IS-BILAT-Mobilitet Norge-USA /Canada

Modeling climate, glaciation and sea level changes in the N. Atlantic and human migration aspects of early Fennoscandian settlements.

Climatic and sea level changes are complex processes which require very advanced mathematical and physical skills for proper dynamic modeling. For example; glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) after deglaciation caused central parts of Fennoscandia to rais e roughly 1000 m over the last 10000 year...

The Jan Mayen micro-continent - Searching for new knowledge on prospectivity, basin evolution and sediment provenance

The Norwegian continental margin has been extensively studied through a large number of seismic surveys and drill holes, and the subsurface geology is therefore generally well known. In comparison, the knowledge on the subsurface geology of the conjugate East Greenland margin is rudimentary. More...

Life in the volcanic crust of the early Earth: conditions, timing and depth

Over the past decade, our group has provided convincing evidence that alteration of basaltic glass in pillow lavas of modern and ancient oceanic crust is partially controlled by microbial activity. As a result, bioactivity may have important implications for global chemical fluxes and the evoluti...
