• Acoustic evidence of hydrocarbon release associated with the Spitsbergen Transform Fault, north of the Molloy Ridge, Fram Strait 

      Chand, Shyam; Knies, Jochen Manfred; Geissler, Wolfram H.; Plaza Faverola, Andreia Aletia; Thorsnes, Terje (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-16)
      Hydrocarbon gases formed from biotic and abiotic processes are released through the seafloor at different locations around the world. They have been widely observed directly in video and photo data, and indirectly on echosounder data. Even though biotic gas generation is a very common process, abiotic gas generation is limited to regions where serpentinization of ultramafic rocks occur. Indications ...
    • Arctic megaslide at presumed rest 

      Geissler, Wolfram H.; Gebhardt, Catalina; Gross, Felix; Wollenburg, Jutta; Jensen, Laura; Schmidt-Aursch, Mechita; Krastel, Sebastian; Elger, Judith; Osti, Giacomo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Slope failure like in the Hinlopen/Yermak Megaslide is one of the major geohazards in a changing Arctic environment. We analysed hydroacoustic and 2D high-resolution seismic data from the apparently intact continental slope immediately north of the Hinlopen/Yermak Megaslide for signs of past and future instabilities. Our new bathymetry and seismic data show clear evidence for incipient slope ...
    • Late Cenozoic erosion estimates for the northern Barents Sea: Quantifying glacial sediment input to the Arctic Ocean 

      Lasabuda, Amando Putra Ersaid; Geissler, Wolfram H.; Laberg, Jan Sverre; Knutsen, Stig-Morten; Rydningen, Tom Arne; Berglar, Kai (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-14)
      A compilation of seismic data has been used to characterize the Neogene – Quaternary sedimentary succession of the northwestern Barents Sea continental margin to better understand the paleoenvironmental evolution and the sedimentary processes involved. The Neogene strata are dominated by contourites related to the ocean circulation established from the opening of the Fram Strait connecting the ...
