Salt decollement and rift inheritance controls on crustal deformation in orogens
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-09)We investigate the factors that control the shortening distribution and its evolution through time in orogenic belts using numerical models. We present self‐consistent high‐resolution numerical models that simulate the ... -
Sand textural control on shear-enhanced compaction bands in poorly-lithified sandstone
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Sand textural control on SECB (shear-enhanced compaction band) formation is analyzed combining field observations, detailed material characterization and mechanical testing for poorly lithified sandstone units in Provence ... -
Sea ice variability in the Nordic Seas over Dansgaard–Oeschger climate cycles during the last glacial – A biomarker approach
(Doctoral thesis, 2019-02-15)The Arctic sea ice cover is in fast transition. Resolving past sea ice fluctuations and its link with abrupt climate change might be key for a better understanding of yet unknown climatic consequences of future Arctic sea ... -
Sea ice variability in the southern Norwegian Sea during glacial Dansgaard-Oeschger climate cycles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-06)The last glacial period was marked by pronounced millennial-scale variability in ocean circulation and global climate. Shifts in sea ice cover within the Nordic Seas are believed to have amplified the glacial climate ... -
Seafloor expression and shallow structure of a surfacing fold-and-thrust system: an example from Isfjorden, West Spitsbergen
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)A detailed map of the structure of the West Spitsbergen Fold-and-Thrust Belt in the shallow part of the Isfjorden area, Spitsbergen, is presented. The map was constructed from a new dense grid of 2D multichannel reflection ... -
Sediment supply controls on sequence stratigraphy
(Master thesis, 2012-06-01)A three-dimensional numerical model of deltaic deposition is used to study the influence of sediment supply changes on delta development. Sediment supply will have a cyclic variation under conditions of constant linear sea ... -
Sedimentary analysis of the deep-water (Pliocene) Pellini Member, Corinth Rift, Greece
(Master thesis, 2016-08-23)This sedimentological study focuses on the architectural elements distinguished within the deep-water Pellini Member. The Pellini Member is located south of the active Corinth rift, within the uplifted and incised ... -
Sedimentary architecture of sand bodies in the shallow marine Endalen Member, Firkanten Formation (Paleocene) of the Adventdalen Area, Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2018-06-30)The Firkanten Formation has been the object of many research projects, but due to the economic interests in the lower coal bearing Todalen Member, the upper Endalen Member has received little attention. The Endalen Member ... -
The sedimentation pattern of the last deglaciation and postglacial phase in a high-arctic valley: Endalen, Spitsbergen
(Master thesis, 2000)The present study, focused in the valley-side gravel fans in the eastern part of Endalen and the adjoining side-slope of Adventdalen, has contributed to an understanding of the spatial pattern of the late Weichselian ... -
Sedimentologi og sandkroppgeometri av Hollendardalenformasjonen, Nordenskiöld Land, Spitsbergen
(Master thesis, 2011-06-01)Hollendardalenformasjonen (senpaleocen) er første sandsteinsenhet som bygger seg ut fra den vestlige marginen av Sentralbassenget på Svalbard og markerer slik et skille fra et østlig til et vestlig kildeområde under ... -
Sedimentological and petrographical investigations of the Early Triassic Vardebukta Formation on western Spitsbergen
(Master thesis, 2017-12-06)The earliest Triassic Barents Sea Basin received sediments from three sedimentary systems. Of these, the Fennoscandian and the Uralian systems have been well studied highlighting their sedimentology, provenance, extent and ... -
Sedimentological and petrophysical analysis of the Monte Sant'Angelo Megabreccias (Cenomanian), Gargano, southern Italy
(Master thesis, 2008-06-02)The Monte Sant'Angelo Megabreccias (Cenomanian) is one of three distinct and impressive Cretaceous megabreccias exposed on the flank of the Apulian platform, Gargano Promontory, southern Italy. This thesis describes and ... -
The Sedimentological Development of the Fangst Group, Halten Terrace, Mid-Norway
(Master thesis, 2010-06-14)Cores from well 6506/12-1 of the Smørbukk Field (Halten Terrace, Mid-Norway) show a nearly complete 175 meter thick section comprising the Middle Jurassic Fangst Group and the upper part of the underlying Ror Formation of ... -
