Gilbert-type deltas form where a river system debouches into a relatively deep marine or lacustrine basin, whereby the subaqueous delta slope is steep and fully dominated by sediment gravity-transport processes. These ...

Safe CO_2 storage in the Utsira Formation is one of many solutions to climate change mitigation. A major leakage had occurred in the Utsira Formation in 2008, due to water injection in what was believed to be the Utsira ...

The Younger Dryas (YD) cold event was discovered in Denmark by Hartz and Mithers in 1904 and the term coined by Hartz in 1912. It was identified as a lacustrine clay bed containing plant macrofossils of an Arctic flora, ...

Two atmospheric circulation patterns, the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) and mid-latitude Westerlies control precipitation and thus glacier variability in the Himalaya. However, the role of the ISM and westerlies in controlling ...

The aim of this study is to investigate and characterize distribution of deformation and damage associated with relays and tips of normal faults at a range of scales. This is done through field based studies and digital ...

Loki’s Castle is a hydrothermal vent field situated on the ultra-slow Arctic mid-Ocean ridges, at the boundary of the Mohns- and Knipovich segments (73◦30’N, 08◦E), and consists of two sulfide mounds and associated black ...

On 21 February 2008, an earthquake of magnitude Mw 6.1 occurred in Storfjorden on Svalbard. Since then, more than 2000 earthquakes have been recorded in this region. More recently, on 29 March 2016, an earthquake of magnitude ...

Progressive integration of drainage networks during active crustal extension is observed in continental areas around the globe. This phenomenon is often explained in terms of headward erosion, controlled by the distance ...

Drumlin relief is a key parameter for testing predictions of models of drumlin formation. Although this metric is commonly described in textbooks as being of the order of a fewtens ofmetres, our critical review of the ...
