• Dynamic and history of methane seepage in the SW Barents Sea: new insights from Leirdjupet Fault Complex 

      Argentino, Claudio; Waghorn, Kate Alyse; Vadakkepuliyambatta, Sunil; Polteau, Stephane; Bünz, Stefan; Panieri, Giuliana (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-23)
      Methane emissions from Arctic continental margins are increasing due to the negative effect of global warming on ice sheet and permafrost stability, but dynamics and timescales of seafloor seepage still remain poorly constrained. Here, we examine sediment cores collected from an active seepage area located between 295 and 353 m water depth in the SW Barents Sea, at Leirdjupet Fault Complex. The ...
    • Meter-Scale 3D Seismic Data for High-Resolution Site Characterization 

      Lebedeva-Ivanova, Nina; Polteau, Stephane; Zastrozhnov, Dmitry; Planke, Sverre; Waage, Malin; Bünz, Stefan; Bellwald, Benjamin; Vanneste, Maarten; Sauvin, Guillaume; Myklebust, R. (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2019-06-03)
      High-resolution 3D site characterization can deliver reliable quantitative property volumes of the subsurface when based on seismic data able to image meter-sized objects. Following the theoretical analysis of seismic wave propagation in the shallow sub-surface, we present case studies based on re-processing of 3D P-Cable seismic data. The case study of data re-processing from the Vestnesa Ridge ...
    • Structural and fluid-migration control on hill-hole pair formation: Evidence from high-resolution 3D seismic data from the SW Barents Sea 

      Bellwald, Benjamin; Stokke, Henrik Henriksen; Winsborrow, Monica; Planke, Sverre; Sættem, Joar; Lebedeva-Ivanova, Nina; Hafeez, Amer; Kurjanski, Bartosz; Myklebust, Reidun Alice; Polteau, Stephane (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-11)
      Hill-hole pairs are subglacial landforms consisting of thrust-block hills and associated source depressions. Formed by evacuation of material where ice sheets have been locally frozen to the substrate, they give insights into paleo-ice-sheet dynamics. The aim of this study was to document the relationships between ancient hill-hole pairs identified on a buried glacial unconformity with the structure ...
    • The thermal maturity of sedimentary basins as revealed by magnetic mineralogy 

      Abdelmalak, Mohamed Mansour; Polteau, Stephane (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-08)
      The thermal evolution of sedimentary basins is usually constrained by maturity data, which is interpreted from Rock-Eval pyrolysis and vitrinite reflectance analytical results on field or boreholes samples. However, some thermal evolution models may be inaccurate due to the use of elevated maturities measured in samples collected within an undetected metamorphic contact aureole surrounding a magmatic ...
    • Upper cretaceous-paleogene stratigraphy and development of the Mímir High, Vøring transform margin, Norwegian Sea 

      Polteau, Stephane; Planke, Sverre; Zastrozhnov, Dmitrii; Abdelmalak, Mohamed Mansour; Lebedeva-Ivanova, Nina; Eckhoff Planke, Ellen; Svensen, Henrik; Mazzini, Adriano; Gernigon, Laurent; Myklebust, Reidun; Kjølhamar, Bent; Pedersen, Rolf B.; Sandstå, Nils Rune; Bünz, Stefan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-19)
      Transform margins represent strike-slip type of plate boundaries that form during continental breakup and initial ocean opening. They are often characterized by margin-parallel highs with exposed pre- and syn-rift sequences. The Vøring Transform Margin, offshore mid-Norway, initiated in the earliest Eocene during the opening of the NE Atlantic. Here, 2D seismic reflection data reveal a transform ...
