Inversion of Teleseismic Polarization Data for Crustal Velocities in Norway
(Master thesis, 2017-06-23)To characterize the crustal and upper mantle structure it is possible to perform a joint inversion of receiver functions and apparent S-velocities. The inversion is performed using a linearized weighted iterative least-squares ... -
Inversion of the Linear and Parabolic Radon Transform
(Master thesis, 2010-05-31)Different mathematical techniques are applied to the linear and parabolic Radon transforms. Including a review of classical work, recent developments, and testing of two proposed methods. Studies span from sampling and ... -
Inversion of time-lapse seismic waveform data using integral equation methods
(Master thesis, 2018-06-20)Time-lapse seismic data are considered a valuable tool for monitoring hydrocarbon reservoirs. Since the changes in elastic parameters associated with production of hydrocarbons, or injection of CO2 into a reservoir, tend ... -
Investigating Fine‐Scale Permeability Structure and Its Control on Hydrothermal Activity Along a Fast‐Spreading Ridge (the East Pacific Rise, 9°43′–53′N) Using Seismic Velocity, Poroelastic Response, and Numerical Modeling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Along with the intracrustal heat source, crustal permeability is considered as the controlling factor for hydrothermal circulation within zero‐age oceanic crust. To obtain fine‐scale, 2‐D models of upper crustal permeability ... -
Investigating multiple sulfur isotope variations in active hydrothermal chimneys and fluids from the Arctic Mid Ocean Ridges
(Master thesis, 2022-05-09)The four different vent fields Seven Sisters, Soria Moria, Fåvne and Loki’s Castle are all located on the ultra-slow spreading AMOR. The Seven Sisters and the Soria Moria vent fields are located on the southern part of the ... -
Investigation and optimization of OBC sensor array coupling to the seafloor: Novel approach to systematic testing of receiver coupling
(Doctoral thesis, 2013-10-29)The most important challenge for the oil-industry is to increase the recovery rates for existing oil and gas fields and to map fluid movements with time-lapse 4D seismic, ensure caprock integrity and reduce geo-hazards or ... -
An investigation into the potential of a new quantitative DHI method
(Master thesis, 2018-06-22)The seismic response of a layer boundary is dependent on a variety of geological factors and is likely to vary significantly along a given reflector. An aspect that seems to be underutilised in the current DHI methods is ... -
Investigation of changes in Briksdalsbreen, western Norway from 1966 - 2020
(Master thesis, 2023-02-06)Briksdalsbreen in western Norway was studied using remote sensing. Sets of optical aerial photographs captured between 1966 to 2020 were used with LiDAR-based Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and glacier outlines derived ... -
Investigation of fungal growth and its influence on the permeability of the oceanic crust - Method Development using Penicillium Rubens
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)The deep biosphere within the oceanic crust is a tantalizing frontier of the geomicrobiology field with many unanswered questions owing to great challenges that need to be overcome when investigating this habitat. Fungi ... -
Investigations of abrupt climate change offshore east Greenland continental margin during marine isotope stages 3 and 5
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)Paleoclimatic records obtained from western Nordic Seas core GS15-198-38CC (70°N, 17°W) exhibit fluctuating climatic patterns of millennial time scales. Here, foraminifera isotope records used to reconstruct sea surface ... -
Is there evidence for a 4.2 kaBP event in the northern North Atlantic region?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-02)We review paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic records from the northern North Atlantic to assess the nature of climatic conditions at 4.2 ka BP, which has been identified as a time of exceptional climatic anomalies in many ... -

Isavsmeltingshistoria ved munningen av Sognefjorden
(Master thesis, 2019-12-20)Målet med oppgåva er å rekonstruere isavsmeltingshistoria på Værlandet, og isdynamikken nord for Sognefjorden ut frå isskuringsobservasjonar. Det er gjort 10Be-eksponeringsdatering frå ni flyttblokker på Værlandet. I tillegg ... -
Isavsmeltningshistorie og havnivåendringer på Værlandet, nord for munningen av Sognefjorden
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Forskning på havnivå og isavsmeltinghistorie tilbake i tid er viktig for å forstå hvilke prosesser som har påvirket utviklingsforløpet. Dette kan så brukes til å modellere fremtidige endringer i havnivå. Det er i dette ... -
Isotopic composition of Pb in tree rings of Norway spruce (Picea abies) from the Fensfjorden area, western Norway
(Master thesis, 2012-06-01)The annual growth of tree rings makes the trees as possible archive of the past atmospheric pollution. However, several aspects addressed in literature such as post-depositional mobility of Pb, intra-ring heterogeneity and ... -
Izu-Bonin rear-arc magmatism: Geochemical investigation of volcanoclastic material
(Master thesis, 2017-06-23)Studied samples from the Izu Bonin rear arc show a distinct geochemical pattern that resemble the modern continental crust. In contrast to the volcanic front, samples from the Izu Bonin rear arc show enrichment of LREE ... -
