POLARPROG-Polarforskningsprogram

Arctic Ocean Stratigraphic Conference

The Arctic is currently undergoing the most dramatic climatic changes on Earth, with the Arctic Ocean rapidly moving towards a “blue” (summer sea ice free) state. To assess how a “blue” Arctic will respond to and drive an increasingly warmer future, in the absence of observational records, requir...

KLIMAFORSK-Stort program klima

Present and past climate change impacts on Norwegian fjord ecosystems

Hovedmålsetningen til prosjektet PASTIME er å finne ut hvordan miljøforandringer påvirker mikroorganismer i norske fjorder. Klimaendringer og menneskelig påvirkning har innflytelse på marint liv og på fjorders økosystem. Økt temperatur, redusert oksygennivå, og is som forsvinner fra arktiske fjor...

PETROMAKS2-Stort program petroleum

Paleogene Basin Development on the Vøring and Møre Margins (PALMAR)

Den geologiske utviklingen av den midtnorske kontinentalmarginen utenfor Trøndelag og Nordland ble sterkt påvirket av massiv vulkanisme for rundt 56 millioner år siden. På dette tidspunktet skilte Norge og Grønland lag og Norskehavet ble dannet. Den massive vulkanismen utløste sannsynligvis en 4-...

SSF-Svalbard Science Forum

Deposition and Preservation of Carbonates in Tectonically Active Regimes (RiS ID: 11784).

Following the breakup of the Caledonian orogeny, Svalbard experienced extension and strike-slip tectonics forming a complex network of basement highs and sedimentary basins. Within geology it is important to have models of how uplift and subsidence around large-scale lineaments influences deposit...

Tectonostratigraphic evolution of the Billefjorden Group Sediments on Bjørnøya and Hornsund, RiS ID 11764

This project is the backbone of my PhD topic for which I investigate the tectonic and climatic forcing on Upper Paleozoic rift basin sequences on Bjørnøya and Hornsund. The main goal for the fieldwork is to visit exposed outcrops, acquire sedimentary descriptions, logs, collect samples and to acq...

Svalbox 2.0 – FAIR geoscientific data from Svalbard

The Svalbox 2.0 project strives to make digital models from Svalbard across all scales (from "seismic-scale" mountain-sides to digital drill cores) openly and freely available to the geoscientific community through the FAIR EU-funded repository Zenodo. In addition, the portal places these in a re...

EvoCave: Investigating 122 000 years of high-latitude faunal diversity using palaeozoology, archaeology, palaeoecology and ancient DNA

Igjennom den siste interglasiale-glasiale syklus (120 000 år) har klimaet på den nordlige halvkule endret seg fra en varmeperiode lik den vi lever i nå, inn i en full istid og så tilbake til vår tid. Gjennom å forstå endringer i biologisk mangfold i tidligere tidsperioder med kalde og varme syklu...

Strain Partitioning and Decoupling in Hornsund during the Ellesmerian and Eurekan orogenies

This field excursion aims at studying strain partitioning and strain decoupling processes acting within the Adriabukta Formation in Hornsund during the Ellesmerian and Eurekan orogenies, and at refining the age of the Adriabukta Formation, which thus far was dated through palynological study of t...

AI Augmented Analysis in digital biostratigraphy - palynology

Biostratigrafi omhandler det å aldersbestemme bergarter ut fra fossilt materiale fra planter og dyr. Innholdet i enhver biostratigrafisk prøve varierer med alder, geografi og avsetningsmiljøet der prøven ble dannedet. I undersøkelser av geologien i undergrunnen (f. eks. innenfor olje- og gassindu...

Workshop: Proterozoic and Lower Palaeozoic basement of Svalbard - state of knowledge and new perspectives of investigations

The Proterozoic and Lower Palaeozoic basement of Svalbard represents an old geotectonic complex with elements of several earlier tectonic terranes, orogeneses and other tectonothermal events. Our knowledge of the early Earth's history of the Arctic region depends on the understanding of these. A...

The origin and early evolution of chelicerate arthropods

Arthropods, the most diverse group of Metazoa today (and in geological history), provide critical data for analysing processes and patterns in evolution. Although the overall pattern of arthropod evolution is wellknown, detailed relationships within the m ajor taxa are far from resolved. ...

Inferring evolutionary patterns from the fossil record using Bayesian inversion

The relationship between stratigraphic data and phylogenetic reconstruction in paleontology is controversial. Using phylogenies derived from cladistic analysis of fossil species to estimate the true ranges of taxa, is by many viewed as the best method of assessing the quality of the fossil recor...
