ... -
Transfer entropy computation using the Perron-Frobenius operator
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We propose a method for computing the transfer entropy between time series using Ulam's approximation of the Perron-Frobenius (transfer) operator associated with the map generating the dynamics. Our method differs from ... -
Transgressive development of coal-bearing coastal plain to shallow marine setting in a flexural compressional basin, Paleocene, Svalbard, Arctic Norway
(Doctoral thesis, 2008-09-08)The most extensive Paleogene succession on Svalbard, in the Arctic north of Norway, is found in the Central Tertiary Basin of Spitsbergen. It consists of a clastic basin fill of mudstone, sandstone, coal and rare conglomerate ... -
Transient Deep Ocean Cooling in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean at the Eocene-Oligocene Transition
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)At the Eocene-Oligocene Transition (EOT), approximately 34 million years ago, Earth abruptly transitioned to a climate state sufficiently cool for Antarctica to sustain large ice sheets for the first time in tens to hundreds ... -
Transient Increase in Arctic Deep-Water Formation and Ocean Circulation under Sea Ice Retreat
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)While a rapid sea ice retreat in the Arctic has become ubiquitous, the potential weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) in response to global warming is still under debate. As deep mixing occurs ... -
Transient landscape and stratigraphic responses to drainage integration in the actively extending central Italian Apennines
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Drainage networks in continental rifts are generally reported as dynamic features that produce transitions between endorheic and exorheic conditions. While this is of major importance for landscape development, sediment ... -
Transient thermal effects in sedimentary basins with normal faults and magmatic sill intrusions - a sensitivity study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-05)Magmatic intrusions affect the basin temperature in their vicinity. Faulting and physical properties of the basin may influence the magnitudes of their thermal effects and the potential source rock maturation. We present ... -
Transition from Late-Miocene syn-orogenic extension to Plio-Pleistocene Corinth Rifting in the Southern Hellenides, Northern Peloponnese, Greece
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)This study investigates the Late Miocene to Pliocene transition from contractional to extensional tectonics in the upper plate of the Western Aegean retreating subduction system focusing on the Northern Peloponnese area, ... -
Transition metal isotope fractionation in marine hydrothermal deposits of the Mohns Ridge, North Atlantic Ocean
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-08-24)Seafloor hydrothermal vent systems form along mid-ocean ridges in all of the Earth’s oceans. They have a major impact on the chemical exchange between the lithosphere and the hydrosphere, as vast volumes of seawater cycle ...
