Clumped isotope thermometry in foraminifera - From calibration to Plio-Pleistocene temperature reconstructions in the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-06-25)Clumped isotopes thermometry on foraminifera holds the potential to accurately reconstruct ocean temperatures on million-year timescales. In contrast to most other paleothermometers, clumped isotopes do not rely on prior ... -
Coastal permafrost was massively eroded during the Bølling-Allerød warm period
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The Bølling-Allerød interstadial (14,700–12,900 years before present), during the last deglaciation, was characterized by rapid warming and sea level rise. Yet, the response of the Arctic terrestrial cryosphere during this ... -
“Cold and wet” and “warm and dry” climate transitions at the East Asian summer monsoon boundary during the last deglaciation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Studies on millennial‒centennial abrupt climate events during the last deglaciation have significant relevance to modern-day abrupt and extreme climate changes that are occurring more frequently in the context of global ... -
Cold spells in the Nordic Seas during the early Eocene Greenhouse
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The early Eocene (c. 56 - 48 million years ago) experienced some of the highest global temperatures in Earth’s history since the Mesozoic, with no polar ice. Reports of contradictory ice-rafted erratics and cold water ... -
Combination of Aerial, Satellite, and UAV Photogrammetry for Quantifying Rock Glacier Kinematics in the Dry Andes of Chile (30°S) Since the 1950s
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The diachronic analysis of aerial and satellite imagery, uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) and in situ surveys obtained between 1956 and 2019 are employed to analyse landform surface kinematics for the Tapado site located in ... -
A community-based geological reconstruction of Antarctic Ice Sheet deglaciation since the Last Glacial Maximum
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-15)A robust understanding of Antarctic Ice Sheet deglacial history since the Last Glacial Maximum is important in order to constrain ice sheet and glacial-isostatic adjustment models, and to explore the forcing mechanisms ... -
Comparative analysis defines a broader FMRFamide-gated sodium channel family and determinants of neuropeptide sensitivity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)FMRFamide (Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-amide, FMRFa) and similar neuropeptides are important physiological modulators in most invertebrates, but the molecular basis of FMRFa activity at its receptors is unknown. We therefore sought ... -
A Comparative Palynofacies Study of Two Methods Used for Source Rock Validation. A Case Study From a Mississippian Succession on Spitsbergen
(Master thesis, 2017-06-30)This study is conducted on the analysis of twenty-nine kerogen slides of Tournasian and Visean age. The outcrop samples were collected from the Hoelbreen and Birger Johnsonfjellet Members in the Birger Johnsonfjellet section ... -
Comparison between Air Temperature and Land Surface Temperature for the City of São Paulo, Brazil
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)This study aims to identify the relationship between changes in temperature regarding urbanization processes and seasonality in the city of São Paulo, located in the Tropic of Capricorn. The land surface temperature (LST) ... -
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
(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 ... -
Comparison of metamorphic evolution and tectonic position of metasediments of the Austevoll islands with rocks from the Samnanger Complex (Major Bergen Arc, Norwegian Caledonides)
(Master thesis, 2015-08-01)Metasedimentary rocks represent a substantial component of the Bergen Arcs System and they are mostly confined to the Minor and Major Bergen Arcs. The arcs represents imbricate structures composed of island arc lithologies, ... -
A complex point-source solution of the acoustic eikonal equation for Gaussian beams in transversely isotropic media
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-03-11)The complex traveltime solutions of the complex eikonal equation are the basis of inhomogeneous plane-wave seismic imaging methods, such as Gaussian beam migration and tomography. We present the analytic approximations for ... -
Complex strain partitioning and heterogeneous extension rates during early rifting in the East Shetland Basin, northern North Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The early stages of continental rifting are accommodated by the growth of upper crustal normal fault systems that are distributed relatively evenly across the rift width. Numerous fault systems define fault arrays, the ... -
Compositions of dissolved organic matter in the ice-covered waters above the Aurora hydrothermal vent system, Gakkel Ridge, Arctic Ocean
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Hydrothermal vents modify and displace subsurface dissolved organic matter (DOM) into the ocean. Once in the ocean, this DOM is transported together with elements, particles, dissolved gases and biomass along with the ... -
Computationally Efficient Methods for Seismic Modeling and Inversion
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-18)This thesis presents new methods for the modeling of seismic waveforms based on ray theory and ray-Born integrals. The waveforms are used in forward modeling, imaging and full waveform inversion and are computed in 3D ... -
A conceptual geological model for offshore wind sites in former ice stream settings: The Utsira Nord site, North Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Conceptual geological models of the shallow subsurface that integrate geological and geotechnical information are important for more strategic data acquisition and engineering at offshore wind sites. Utsira Nord is an ... -
Configuration of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet in southwestern Norway during the Younger Dryas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The extent of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet in southwestern Norway is precisely located during the well-characterized Younger Dryas re-advance. However, the thickness of the ice sheet is less well constrained inland from the ... -
