Four hundred million years ago, rocks that are found along the present day Norwegian coast were situated in the deep root underneath a huge mountain range. Through movements of the Earth’s crust that are caused by stresses ...

This thesis presents a study of the landsystem of the Svalbard tidewater glacier Paulabreen and its late Holocene surge moraines, focusing on the glaciology and the glacial geology. An active surge of Skobreen/Paulabreen ...

This thesis entitled “Compaction of siliceous sediments – Implications for basin modeling and seismic interpretation” has been submitted to the Department of Geosciences at the University of Oslo in agreement with the ...

Despite the large improvements of numerical weather prediction models (NWP) during the last decades, including more advanced data assimilation methods that allow extensive use of satellite data, such models still occasionally ...

The fourth assessment report on climate change (AR4) was released in 2007 and the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) derive an increase of 0.74 ± 0.18°C in the 100 year global mean surface temperature linear ...

Magma transport through the Earth’s crust often ends in sedimentary basins. While it erupts at the surface, a significant part of the magma emplaces in depth in the basin forming sheet complexes dominated by horizontal ...

This thesis is submitted for the Philosophy Doctor degree in Petroleum Geophysics at the Section of Petroleum Geology and Geophysics (PEGG), Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo. This study has been financially ...

Polar lows are important for society because of the sometimes extreme and potentially destructive weather that accompanies them. They appear most frequently at high latitudes on the northern hemisphere, especially over the ...

The thesis investigates and proposes a suitable form of collecting, organizing and analysing landslide data in order to improve the knowledge of landslide processes in Central America. The study recommends the organization ...

This dissertation was motivated by the realization that four concepts, which are too simplistic, are widely assumed in the petroleum industry: First, mechanical compaction and associated disequilibrium compaction are ...

The main goal of this work was to evaluate the possibility of estimating the flow parameters and geological structure of the unsaturated zone, also called vadose zone, using both geophysical and hydrological data and ...

The thesis considers trends in European emissions over the past several decades, the quality of these emission inventories and the environmental impact of the emission trends. The focus is on sulfur dioxide and nitrogen ...

The thesis is presented as a collection of three scientific papers dealing with the chemical and mechanical feedbacks accompanying hydration processes in ultramafic rocks. The first paper deals with the petrological and ...
