Anticlockwise metamorphic pressure–temperature paths and nappe stacking in the Reisa Nappe Complex in the Scandinavian Caledonides, northern Norway: evidence for weakening of lower continental crust before and during continental collision
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This study investigates the tectonostratigraphy and metamorphic and tectonic evolution of the Caledonian Reisa Nappe Complex (RNC; from bottom to top: Vaddas, Kåfjord, and Nordmannvik nappes) in northern Troms, Norway. ... -
Evaluation of design flood estimates - a case study for Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive fit of probability distributions to annual maximum flood data, and in particular to evaluate (i) which combination of distribution and estimation method gives the best ... -
Groundwater discharge from a rock-slope failure system in phyllitic rocks influencing fjord basin hydrodynamics,Stampa in Aurland, western Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This study aims at providing an insight into groundwater recharge and flow in the rock-slope failure system of the Stampa area above the inner part of the Aurlandsfjord. Depending on season and precipitation, the average ... -
Holocene thinning of Darwin and Hatherton glaciers, Antarctica, and implications for grounding-line retreat in the Ross Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Chronologies of glacier deposits in the Transantarctic Mountains provide important constraints on grounding-line retreat during the last deglaciation in the Ross Sea. However, between Beardmore Glacier and Ross Island – a ... -
Key indicators of Arctic climate change: 1971–2017
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Key observational indicators of climate change in the Arctic, most spanning a 47 year period (1971–2017) demonstrate fundamental changes among nine key elements of the Arctic system. We find that, coherent with increasing ... -
Permafrost as a first order control on long-term rock-slope deformation in (Sub-)Arctic Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Assessing initiation of rock-slope deformation and paleo-slip rates of rockslides is important to understand the impact of climate variability - in particular permafrost changes - on rockslide activity. Norway, with 6–6.5% ... -
Seasonal Dynamics of Methane and Carbon Dioxide Evasion From an Open System Pingo: Lagoon Pingo, Svalbard
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The processes associated with the release of CH4 and CO2 from sub-permafrost groundwaters are considered through a year-long monitoring investigation at a terrestrial seepage site in West Spitsbergen. The site is an open ... -
Silicon isotopes in Arctic and sub-Arctic glacial meltwaters: the role of subglacial weathering in the silicon cycle
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Glacial environments play an important role in high-latitude marine nutrient cycling, potentially contributing significant fluxes of silicon (Si) to the polar oceans, either as dissolved silicon (DSi) or as dissolvable ... -
The Skuggliberga unit of the Oppdal area, central Scandinavian Caledonides: Calc-alkaline pyroclastic volcanism in a fluvial to shallow-marine basin following a mid-ordovician orogenic event
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We present field observations, geochemical data and detrital zircon U–Pb ages from the newly defined Skuggliberga unit of the Oppdal area, central Norwegian Caledonides. The unit occurs in two separate areas, where it ... -
Tsunami from the Storegga Landslide
(Chapter, 2019)The Storegga tsunami was generated by the Storegga landslide off the Norwegian coast about 8150 years ago. The tsunami deposits show that the coasts of Scotland, Norway, Shetland, Faroe Islands and possibly also Eastern ...
