This PhD aims primarily to assess the long-term sealing capabilities of shaly seal rock units overlying potential adequate CO2 storage reservoirs. The motivation for the project has been that in order to reduce CO2 emissions ...

In plate tectonics scientists study the present and past motions of the lithospheric plates over the Earth’s surface. The reconstruction of the location and orientation of the continents and oceans in deep time is referred ...

Impact cratering is a fundamental process in the Solar System, and on solid planetary bodies like Mars and the Moon, impact cratering may be the most prominent landforming process. On the Earth several processes compete ...

Quick clay is a known hazard in formerly-glaciated coastal areas in e.g., Scandinavia and Canada, and hence significant efforts are being taken to map their occurrence and extent. Quick-clay landslide prone areas are usually ...

The Ritland structure is the remnants of a 2.7 km diameter, 350 m deep, Early to Middle Cambrian marine impact crater, located in Hjelmeland, western Norway. The impact origin of this structure was proposed in 2001 based ...

Bølgemekanismer i havet slik som ”Stokes drift” bidrar til å systematisk forflytte store mengder vannpartikler i en bestemt retning over store avstander. Stokes drift har blitt studert grundig for overflatebølger for ...

The study area is located north of Iceland in the Jan Mayen-East Greenland area, NE Atlantic. It has a number of magmatic productions. Magmatism in Iceland is related to a mantle plume bringing hot mantle up from deeper ...
