NE Atlantic continental slope stability from a numerical modeling perspective
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-01)Trough mouth fans are environments characterized by high sediment supply during glacial stages and the occurrence of large-scale instabilities. The geological record indicates that several of these environments have failed ... -
Near-surface temperature changes in the Denmark Strait over a Dansgaard-Oeschger cycle
(Master thesis, 2018-12-15)The Greenland ice core record shows large and abrupt temperature increases that interrupted the cold climate of the last glacial period. These events, known as Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) events have been linked with climate ... -
A new deglacial climate and sea-level record from 20 to 8 ka from IODP381 site M0080, Alkyonides Gulf, eastern Mediterranean
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Records of relative sea-level rise for the last deglaciation are mostly limited to coral reef records and geophysical model estimates, but observational data from regions with temperate climates is sparse. We present a new ... -
New flood frequency estimates for the largest river in Norway based on the combination of short and long time series
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The Glomma River is the largest in Norway, with a catchment area of 154 450 km2. People living near the shores of this river are frequently exposed to destructive floods that impair local cities and communities. Unfortunately, ... -
A new global ice sheet reconstruction for the past 80 000 years
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The evolution of past global ice sheets is highly uncertain. One example is the missing ice problem during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 26 000-19 000 years before present) – an apparent 8-28 m discrepancy between far-field ... -
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 ... -
A new tectono-magmatic model for the Lofoten/Vesterålen Margin at the outer limit of the Iceland Plume influence
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10)The Early Eocene continental breakup was magma-rich and formed part of the North Atlantic Igneous Province. Extrusive and intrusive magmatism was abundant on the continental side, and a thick oceanic crust was produced up ... -
Nitrite accumulation and anammox bacterial niche partitioning in Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge sediments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)By consuming ammonium and nitrite, anammox bacteria form an important functional guild in nitrogen cycling in many environments, including marine sediments. However, their distribution and impact on the important substrate ... -
Non-linear retreat of Jakobshavn Isbræ since the Little Ice Age controlled by geometry
(Journal article, 2017-09)Rapid acceleration and retreat of Greenland's marine-terminating glaciers during the last two decades have initiated questions on the trigger and processes governing observed changes. Destabilization of these glaciers ... -
Normal fault growth and fault zone architecture of normal faults exposed in the Corinth Canal, central Greece
(Master thesis, 2016-08-22)The Corinth Canal in central Greece consists of an excellent natural transect across a population of normal faults. This study presents a structural analysis of 23 exposed faults, focusing on fault geometry, fault zone ... -
Normal Fault Kinematics and the Role of Lateral Tip Retreat: An Example From Offshore NW Australia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Understanding how normal faults grow is key to determining the tectono-stratigraphic evolution of rifts. According to recent studies, normal faults tend to grow in two temporally distinct stages: a lengthening stage, ... -
North Atlantic surface ocean warming and salinization in response to middle Eocene greenhouse warming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Quantitative reconstructions of hydrological change during ancient greenhouse warming events provide valuable insight into warmer-than-modern hydrological cycles but are limited by paleoclimate proxy uncertainties. We ... -
Northeast Atlantic breakup volcanism and consequences for Paleogene climate change – MagellanPlus Workshop report
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-12-02)The northeast Atlantic encompasses archetypal examples of volcanic rifted margins. Twenty-five years after the last ODP (Ocean Drilling Program) leg on these volcanic margins, the reasons for excess melting are still ... -
Northern hemisphere glaciation during the globally warm early late Pliocene
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-12-12)The early Late Pliocene (3.6 to ,3.0 million years ago) is the last extended interval in Earth’s history when atmospheric CO2 concentrations were comparable to today’s and global climate was warmer. Yet a severe global ... -
Northward shifts in the polar front preceded Bølling and Holocene warming in southwestern Scandinavia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The last deglaciation in northern Europe provides an opportunity to study the hydrologic component of abrupt climate shifts in a region with complex interactions between ice sheets and oceanic and atmospheric circulation. ... -
Norwegian margin outer shelf cracking: a consequence of climate-induced gas hydrate dissociation?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010)A series of en echelon cracks run nearly parallel to the outer shelf edge of the mid-Norwegian margin. The features can be followed in a *60-km-long and *5-km-wide zone in which up to 10-m-deep cracks developed in the ... -
Numerical quantification of inheritance in 10Be surface exposure dating of rock avalanche deposits: a case study of the Hølen rock avalanche, northern Norway
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)Nedarvet kosmogene nuklider er en velkjent, men ofte utelatt usikkerhet når 10Be overflatedatering brukes for a datere fjellskredavsetninger på grunn av hvor utfordrende det kan være å kvantifisere denne usikkerheten. Hvis ... -
Numerical simulation of turbidity currents: a new perspective for small- and large-scale sedimentological experiments
(Master thesis, 2007)Turbidity currents are a variety of subaqueous sediment-gravity flows, in which the suspension of sediment by water turbulence produces a water-sediment mixture that is denser than the ambient water and hence flows due to ... -
Nutrient‑limited subarctic caves harbour more diverse and complex bacterial communities than their surface soil
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Subarctic regions are particularly vulnerable to climate change, yet little is known about nutrient availability and biodiversity of their cave ecosystems. Such knowledge is crucial for predicting the vulnerability ...
