• 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 ...
    • The extreme yet transient nature of glacial erosion 

      Patton, Henry; Hubbard, Alun; Heyman, J.; Alexandropoulou, Nikolitsa; Lasabuda, Amando P. E.; Stroeven, A.P.; Hall, A.M.; Winsborrow, Monica; Sugden, David E.; Kleman, J.; Andreassen, Karin Marie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-30)
      Ice can sculpt extraordinary landscapes, yet the efficacy of, and controls governing, glacial erosion on geological timescales remain poorly understood and contended, particularly across Polar continental shields. Here, we assimilate geophysical data with modelling of the Eurasian Ice Sheet — the third largest Quaternary ice mass that spanned 49°N to 82°N — to decipher its erosional footprint during ...
    • A multi-source-to-sink system in a dynamic plate tectonic setting: the Cenozoic of the Barents Sea, Norwegian Arctic 

      Lasabuda, Amando P. E.; Chiarella, Domenico; Sømme, Tor Oftedal; Hanssen, Alfred; Laberg, Jan Sverre; Rydningen, Tom Arne; Patton, Henry (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2022)
      <p>When multiple source areas are located on a continuously moving plate margin relative to a sink, the signal propagation in the source-to-sink system may vary significantly in time and space. How fast and severe the impact of tectonics and climate is on sediment erosiontransfer-deposition in this dynamic setting is still not well understood. Similarly, how do we quantify the relative sediment ...
    • 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 ...

    • A time-transgressive perspective of glacial erosion and meltwater beneath the Eurasian ice sheet 

      Patton, Henry Jared; Hubbard, Alun Lloyd; Heyman, Jakob; Alexandropoulou, Nikolitsa; Lasabuda, Amando P. E.; Stroeven, Arjen P; Hall, Adrian; Winsborrow, Monica Caroline Mackay; Sugden, David A.; Kleman, Johan; Shackleton, Calvin; Da Silveira Ramos Esteves, Mariana; Bjarnadóttir, Lilja Rún; Andreassen, Karin Marie (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2023-08)
      The efficacy and controls governing glacial erosion over geological timescales are intricately linked yet remain poorly understood and contended. By assimilating geophysical data with modelling of the Eurasian Ice Sheet - the third largest Quaternary ice mass that spanned 49°N - 82°N - we decipher its erosional footprint during the last ~110 ka glacial cycle. Our results demonstrate extreme ...
    • 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 ...
