Quantifying Dynamical Proxy Potential Through Shared Adjustment Physics in the North Atlantic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Oceanic quantities of interest (QoIs), for example, ocean heat content or transports, are often inaccessible to direct observation, due to the high cost of instrument deployment and logistical challenges. Therefore, ... -
Quantifying structural controls on fluid flow: Insights from carbonate-hosted fault damage zones on the Maltese Islands
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08)Structural complexity along faults (e.g., relay zones, fault intersections and jogs) exert strong controls on fluid flow, yet few attempts have been made to quantify and visualise such relationships. This paper does that ... -
Quantitative Comparison of Offshore Sediment Volumes and Onshore Erosion Potential in Norway in the Neogene and Quaternary.
(Master thesis, 2018-06-13)The geodynamic evolution of the Scandinavian topography is the cause of a controversy with several competing hypotheses. Western Scandinavia is characterized by dramatic fjords and high-altitude low-relief surfaces, which ... -
Quantitative interpretation using inverse rock-physics modeling on AVO data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08)Quantitative seismic interpretation has become an important and critical technology for improved hydrocarbon exploration and production. However, this is typically a resource-demanding process that requires information ... -

Ray-Born Modelling and Full Waveform Inversion
(Master thesis, 2013-06-03)Seismic forward modelling is used to simulate seismic wave propagation in the subsurface. Common modelling techniques include methods such as the ray-Born approximation and the finite difference method. In this thesis I ... -
Re-evaluation and extension of the Marine Isotope Stage 5 tephrostratigraphy of the Faroe Islands region: The cryptotephra record
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-01)Previous studies of marine sequences from the Faroe Islands region have identified a series of coarse-grained tephra horizons deposited during Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5. Here we reassess the MIS 5 tephrostratigraphy of ... -
A reappraisal of the H–κ stacking technique: implications for global crustal structure
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)H–κ stacking is used routinely to infer crustal thickness and bulk-crustal VP/VS ratio from teleseismic receiver functions. The method assumes that the largest amplitude P-to-S conversions beneath the seismograph station ... -
Reconnaissance report and preliminary ground motion simulation of the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010)The Mw = 8.0Wenchuan earthquake of May 12, 2008, caused destruction over a wide area. The earthquake cost more than 69,000 lives and the damage is reported to have left more than 5 million people homeless. It is estimated ... -
Reconstruction of changes in the Weddell Sea sector of the Antarctic Ice Sheet 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 ... -
Reconstruction of glacier variability from lake sediments reveals dynamic Holocene climate in Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-09-12)The Arctic is warming faster than anywhere else on Earth. Holocene proxy time-series are increasingly used to put this amplified response in perspective by understanding Arctic climate processes beyond the instrumental ... -
Record-breaking height for 8000-Year-Old tsunami in the North Atlantic

Reducing Uncertainties in Carbonate Clumped Isotope Analysis Through Consistent Carbonate-Based Standardization
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)About a decade after its introduction, the field of carbonate clumped isotope thermometry is rapidly expanding because of the large number of possible applications and its potential to solve long‐standing questions in Earth ... -
Refining benthic foraminiferal Mg/Ca-temperature calibrations using core-tops from the western tropical Atlantic: Implication for paleotemperature estimation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-04)Benthic foraminiferal Mg/Ca has been shown to have great potential as a proxy for reconstructing deep water temperatures. However, the exact relationship between Mg uptake in benthic foraminifera and temperature is still ... -
Rekonstruksjon av flommer i Vossovassdraget de siste tusen år
(Master thesis, 2018-06-20)Lake sediments have the potential to register past flood events beyond historical and instrumental archives. In this study, several sediment cores from the bottom of lake Vangsvatnet have been studied to identify flood ... -
Rekonstruksjon av holosen breaktivitet i vestlig sektor av Nordfonna, Folgefonna. En studie basert på analyser av innsjøkjerner og kvartærgeologisk kartlegging
(Master thesis, 2014-06-02)Denne masteroppgaven fokuserer hovedsakelig på bre- og klimafluktuasjoner i vestlig sektor av Nordfonna, Folgefonna. Arbeidet vil baseres på 1) kvartærgeologisk kartlegging av områdene rund brefronten til Juklavassbreen ... -
Rekonstruksjon av innlandsisen i Geiranger i yngre dryas og kvartærgeologisk kartlegging av Grinddalen
(Master thesis, 2018-06-13)The coastal areas of Sunnmøre has been subject to several previous studies, and they show that these areas were ice-free early in the deglaciation after LGM (last glacial maximum). Less research has been done on the ... -
Rekonstruksjon av isavsmeltingsforløpet i Gråsteindal-området, indre Sunnmøre
(Master thesis, 2017-12-07)The North-Western part of Norway became ice free during the Late Weichselian glaciation and the ice margin is mapped across several fjord districts. Distinct moraine systems in the high mountains indicate an extensive local ... -
