The Solund-Stavfjord Ophiolite Complex (SSOC) is located within the western Norwegian Caledonides and represents a remnant of the youngest phase of oceanic crust formation, dated to Late Ordovician (443 Ma). Detailed field ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Energy/power availability is regarded as one of the ultimate controlling factors of microbial abundance in the deep biosphere, where fewer cells are found in habitats of lower energy availability. A critical assumption ...

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 ...

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 ...
