The 2021 MW 6.2 Mamuju, West Sulawesi, Indonesia earthquake: partial rupture of the Makassar Strait thrust
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)On the 2021 January 15 (local date), an MW 6.2 earthquake struck the Mamuju and Majene regions of West Sulawesi, Indonesia. This event killed more than 100 inhabitants, leaving at least 30 000 people displaced from their ... -
3-D induction log modelling with integral equation method and domain decomposition pre-conditioning
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The deployment of electromagnetic (EM) induction tools while drilling is one of the standard routines for assisting the geosteering decision-making process. The conductivity distribution obtained through the inversion of ... -
3-D seismic images of an extensive igneous sill in the lower crust
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-31)When continents rift, magmatism can produce large volumes of melt that migrate upwards from deep below the Earth’s surface. To understand how magmatism impacts rifting, it is critical to understand how much melt is generated ... -
The 30 June 2017 North Sea Earthquake: Location, Characteristics, and Context
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The Mw 4.5 southern Viking graben earthquake on 30 June 2017 was one of the largest seismic events in the Norwegian part of the North Sea during the last century. It was well recorded on surrounding broadband seismic ... -
3D modelling and interpretation of depositional elements in the Aspelintoppen Formation, Spitsbergen, Svalbard, a facies analysis
(Master thesis, 2021-07-03)The Aspelintoppen Formation is the youngest formation in the Central Tertiary Basin, a foreland basin in Spitsbergen. It comprises an up to 1000 m thick succession of near-coastal to continental deposits. Due to the high ... -
3D reservoir characterization of paleokarst reservoirs on Loppa High through seismic modelling
(Master thesis, 2023-09-04) -
3D seismic architecture of Pleistocene submarine channels and lobe complexes in the thin-skin deformed slope of the Levantine Basin
(Master thesis, 2013-06-03)The current study describes the architecture of Pleistocene-Holocene depositional features that is affected by the underlying structurally topography. The study area is located offshore Israel, at the Levantine Basin of ... -
3D seismic geomorphology of submarine channel-levee systems in salt-related slope setting: a case study from the western deepwater Egypt
(Master thesis, 2013-07-02)High resolution 3D seismic dataset has been used to examine gravity-driven deposits from the Plesitocene to present-day in the structurally complex area of the western Nile deepwater. The underlying Messinian salt and its ... -
3D seismic investigation of tunnel valleys in the Sørlige Nordsjø II offshore wind site: morphology, cross-cutting relationships, and glacial history
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)Sørlige Nordsjø II (SNII) is an offshore wind site situated in the Southern Norwegian North Sea and is part of the larger goal to decarbonise the energy industry. The shallow geology of the North Sea is highly heterogeneous, ... -

3D stochastic modelling of fault zones in siliciclastic reservoirs. Implications for reservoir description and fluid flow modelling
(Doctoral thesis, 2014-12-16)Fault zones in siliciclastic rocks form distinct volumetric entities and typically exhibit great structural complexity. While it has been considered that the main impact of fault zones to fluid flow is to baffle or block ... -
3D structure and formation of hydrothermal vent complexes at the paleocene-eocene transition, the Møre basin, MID-Norwegian margin
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08)The mid-Norwegian margin is regarded as an example of a volcanic-rifted margin, formed prior to and during, Paleogene breakup of the northeast Atlantic. The area is characterized by the presence of voluminous basaltic ... -

A 7000-year record of extreme flood events reconstructed from a threshold lake in southern Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Recent decades have witnessed a shift in the seasonality and frequency of river floods in Norway, primarily attributed to contemporary global warming. Such changes necessitate a more comprehensive understanding of climate-flood ... -
A detailed field and geochemical investigation of the volcanic sequence in the Grimelid-area: The Solund-Stavfjord Ophiolite Complex
(Master thesis, 2021-12-30)This master thesis focuses on the volcanic sequence of the Solund-Stavfjord Ophiolite Complex (SSOC) in Grimelia, in order to provide more detailed information and a better understanding of the development. The SSOC (443 ... -
