Boundary layer processes affecting dense water flow on a slope

Overflow at submarine ridges, and especially through channels is of the great importance for the global thermohaline circulation and interannual climate variability. Significant near-bottom mixing is usually observed within dense overflows from marginal s eas. These bottom-intensified currents co...

Fluid flow and overpressure in fault zones and fracture systems in West Norway

To analyse groundwater flow and potential yield in fault zones in West Norway, and to characterise fluid flow in fracture networks outside these fault zones, there will be: - Statistical studies and modelling of groundwater-conducting fracture systems (re servoirs) using extensive new field data ...

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. ...

Groundwater residence times and contaminant transport in the Gardermoen aquifer

The Gardermoen aquifer has been object for extensive research in recent years, however the efforts have been focused on the upper part of the aquifer. There is limited knowledge on deep groundwater at Gardermoen in particular, and in Norway in general. Es pecially regarding renewal of the groundw...

Mass transport in free barotropic and baroclinic Sverdrup waves in a viscous rotating ocean

The fact that friction significantly modifies long barotropic waves was first demonstrated by Sverdrup (1927) and Fjeldstad (1929) in their analyses of the semi-diurnal tides on the North Siberian Shelf. Features such as reduced phase speed, decreasing am plitude as the waves progress and phase l...

The interaction between subglacial hydrology, basal sliding and the basal ice at Engabreen, Norway

A major unsolved problem in glaciology concerns the interaction between glacier basal sliding and the subglacial hydrologic system. Despite four decades of modern theorizing and field endeavors, the role of the subglacial drainage system in modulating the speed at which glaciers flow is still rel...

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...

The impact of Greenland's orography on airflow over the North Atlantic

The Icelandic low is a dominating feature in the air pressure distribution in the Northe Atlantic region in wintertime. It exerts a very strong influence on the climate of Europe by bringing mild, humid air from the Atlantic towards continental Europe. Th ere are reasons to believe that many feat...
