Topfinancing "Impact of Timanian faults on Arctic Tectonics"

ArcTec proposes to study (1) the westward extent, kinematics and timing of formation, and (2) reactivation–overprint of Timanian (i.e., ca. 600 million years old) faults during subsequent tectonic events in the Arctic, and to (3) insert these faults into a detailed tectonic evolution model for Sv...

Assessing the timing of paleo fluid circulation within the Longyearbyen CO2 Lab: a comparison between field, laboratory, and core data.

The main aim of this project is to constrain the spatio-temporal paleo fluid circulation within the Agardhfjellet Fm., along part of the Billefjorden fault zone, and associated to the early Cretaceous magmatic intrusions of the Diabasodden suit, assessing the long-term permeability behavior of th...

Tectonics, uplift and long term landscape evolution and inheritance onshore the western Svalbard margin

The Eocene to Oligocene Forlandsundet basin likely records the transition from transpression and orogeny to transtension and rifting along the western Svalbard margin. Basin sediments are exposed onshore parts of the eastern coast of Prins Karls Forland, making it an ideal site to study the kinem...

ANIsotropic viscosity in MAntle dynamics

I ANIMA undersøker vi bevegelser i jordens mantel, som strekker seg ned til 2900 km under jordoverflaten. Under de stive litosfærene platene (~ 100 km tykke) deformeres mantelen på en flytende (viskøs) måte under påvirkning av langvarige tektoniske krefter. Deformasjon er vanligvis veldig langsom...

EPIC: Untangling Ediacaran Paleomagnetism to Contextualize Immense Global Change

Målet med EPIC er å løse en langvarig gåte om forklaringen bak raske og tilsynelatende avvikende endringer i globale paleomagnetiske data mellom 635 og 520 millioner år siden. Disse mystiske endringene har forhindret en forståelse av global paleogeografi på et viktig tidspunkt i Jordens evolusjon...

Emergent networks: Predicting strain localization and fracture network development

Hvordan kan vi estimere tidspunktet for det neste store jordskjelvet? Evnen til å estimere når det neste store jordskjelvet vil oppstå på et bestemt sted (f.eks., Los Angeles) vil gi umiddelbare samfunnsmessige og økonomiske fordeler. Observasjoner av naturlige jordskjelv fra jordskorpen og av jo...

Changes at the Top of the World through Volcanism and Plate Tectonics: Arctic Norwegian-Russian-North American collaboration (NOR-R-AM2)

NOR-R-AM-prosjekt samler forskere fra Norge, Russland, USA og Canada som vil bygge en kunnskapsplattform for å vurdere vår forståelse om Arktisk geologi. Siden vitenskap om Solid Earth blir oversett i polarvitenskapene, planer vi å bygge broen over dette gapet og å fortsette å etablere, opprettho...

Spatial and temporal coupling between tectonics and surface processes during lithosphere inversion of the Pyrenean-Cantabrian mountain belt

While there is significant progress in understanding first order controls on styles of rifting and passive margin formation, still relatively little is known about factors that control the structural style of inversion of these structures. Especially the importance of structural weaknesses forme...
