• Cenozoic uplift and erosion of the Norwegian Barents Shelf – A review 

      Lasabuda, Amando Putra Ersaid; Johansen, Nora; Laberg, Jan Sverre; Faleide, Jan Inge; Senger, Kim; Rydningen, Tom Arne; Patton, Henry; Knutsen, Stig-Morten; Hanssen, Alfred (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-23)
      Uplift and erosion are complex phenomena in terms of their governing processes, precise timing and exact magnitude. The intricate relationship between different geodynamic processes leading to uplift may increase uncertainties in estimating spatial and temporal patterns. Sediment distribution from uplifted (and eroded) topography and the corresponding paleoenvironmental reconstructions require ...
    • Gas hydrate stability zone of the Barents Sea and Kara Sea region 

      Klitzke, Peter; Luzi-Helbing, Manja; Schicks, Judith M.; Cacace, Mauro; Jacquey, Antoine B.; Scheck-Wenderoth, Magdalena; Faleide, Jan Inge (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-29)
      In this study we assess the present-day gas hydrate stability zone for the Barents Sea and Kara Sea region. Thereby, we make use of a data-based 3D lithosphere-scale pressure and thermal model. The resulting gas hydrate stability zone varies within >1km across the study area and strongly correlates with the local geological settings and the corresponding geothermal gradient. Gas hydrates containing ...
    • Middle to Late Devonian–Carboniferous collapse basins on the Finnmark Platform and in the southwesternmost Nordkapp basin, SW Barents Sea 

      Koehl, Jean-Baptiste; Bergh, Steffen G; Henningsen, Tormod; Faleide, Jan Inge (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-28)
      The SW Barents Sea margin experienced a pulse of extensional deformation in the Middle–Late Devonian through the Carboniferous, after the Caledonian Orogeny terminated. These events marked the initial stages of formation of major offshore basins such as the Hammerfest and Nordkapp basins. We mapped and analyzed three major fault complexes, (i) the Måsøy Fault Complex, (ii) the Rolvsøya fault, and ...
    • Paleobathymetric reconstructions of the SW Barents Seaway and their implications for Atlantic–Arctic ocean circulation 

      Lasabuda, Amando P. E.; Hanssen, Alfred; Laberg, Jan Sverre; Faleide, Jan Inge; Patton, Henry; Abdelmalak, Mohamed Mansour; Rydningen, Tom Arne; Kjølhamar, Bent (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-29)
      Unravelling past, large-scale ocean circulation patterns is crucial for deciphering the longterm global paleoclimate. Here we apply numerical modelling to reconstruct the detailed paleobathymetry-topography of the southwestern inlet of the Barents Seaway that presently connects the Atlantic and Arctic oceans. Subaerial topography was likely enough to block Atlantic Water from entering the Barents ...
    • The paleozoic evolution of the Olga Basin region, Northern Barents Sea: A link to the Timanian orogeny 

      Klitzke, Peter; Franke, Dieter; Ehrhardt, Axel; Lutz, Rüdiger; Reinhardt, Lutz; Heyde, Ingo; Faleide, Jan Inge (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-15)
      The evolution of the Olga Basin region in the northern Norwegian Barents Sea and its relation to the Caledonian and Timanian orogenies is poorly understood due to sparse geophysical data and the lack of well control. In 2015, the German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) acquired deep multichannel seismic lines as well as gravity and magnetic data. The new seismic data ...
    • Shallow-water hydrothermal venting linked to the Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum 

      Berndt, Christian; Planke, Sverre; Alvarez Zarikian, Carlos A.; Frieling, Joost; Jones, Morgan Thomas; Millett, John M.; Brinkhuis, Henk; Bünz, Stefan; Svensen, Henrik Hovland; Longman, Jack; Scherer, Reed P.; Karstens, Jens; Manton, Ben; Nelissen, Mei; Reed, Brandon; Faleide, Jan Inge; Huismans, Ritske Sipke; Agarwal, Amar; Andrews, Graham D.M.; Betlem, Peter; Bhattacharya, Joyeeta; Chatterjee, Sayantani; Christopoulou, Marialena; Clementi, Vincent J.; Ferré, Eric C.; Filina, Irina Y.; Guo, Pengyuan; Harper, Dustin T.; Lambart, Sarah; Mohn, Geoffroy; Nakaoka, Reina; Tegner, Christian; Varela, Natalia; Wang, Mengyuan; Xu, Weimu; Yager, Stacy L. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-08-03)
      The Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) was a global warming event of 5–6 °C around 56 million years ago caused by input of carbon into the ocean and atmosphere. Hydrothermal venting of greenhouse gases produced in contact aureoles surrounding magmatic intrusions in the North Atlantic Igneous Province have been proposed to play a key role in the PETM carbon-cycle perturbation, but the precise ...
    • The tectonized central peak of the Mjølnir Impact Crater, Barents Sea 

      Corseri, Romain; Gac, Sebastien; Faleide, Jan Inge; Planke, Sverre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-04)
      The Mjølnir structure, SW Barents Sea, is one of the best-preserved marine impact craters on Earth. After impact on the paleo-seafloor about 142 Ma ago, this crater experienced an atypical deformation of its central peak, which is now elevated ~435 m above the crater rims. Here, we investigate the effect of far-field tectonic stresses on the central peak uplift based on interpretation of new ...
    • Underexplored continental shelf gateways: timing, mechanisms and role of SW Barents Sea Gateway, Norwegian Arctic 

      Lasabuda, Amando P. E.; Hanssen, Alfred; Laberg, Jan Sverre; Rydningen, Tom Arne; Patton, Henry; Faleide, Jan Inge; Abdelmalak, Mohamed Mansour; Kjølhamar, Bent (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2022)
      Ocean gateways connecting ocean basins are crucial for water and heat circulation, which influence global temperature, climate evolution and sediment distribution. While deep-water gateways have been a major research focus by the community, very little attention has been drawn to shallower gateways located on the continental shelves, where such circulation also takes place. In this study, we investigate ...
