    • Asynchronous response of marine-terminating outlet glaciers during deglaciation of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet 

      Stokes, Chris R.; Corner, Geoffrey D.; Winsborrow, Monica; Husum, Katrine; Andreassen, Karin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-03-31)
      Recent studies have highlighted the dynamic behavior of marine-terminating outlet glaciers over decadal time scales, linked to both atmospheric and oceanic warming. This helps explain episodes of nearly synchronous fl ow acceleration, thinning, and retreat, but nonclimatic factors such as changes in fjord width and depth, can also induce rapid recession. There is support for these topographic ...

    • Fault-controlled asymmetric landscapes and low-relief surfaces on Vestvågøya, Lofoten, North Norway: inherited Mesozoic rift-margin structures? 

      Bergh, Steffen G; Liland, Kristian; Corner, Geoffrey D.; Henningsen, Tormod; Lundekvam, Petter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-20)
      The Lofoten Ridge is an integral basement horst of the hyperextended continental rift-margin off northern Norway. It is a key area for studying onshore–offshore rift-related faults, and for evaluating tectonic control on landscape development along the North Atlantic margin. This paper combines onshore geomorphological relief/aspect data and fault/fracture analysis with offshore bathymetric and ...

    • Recent acceleration of a rock glacier complex, Ádjet, Norway, documented by 62 years of remote sensing observations 

      Eriksen, Harald Øverli; Rouyet, Line; Lauknes, Tom Rune; Berthling, Ivar; Hindberg, Heidi; Larsen, Yngvar; Corner, Geoffrey D. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-23)
      Recent acceleration of rock glaciers is well recognized in the European Alps, but similar behavior is hardly documented elsewhere. Also, the controlling factors are not fully understood. Here we provide evidence for acceleration of a rock glacier complex in northern Norway, from 62 years of remote sensing data. Average annual horizontal velocity measured by aerial feature tracking increased from ...

    • Structurally controlled rock slope deformation in northern Norway 

      Vick, Louise Mary; Böhme, Martina; Rouyet, Line; Bergh, Steffen G; Corner, Geoffrey D.; Lauknes, Tom Rune (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-11)
      Gravitational forcing of oversteepened rock mass leads to progressive failure, including rupture, creeping, sliding and eventual avalanching of the unstable mass. As the point of rupture initiation typically follows pre-existing structural discontinuities within the rock mass, understanding the structural setting of slopes is necessary for an accurate characterisation of the hazards and estimation ...

    • Visualizing and interpreting surface displacement patterns on unstable slopes using multi-geometry satellite SAR interferometry (2D InSAR) 

      Eriksen, Harald Øverli; Lauknes, Tom Rune; Larsen, Yngvar; Corner, Geoffrey D.; Bergh, Steffen G; Dehls, John; Kierulf, Halfdan Pascal (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-05)
      It is well known that satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) is capable of measuring surface displacement with a typical accuracy on the order of millimeters to centimeters. However, when the true deformation vector differs from the satellite line-of-sight (LOS), the sensitivity decreases and interpretation of InSAR deformationmeasurements becomes challenging. By combining displacement data ...

    • Widespread and accelerating glacier retreat on the Lyngen Peninsula, northern Norway, since their 'Little Ice Age' maximum 

      Stokes, Chris R.; Andreassen, Liss Marie; Champion, Matthew R; Corner, Geoffrey D. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-06)
      The recession of mountain glaciers worldwide is increasing global sea level and, in many regions, human activities will have to adapt to changes in surface hydrology. Thus, it is important to provide up-to-date analyses of glacier change and the factors modulating their response to climate warming. Here we report changes in the extent of >120 glaciers on the Lyngen Peninsula, northern Norway, where ...
