    • Seal integrity in the uplifted basins in the greater Hoop area on the Northern Barents Shelf 

      Paulsen, Renate Strugstad; Grundvåg, Sten-Andreas; Senger, Kim; Stueland, Eirik (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2019)
      The geological evolution of the northern Barents Shelf is complex, and the area has undergone several phases of tectonic activity leading to a mosaic of several deep and shallow basins, platforms, salt-cored domes and structural highs. The area is highly gas prone with some very few commercial oil discoveries, and only two fields currently in production. Deep burial and subsequent Late Cretaceous–Cenozoic ...

    • Trap and seal analysis of the northern Barents Shelf 

      Paulsen, Renate Strugstad (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2018)
      Although the majority of exploration wells in the Barents Sea has encountered hydrocarbons, only two fields, the Snøhvit (gas) and Goliat (oil) fields are currently in production. The geological evolution of the area, including previous deep burial and subsequent exhumation, has contributed to the leakage of hydrocarbon from many traps. Understanding the timing of hydrocarbon generation and migration, ...

    • The Cenozoic pre-glacial tectono-sedimentary development of the western Barents Sea margin: implications for uplift and erosion of the sediment source areas 

      Lasabuda, Amando Putra Ersaid; Laberg, Jan Sverre; Knutsen, Stig-Morten; Safronova, Polina; Høgseth, Gert (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2017)
      <p>The Cenozoic development of the western Barents Sea continental margin is strongly related to the rifting and seafloor spreading between Norway and Greenland. The margin is characterized by a series of highs and basins that formed as part of the development of a mega-transform zone. To the north, the Spitsbergen Fold and Thrust Belt and the Eocene clinoform development in the Central Basin that ...

      The purpose of this paper is to present and discuss pedagogical frameworks and approaches to developing, delivering, and evaluating a new interdisciplinary course within the domain of energy informatics at both Master’s and PhD levels. This study is needed because many papers on sustainable energy engineering education concentrate on course content but provide very little information on the ...

    • Integrating incidence-angle compensation in the segmentation of UAVSAR images 

      Cristea, Anca; Doulgeris, Anthony Paul (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2018)
      <p>SAR images display a characteristic intensity variation along the range dimension, caused by the fact that the backscattered intensities depend on the incidence angle. In the case of wide-swath images, this intensity variation from near range to far range is significant enough to affect image segmentation performed on absolute intensity values. The effects are an over-segmentation which creates ...

    • Modeling Microwave Scattering From Rough Sea Ice Surfaces 

      Xu, Xu; Doulgeris, Anthony Paul; Melandsø, Frank; Brekke, Camilla (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2017)
      In this paper, COMSOL Multiphysics® was used to simulate the microwave scattering from the rough sea ice surface. A nonperiodic model and a periodic model were built. The nonperiodic model considers the rough surface of finite length and introduces a tapered incident wave. In this model, the strategy of total and scattered-field decomposition (TSFD) was used to formulate the finite-element method ...

    • Self-similarity of intrasalt thrust faults: Lessons from offshore Levant Basin and the Dead Sea 

      Kartveit, Kyrre Heldal; Omosanya, Kamaldeen Olakunle; Eruteya, Ovie; Johansen, Ståle Emil; Waldmann, Nicolas D.; Reshef, Moshe (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2017)
      The Levant Basin in the eastern Mediterranean Sea developed during rifting episodes occurring from Permian to the Early Jurassic (Netzeband et al. 2006; Gardosh et al. 2010), and has been a deep-water basin with a passive continental margin at least since the Cretaceous (Gardosh et al. 2008). Thick sequences of halite and interbedded shales (stringers) were deposited during the infamous Messinian ...

    • Label-free imaging on waveguide platform with enhanced resolution and contrast 

      Jayakumar, Nikhil; Dullo, Firehun Tsige; Dubey, Vishesh Kumar; Ahmad, Azeem; Cauzzo, Jennifer; Mazagao Guerreiro, Eduarda; Snir, Omri; Skalko-Basnet, Natasa; Agarwal, Krishna; Ahluwalia, Balpreet Singh (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2021)
      Chip-based Evanescent Light Scattering (cELS) utilizes the multiple modes of a high-index contrast optical waveguide for near-field illumination of unlabeled samples, thereby repositioning the highest spatial frequencies of the sample into the far-field. The multiple modes scattering off the sample with different phase differences is engineered to have random spatial distributions within the integration ...

      Mann, Ingrid (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2018)

    • Radar studies of ionospheric dust - plasma phenomena 

      Mann, Ingrid (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2018)
      Dust plasma phenomena occur in the Earth ionosphere in particular in the meteor ablation zone at altitudes ~50-95 km and above where radar meteors form. Radar also detect coherent polar mesospheric radar echoes (PME), i.e. radar echoes that are caused by spatial variations in the plasma refractive index at around 80 to 90 km altitude in the Earth’s mesosphere. During summer, PM(S)E form in the ...

    • Lateral membrane organization as target of an antimicrobial peptidomimetic compound 

      Melcrová, Adéla; Maity, Sourav; Melcr, Josef; de Kok, Niels A. W.; Gabler, Mariella; van der Eyden, Jonne; Stensen, Wenche Gunvor Berg; Svendsen, John Sigurd Mjøen; Driessen, Arnold J. M.; Marrink, Siewert J.; Roos, Wouter H. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-07)
      Antimicrobial resistance is one of the leading concerns in medical care. Here we study the mechanism of action of an antimicrobial cationic tripeptide, AMC-109, by combining high speed-atomic force microscopy, molecular dynamics, fluorescence assays, and lipidomic analysis. We show that AMC-109 activity on negatively charged membranes derived from Staphylococcus aureus consists of two crucial steps. ...

    • The Fate of Nanodust near the Sun - Comparison of Sputtering and Sublimation lifetimes during CMEs 

      Baumann, Carsten; Myrvang, Margaretha; Stamm, Johann Immanuel; Mann, Ingrid (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2018)
      The dust environment in the inner Solar system has not been probed so far, but ESA’s Solar Orbiter (2020) and NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (2018) are about cross the inner solar system. From [1] we expect a layer of trapper Nanodust around the Sun. [2] investigated the interaction of grains with the Solar wind. But what is the dust’s fate when they are struck by a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). Are they ...

    • Statistical properties of fluctuation driven flows in the outboard mid-plane SOL of Alcator C-Mod 

      Kube, Ralph; Garcia, Odd Erik; Theodorsen, Audun; Kuang, Adam; Brunner, Dan; LaBombard, Brian; Terry, Jim L. (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2018)
      The scale length of the radial density profile in scrape-off layer plasmas has been shown to depend on the line-averaged plasma density. While first reported on AlcatorC-Mod, recent work verifies this phenomena in JET and ASDEX Upgrade. In low density plasmas with a sheath-limited SOL, the density profiles present a two-scale structure which allows the separation of the SOL into two distinct regions. ...

    • Glacigenic landforms and sediments in Store Koldewey Trough, NE Greenland – preliminary results 

      Olsen, Ingrid Leirvik; Forwick, Matthias; Laberg, Jan Sverre; Rydningen, Tom Arne; Husum, Katrine (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2018-04)
      The glaciation history of NE Greenland remains poorly constrained, resulting in conceptual and uncertain reconstructions of the configuration of the Greenland Ice Sheet during the Last Glacial Maximum (c. 24-19 ka BP), as well as the timing and the dynamics of the deglaciation. New studies suggests that the ice sheet in NE Greenland probably was more dynamic than previously thought, extending all ...

    • Arctic, marine bacteria and their ability to produce polyhydroxyalkonates (PHAs) using underexploited biomass as nutrient source 

      Christensen, Mikkel (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2017)
      <p>In this project we are studying marine bacteria and their ability to produce polyhydroxyalkonates (PHAs), a fully biodegradable polyester known as bioplastic. Bioplastics can replace petroleum-based plastics in many applications. PHAs accumulate as intracellular carbon and energy storages when the bacteria grow in an environment with nutrient imbalance. The monomeric building blocks in the PHA ...
