A comparison of ancient deltaic shoreline progradation with modern deltaic progradation rates: Unravelling the temporal structure of the shallow-marine Blackhawk Formation, Upper Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway, USA
Aadland, Tore; Hampson, Gary; Helland-Hansen, William (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Understanding how sedimentary rocks represent time is one of the significant challenges in sedimentology. Sedimentation rates retrieved from vertical sections are strongly timescale dependent, which means that we cannot ... -
Progradation rates measured at modern river outlets: A first-order constraint on the pace of deltaic deposition
Aadland, Tore; Helland-Hansen, William (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We present a compilation of modern shoreline progradation rates measured close to river outlets entering deltaic coastlines, and we discuss how these observations relate to the overall evolution of both modern and ancient ... -
Sedimentology and palynology of the Lower Cretaceous succession of central Spitsbergen: integration of subsurface and outcrop data
Grundvåg, Sten-Andreas; Jelby, Mads Engholm; Śliwińska, Kasia Kamila; Nøhr-Hansen, Henrik; Aadland, Tore; Sandvik, Sara Elvelund; Tennvassås, Ingrid; Engen, Thea Marie; Olaussen, Snorre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06-27)The Lower Cretaceous succession in Svalbard is commonly considered as an important analogue to age-equivalent strata on the Barents Shelf which are sporadically targeted by exploration wells. In this study, the stratigraphic ...
