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 ... -

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 ... -

Anatomy and allostratigraphy of deep-marine Mount Messenger Formation (Miocene), eastern-margin Taranaki Basin, New Zealand
(Master thesis, 2003)Purpose of study: Sedimentological description of outcropping deep-water clastics within Mount Messenger Formation. Study area: North-Taranaki coastal region, North Island, New Zealand. Methodology: Mapping on foot and ... -
Anisotropic Properties of a Mid-Lithospheric Discontinuity in eastern North America
(Master thesis, 2017-06-23)During the last few years the occurrence of a mid-lithospheric discontinuity (MLD) has been observed in lithospheric studies of cratons. Studies using receiver functions have focused mainly on extracting high resolution ... -
Antropogen påvirkning og bæreevne i turistgrotter: Grønligrotta, Mo i Rana
(Master thesis, 2018-06-20)Grønligrotta er den eneste turistgrotta i Norge med innlagt belysning og god tilrettelegging for turister. Hensikten med denne masteroppgaven har vært å undersøke hvordan turistene påvirker miljøet i grotta, og om dette ... -
Application of Clumped Isotope Thermometry to Benthic Foraminifera
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04)Obtaining absolute temperatures of the ocean in deep time is complicated by the lack of constraints on seawater chemistry. Seawater salinity, carbonate ion concentration, δ18O, and elemental abundance changes may obscure ... -
Applied Structural Geology – Case Studies of Underground Constructions and Rockslides
(Doctoral thesis, 2008-02-26)An understanding of the structural elements in the sub-surface is of great importance when establishing new constructions in bedrock, or surveying areas prone to rockslides. In this thesis the focus has been on combining ... -
Architecture of growth basins in a tidally influenced, prodelta to delta-front setting: The Triassic succession of Kvalpynten, East Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)World‐class examples of fault‐controlled growth basins with associated syn‐kinematic sedimentary fill are developed in Upper Triassic prodelta to delta‐front deposits exposed at Kvalpynten, SW Edgeøya in East Svalbard. ... -
Architecture, deformation style and petrophysical properties of growth fault systems: the Late Triassic deltaic succession of southern Edgeøya (East Svalbard)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-05-07)The Late Triassic outcrops on southern Edgeøya, East Svalbard, allow a multiscale study of syn‐sedimentary listric growth faults located in the prodelta region of a regional prograding system. At least three hierarchical ...
