• Contrasting Neogene–Quaternary continental margin evolution offshore mid-north Norway: Implications for source-to-sink systems 

      Olsen, Stine-Bjordal; Rydningen, Tom Arne; Laberg, Jan Sverre; Lasabuda, Amando P. E.; Knutsen, Stig Morten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-22)
      The Neogene–Quaternary development of the ∼700 km long mid-Norwegian and Lofoten–Vesterålen continental margin is reconstructed using a dense grid of 2D seismic data and exploration wellbores. Overall, widespread ocean current-controlled contourite drifts built up along the whole margin segment from the mid-Miocene onwards (c. 11 Ma, Kai Formation). The onset (c. 8.8 Ma) of a large inner shelf ...
    • Using the tectophase conceptual model to assess late Triassic–Early Jurassic far-field tectonism across the South-central Barents Sea shelf 

      Martins, Gustavo; Ettensohn, Frank R.; Knutsen, Stig Morten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-23)
      The Upper Triassic–Lower Jurassic succession of the Barents Sea Shelf (BSS) represents one of Europe’s most prolific and strategic petroleum systems. This succession reflects various depositional environments and tectonostratigraphic events. Even though these strata are considered largely well-understood, connections with far-field stresses triggered by regional tectonics remain a subject of ...
