A detailed field and geochemical investigation of the volcanic sequence in the Våganes-area: The Solund-Stavfjord Ophiolite Complex
(Master thesis, 2021-06-01)The Solund-Stavfjord Ophiolite Complex (SSOC) is located within the western Norwegian Caledonides and represents a remnant of the youngest phase of oceanic crust formation, dated to Late Ordovician (443 Ma). Detailed field ... -
Abiotic synthesis of methane and organic compounds in Earth’s lithosphere
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Accumulation of molecular hydrogen in geologic systems can create conditions energetically favorable to transform inorganic carbon into methane and other organic compounds. Although hydrocarbons with a potentially abiotic ... -
Abrupt changes in sea ice and dynamics of Dansgaard-Oeschger events
(Doctoral thesis, 2017-12-01)Changes in sea ice are proposed as an important component in Dansgaard-Oeschger events; the abrupt climate change events that occurred repeatedly during the last ice age. Paleoclimatic reconstructions suggest an expansion ... -
Abrupt high-latitude climate events and decoupled seasonal trends during the Eemian
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-07-20)The Eemian (the Last Interglacial; ca. 129–116 thousand years ago) presents a testbed for assessing environmental responses and climate feedbacks under warmer-than-present boundary conditions. However, climate syntheses ... -
Accretionary history of Lower Ordovician island arc complexes on Bømlo: evidence from detrital zircon dating and geochemical data
(Master thesis, 2017-06-13)The provenance studies of sedimentary sequences associated with island arc complexes on Bømlo within the ophiolitic terrain of SW Norway has demonstrated that the provenance signature of these sedimentary rocks changed ... -
Acoustic Propagation Underneath the Arctic Sea-ice
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-10-04)The main objective of this project is to study the effect of sea-ice on underwater acoustic wave propagation. Three main parameters define how acoustic waves react to the presence of seaice: (i) the roughness of the underside ... -
Acoustic waveform inversion for ocean turbulence
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)The seismic oceanography method is based on extracting and stacking the low-frequency acoustic energy scattered by the ocean heterogeneity. However, a good understanding on how this acoustic wavefield is affected by physical ... -
Adjoint Modeling and Observing System Design in the Subpolar North Atlantic
(Doctoral thesis, 2019-08-30)The near-surface ocean currents of the subpolar North Atlantic transport large amounts of heat from the subtropics to higher latitudes, affecting Arctic sea ice extent, the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet, and the climate ... -
Aftershock study of the 2019 Ambon earthquake using moment tensor inversion: identification of fault reactivation in northern Banda, Indonesia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)On September 26, 2019, an Mw 6.5 earthquake occurred 23 km northeast of Ambon City, Indonesia, followed by numerous aftershock series related to a complex fault network reactivation in the Ambon and Seram region. Using ... -

Alkaline sill intrusions in sedimentary basins: emplacement of the Mussentuchit Wash Sill in San Rafael Swell, Utah
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Sills are important components of magmatic plumbing systems because of their role in magma storage. Previous studies have indirectly investigated sill propagation and architecture by using laboratory experiments, remote ... -
Alps to Apennines zircon roller coaster along the Adria microplate margin
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-02-09)We have traced the particle path of high-pressure metasedimentary rocks on Elba Island, Northern Apennines, with the help of a U-Pb-Hf detrital zircon study. One quarter of the analysed zircons are surprisingly young, ... -

Ambient noise levels and detection threshold in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07)Ambient seismic noise is caused by a number of sources in specific frequency bands. The quantification of ambient noise makes it possible to evaluate station and network performance. We evaluate noise levels in Norway from ... -
Ambient noise levels, QLg wave tomography and earthquake source parameters in Norway
(Doctoral thesis, 2019-04-05)Norway is part of an intraplate environment and therefore experiences low to intermediate seismicity. This seismicity is a response to the stress eld in the lithosphere, which is mainly in uenced by ridge push from the ... -
Ammonia-oxidizing archaea have similar power requirements in diverse marine oxic sediments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Energy/power availability is regarded as one of the ultimate controlling factors of microbial abundance in the deep biosphere, where fewer cells are found in habitats of lower energy availability. A critical assumption ... -

Analysis of storm surge events along the Norwegian coast
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-08)Observed extreme sea levels are caused by a combination of extreme astronomical tide and extreme storm surge, or by an extreme value in one of these variables and a moderate value in the other. We analyzed measurements ... -
