      Senger, Kim; Betlem, Peter; Birchall, Thomas; Gonzaga Jr., Luis; Grundvåg, Sten-Andreas; Horota, Rafael Kenji; Laake, Andreas; Kuckero, Lilith; Mørk, Atle; Planke, Sverre; Rodes, Nil; Smyrak-Sikora, Aleksandra (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-10)
      The renowned Festningen section in the outer part of Isfjorden, western Spitsbergen, offers a c. 7 km-long nearly continuous stratigraphic section of Lower Carboniferous to Cenozoic strata, spanning nearly 300 million years of geological history. Tectonic deformation associated with the Paleogene West-Spitsbergen-Fold-and-Thrust belt tilted the strata to near-vertical, allowing easy access to the ...

      Large national programs in the United States and several Asian countries have defined and characterised their marine methane hydrate occurrences in some detail, but European hydrate occurrence has received less attention. The European Union-funded project “Marine gas hydrate – an indigenous resource of natural gas for Europe” (MIGRATE) aimed to determine the European potential inventory of exploitable ...
    • Resistivity of reservoir sandstones and organic rich shales on the Barents Shelf: Implications for interpreting CSEM data 

      Senger, Kim; Birchall, Thomas; Betlem, Peter; Ogata, Kei; Ohm, Sverre Ekrene; Olaussen, Snorre; Paulsen, Renate Strugstad (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-03)
      Marine controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) data have been utilized in the past decade during petroleum exploration of the Barents Shelf, particularly for de-risking the highly porous sandstone reservoirs of the Upper Triassic to Middle Jurassic Realgrunnen Subgroup. In this contribution we compare the resistivity response from CSEM data to resistivity from wireline logs in both water- and ...

(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 Svalbard Carboniferous to Cenozoic Composite Tectono-Stratigraphic Element 

      Olaussen, Snorre; Grundvåg, Sten-Andreas; Senger, Kim; Anell, Ingrid; Betlem, Peter; Birchall, Thomas; Braathen, Alvar; Dallmann, Winfried Kurt; Jochmann, Malte Michel; Johannessen, Erik P.; Lord, Gareth Steven; Mørk, Atle; Osmundsen, Per Terje; Smyrak-Sikora, Aleksandra; Stemmerik, Lars (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-26)
      The Svalbard Composite Tectono-Stratigraphic Element is located on the north-western corner of the Barents Shelf and comprises a Carboniferous to Pleistocene sedimentary succession. Due to Cenozoic uplift the succession is subaerially exposed in the Svalbard archipelago. The oldest parts of the succession consist of Carboniferous to Permian mixed siliciclastic, carbonate and evaporite and spiculitic ...
    • Svalbard Composite Tectono-Sedimentary Element, Barents Sea 

      Olaussen, Snorre; Grundvåg, Sten-Andreas; Senger, Kim; Anell, Ingrid; Betlem, Peter; Birchall, Thomas; Braathen, Alvar; Dallmann, Winfried Kurt; Jochmann, Malte Michel; Johannessen, Erik P.; Lord, Gareth Steven; Mørk, Atle; Osmundsen, Per Terje; Smyrak-Sikora, Aleksandra; Stemmerik, Lars (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-06)
      The Svalbard Composite Tectono-Sedimentary Element (SCTSE) is located on the northwestern corner of the Barents Shelf and comprises a Carboniferous–Pleistocene sedimentary succession. Due to Cenozoic uplift, the succession is subaerially exposed in the Svalbard archipelago. The oldest parts of the succession consist of Carboniferous–Permian mixed siliciclastic, carbonate and evaporite, and spiculitic ...
    • Teaching with digital geology in the high Arctic: opportunities and challenges

      <p>The Covid-19 pandemic occurred at a time of major revolution in the geosciences – the era of digital geology. Digital outcrop models (DOMs) acquired from consumer drones, processed using user-friendly photogrammetric software and shared with the wider audience through online platforms are a cornerstone of this digital geological revolution. Integration of DOMs with other geoscientific data, such ...
