Impact of icebergs on the seasonal submarine melt of Sermeq Kujalleq
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The role of icebergs in narrow fjords hosting marine-terminating glaciers in Greenland is poorly understood, even though iceberg melt results in a substantial freshwater flux that can exceed the subglacial discharge. ... -
Global scale analysis on the extent of river channel belts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Rivers form channel belts that encompass the area of the river channel and its associated levees, bars, splays and overbank landforms. The channel belt is critical for understanding the physical river evolution through ... -
Unraveling the mechanisms and implications of a stronger mid-Pliocene Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in PlioMIP2
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The mid-Pliocene warm period (3.264–3.025 Ma) is the most recent geological period in which the atmospheric CO2 concentration was approximately equal to the concentration we measure today (ca. 400 ppm). Sea surface temperature ... -
Analysis of storm surge events along the Norwegian coast
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-08)Observed extreme sea levels are caused by a combination of extreme astronomical tide and extreme storm surge, or by an extreme value in one of these variables and a moderate value in the other. We analyzed measurements ... -
Paleoenvironmental and diagenetic evolution of the Aptian Pre-Salt succession in Namibe Basin (Onshore Angola)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The Aptian Pre-Salt sedimentary succession cropping out in Cangulo palaeovalley onshore Namibe Basin (Angola) was studied by a combination of field and analytical techniques to constrain the sedimentary and diagenetic ... -
Ocean–Ice Sheet Coupling in the Totten Glacier Area, East Antarctica: Analysis of the Feedbacks and Their Response to a Sudden Ocean Warming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-01)We coupled together high-resolution versions of the ocean–sea ice model NEMO and the ice sheet model BISICLES configured to the Totten Glacier area and ran a series of simulations over the recent past (1995–2014) and under ... -
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 ... -
Atlantic circulation changes across a stadial-interstadial transition
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We combine consistently dated benthic carbon isotopic records distributed over the entire Atlantic Ocean with numerical simulations performed by a glacial configuration of the Norwegian Earth System Model with active ocean ... -
The Moho Architecture and Its Role for Isostasy—Insights From the Lofoten-Vesterålen Rifted Margin, Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The crustal structure of the Nordland and Troms region, Norway, has received growing scientific attention because (a) the region is one of the most seismically active areas of mainland Norway, and (b) there are differing ... -
West Spitsbergen fold and thrust belt: A digital educational data package for teaching structural geology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The discipline of structural geology is taking an advantage of compiling observations from multiple field sites to comprehend the bigger picture and constrain the region's geological evolution. In this study we demonstrate ... -
Full Waveform Inversion and Multi-Diagonal Inversion for Monitoring of CO2 Storage at Sleipner
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Carbon capture and storage (CCS) can become necessary for mitigating climate change. However, storing CO2 in subsurface reservoirs requires thorough monitoring. The most accurate and widespread type of monitoring is seismic ... -
Microseismic Waveform Modeling and Inversion using Finite-Difference and Global Optimization
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Estimating microseismic source parameters is an essential part of a microseismic monitoring project. Typically the microseismic source position and origin time are estimated utilizing kinematic methods, while the moment ... -
Stratigraphic and Tectonic development of the Nyk High
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)This thesis aims to develop a holistic model of the stratigraphical and tectonic development of the Nyk High structure in the Northern Vøring Basin, explicitly focusing on the Cretaceous-Paleocene transition. The thesis ... -
Miljøkonsekvenser av tidligere gruvedrift på Litlabø, Stord
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Gruvedrift medfører miljøutfordringer, der håndteringen av sulfidholdige overskuddsmasser er spesielt utfordrende siden oksidering og forvitring av disse massene ofte medfører sur avrenning og utlekking av miljøskadelige ... -
Fault Zone Characterization and Monitoring of CO2 Storage using Full Waveform Inversion
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)CO2 storage in geological formations is essential to limit global warming and reduce the effects of climate change. In order to store CO2 safely and prevent leakage, proper sealing mechanisms are required. Faults are complex ... -
Skredkartlegging i Austrepollen, Kvinnherad Kommune, Vestland
(Master thesis, 2023-06-15)Skredprosessar er eit stort risikomoment mange stader i Noreg. For å redusera risikoen på menneske, bygg og infrastruktur kan det gjerast skredfarevurderingar for å vurdera tryggleiken til eksisterande strukturar eller ... -
Elastic Seismic Imaging and Probabilistic AVO Inversion: Application to CO2 Storage at Sleipner
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)In order to reduce the effect of global warming, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is considered to be important as it reduces the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. Geophysical monitoring is essential for safe storage of ... -
The post-Caledonian tectono-thermal evolution of Western Norway
(Doctoral thesis, 2023-06-19)En riftet kontinentalmargin viser ofte et karakteristisk landskap som domineres av høye og flate fjell som er separert fra en lavtliggende kyststripe av en tydelig skrent. Mye av vår nåværende forståelse av disse områdene ... -
