GrSMBMIP: intercomparison of the modelled 1980-2012 surface mass balance over the Greenland Ice Sheet
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Observations and models agree that the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) surface mass balance (SMB) has decreased since the end of the 1990s due to an increase in meltwater runoff and that this trend will accelerate in the future. ... -
Interpreting archaeological site-formation processes at a mountain ice patch: A case study from Langfonne, Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In the context of global warming, ice patches are increasingly important foci of high-elevation archaeology. Langfonne in Jotunheimen, central southern Norway, is uniquely suited to provide a window onto site formation ... -
Volcaniclastic Dispersal During Submarine Lava Effusion: The 2012 Eruption of Havre Volcano, Kermadec Arc, New Zealand
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Understanding clast dispersal from subaqueous volcanism is hampered by uncertainty in the source and extent of seafloor deposits. Extensive sampling in situ of seafloor deposits from the 2012 submarine eruption of Havre ... -
Implications of 3D Seismic Raytracing on Focal Mechanism Determination
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The purpose of this study is to investigate apparent first‐motion polarities mismatch at teleseismic distances in the determination of focal mechanism. We implement and compare four seismic raytracing algorithms to compute ... -
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 ... -
Source Study of the 24 August 2016 Mw 6.8 Chauk, Myanmar, Earthquake
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The source process of an intraslab intermediate‐depth earthquake (h=90 km) that occurred near Chauk, central Myanmar, on 24 August 2016 was investigated using teleseismic body‐wave inversion. The focal mechanism solution ... -
Fault-controlled fluid circulation and diagenesis along basin-bounding fault systems in rifts - Insights from the East Greenland rift system
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-05)In marine rift basins, deep-water clastics (>200 m) in the hanging wall of rift- or basin-bounding fault systems are commonly juxtaposed against crystalline “basement” rocks in the footwall. A distinct feature of such fault ... -
The Svalbard Eocene-Oligocene (?) Central Basin succession: Sedimentation patterns and controls
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)A synthesis has been undertaken based on regionally compiled data from the post early Eocene foreland basin succession of Svalbard. The aim has been to generate an updated depositional model and link this to controlling ... -
Evidence for rapid paraglacial formation of rock glaciers in southern Norway from 10Be surface-exposure dating
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-16)We evaluate the timing and environmental controls on past rock-glacier activity at Øyberget, upper Ottadalen, southern Norway, using in situ 10Be surface-exposure dating on (1) boulders belonging to relict rock-glacier ... -
From Caledonian collapse to North Sea Rift: The extended history of a metamorphic core complex
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Extensional systems evolve through different stages due to changes in the rheological state of the lithosphere. It is crucial to distinguish ductile structures formed before and during rifting, as both cases have important ... -
Meltwater sediment transport as the dominating process in mid-latitude trough mouth fan formation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Trough mouth fans comprise the largest sediment deposits along glaciated margins, and record Pleistocene climate changes on a multi-decadal time scale. Here we present a model for the formation of the North Sea Fan derived ... -

Global Cenozoic Paleobathymetry with a focus on the Northern Hemisphere Oceanic Gateways
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The evolution of the Northern Hemisphere oceanic gateways has facilitated ocean circulation changes and may have influenced climatic variations in the Cenozoic time (66 Ma–0 Ma). However, the timing of these oceanic gateway ... -
A new high-resolution stratigraphic and palaeoenvironmental record spanning the End-Permian Mass Extinction and its aftermath in central Spitsbergen, Svalbard
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-15)Research on the Permian-Triassic boundary (PTB) along the northern margins of Pangaea (exposed today in the Arctic region) has been heavily reliant on field observations, where data resolution was consequently determined ... -
The role of structural inheritance in the development of high-displacement crustal faults in the necking domain of rifted margins: The Klakk Fault Complex, Frøya High, offshore mid-Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-20)The role of inherited structures during the development of normal faults in continental rifts and proximal domains of passive margins have been extensively studied. Few studies, however, have a focus on deciphering the ... -
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, ... -
Minimum 1D velocity model and local magnitude scale for Myanmar
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Earthquake monitoring in Myanmar has improved in recent years because of an increased number of seismic stations. This provides a good quality dataset to derive a minimum 1D velocity model and local magnitude (ML) scale ... -
Subglacial sediment distribution from constrained seismic inversion, using MuLTI software: examples from Midtdalsbreen, Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Fast ice flow is associated with the deformation of subglacial sediment. Seismic shear velocities, Vs, increase with the rigidity of material and hence can be used to distinguish soft sediment from hard bedrock substrates. ... -
Seismic on floating ice: data acquisition versus flexural wave noise
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Geophysical surveying of the Arctic will become increasingly important in future prospecting and monitoring of the terrestrial and adjacent areas in this hemisphere. Seismic data acquired on floating ice are hampered with ... -
Salt decollement and rift inheritance controls on crustal deformation in orogens
