    • 1.80–1.75 Ga granite suites in the west Troms Basement Complex, northern Norway: Palaeoproterozoic magma emplacement during advancing accretionary orogeny, from field observations 

      Bergh, Steffen Gunnar; Haaland, Linda Cecilia; Arbaret, L.; Coint, Nolwenn; Forien, Melanie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-25)
      The Ersfjord Granite is part of a suite of c.1.80–1.75 Ga syeno-granites in the West Troms Basement Complex, northern Norway, presumed to belong to the Transscandinavian Igneous Belt (TIB-1) in the Fennoscandian Shield. Previous data suggest the granite formed post-collisional and ascended as a batholith pluton from a source generated by delamination of mafic-intermediate lower crust. We argue that ...

    • A 10-year record of Arctic summer sea ice freeboard from CryoSat-2 

      Dawson, Geoffrey; Landy, Jack Christopher; Tsamados, Michel; Komarov, Alexander S.; Howell, Stephen; Heorten, Harold; Krumpen, Thomas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-29)
      Satellite observations of pan-Arctic sea ice thickness have so far been constrained to winter months. For radar altimeters, conventional methods cannot differentiate leads from meltwater ponds that accumulate at the ice surface in summer months, which is a critical step in the ice thickness calculation. Here, we use over 350 optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images from the summer months ...

    • The 16-day planetary waves: multi-MF radar observations from the arctic to equator and comparisons with the HRDI measurements and the GSWM modelling results 

      Hall, Chris; Luo, Y.; Manson, A.H.; Meek, C.E.; Meyer, C.K.; Burrage, M.D.; Fritts, D.C.; Hocking, W.K.; MacDougall, J.; Riggin, D.M.; Vincent, R.A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2002)

Based on the simultaneous observations (1993/1994), the variabilities ...

    • A 160,000-year-old history of tectonically controlled methane seepage in the Arctic 

      Himmler, Tobias; Sahy, Diana; Martma, Tõnu; Bohrmann, Gerhard; Plaza-Faverola, Andreia; Bünz, Stefan; Condon, Daniel J.; Knies, Jochen; Lepland, Aivo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-07)
      The geological factors controlling gas release from Arctic deep-water gas reservoirs through seabed methane seeps are poorly constrained. This is partly due to limited data on the precise chronology of past methane emission episodes. Here, we use uranium-thorium dating of seep carbonates sampled from the seabed and from cores drilled at the Vestnesa Ridge, off West Svalbard (79°N, ~1200 m water ...

    • 21st Century Scenario Forcing Increases More for CMIP6 Than CMIP5 Models 

      Fredriksen, Hege-Beate; Smith, Christopher J.; Modak, Angshuman; Rugenstein, Maria (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-16)
      Although the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 (CMIP6) protocol provides an experiment to estimate effective radiative forcing (ERF), it is only quantified for few models. We present new estimates of ERF for models participating in CMIP6 by applying the method developed in Fredriksen et al. (2021, https://doi.org/10.1029/2020JD034145), and validate our approach with available fixed-SST forcing ...

      Martiuk, Daria (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-06-21)
      Three-dimensional (3-D) seismic interpretations of data from the Samson Dome show direct connection between the local geological evolution of the area and the regional tectonic and stratigraphic development of the western Barents Sea. Rifting events, halokinetic movements, uplift and glacial processes influenced the area of the Samson Dome. The Samson Dome structure, located in the south-western ...

    • A 30-year probability map for oil spill trajectories in the barents sea to assess potential environmental and socio-economic threats 

      Pavlov, Victor; Martins de Aguiar, Victor Cesar; Hole, Lars Robert; Pongrácz, Eva (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-24)
      Increasing exploration and exploitation activity in the Arctic Ocean has intensified maritime traffic in the Barents Sea. Due to the sparse population and insufficient oil spill response infrastructure on the extensive Barents Sea shoreline, it is necessary to address the possibility of offshore accidents and study hazards to the local environment and its resources. Simulations of surface oil ...
