• Cracking into Cryoseismology 

      Romeyn, Rowan (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-03-22)
      The cryosphere encompasses the seasonally and perennially frozen parts of the earth and its extent is both sensitive to and impacts upon the global climate through surface energy and moisture fluxes and feedbacks. The dynamics of ice and frozen ground also impact directly on, e.g., construction and maintenance of roads in cold regions or transportation across floating ice sheets. The aim of this ...
    • Passive seismic recording of cryoseisms in Adventdalen, Svalbard 

      Romeyn, Rowan; Hanssen, Alfred; Ruud, Bent Ole; Stemland, Helene Meling; Johansen, Tor Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-20)
      A series of transient seismic events were discovered in passive seismic recordings from 2-D geophone arrays deployed at a frost polygon site in Adventdalen, Svalbard. These events contain a high proportion of surface wave energy and produce high-quality dispersion images using an apparent offset re-sorting and inter-trace delay minimisation technique to locate the seismic source, followed by ...
    • Processing and interpretation of the Svyatogor 2016 high-resolution P-Cable 3D seismic dataset. Investigating the dynamics of a sub-seabed gas hydrate system with a potential abiotic methane source 

      Romeyn, Rowan (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-06-01)
      A new high-resolution P-Cable 3D seismic dataset was acquired in July 2016 targeting a seafloor pockmark cluster at the northern end of Svyatogor Ridge, offshore west Svalbard. The processing and interpretation of this dataset formed the primary focus of this thesis. The seismic processing sequence was designed to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of the data while preserving the useful signal ...
    • Sea ice thickness from air-coupled flexural waves 

      Romeyn, Rowan; Hanssen, Alfred; Ruud, Bent Ole; Johansen, Tor Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-28)
      Air-coupled flexural waves (ACFWs) appear as wave trains of constant frequency that arrive in advance of the direct air wave from an impulsive source travelling over a floating ice sheet. The frequency of these waves varies with the flexural stiffness of the ice sheet, which is controlled by a combination of thickness and elastic properties. We develop a theoretical framework to understand these ...
