Stad Slide: Preconditioning and failure of one of the world's largest megaslides Open
Submarine landslides can generate tsunamis and pose risks to underwater infrastructure, but a lack of direct observations of such slides hinders our understanding of their development and hazard potential. Studying the morphology of past s…

Seismic Characteristics and Morphology of an Igneous Intrusion in the Vøring Basin, Offshore Norway: New Insights on the Lateral Evolution of Elongated Intrusions Open
Igneous sill intrusions are common features in volcanic basins worldwide, constituting important components of basin‐scale magma plumbing systems. While sills exhibiting simple geometries, such as saucer‐shaped sills, are commonly linked t…

Subsurface Geology of the Paraná‐Etendeka Large Igneous Province: Implications to Province Stratigraphy and <span> CO <sub>2</sub> </span> Storage Open
Volcanic reservoirs represent an important target for CO 2 storage and large‐scale deployment. We accessed the volcanic stratigraphy of the Paraná‐Etendeka Large Igneous Province (PELIP) in South America through the analysis of petrophysic…

Seismic Geomorphology of an Early Eocene Canyon‐Channel‐Lobe System North of Shetland Open
Submarine canyon and channel systems are the primary paths for sediment transport from platforms to deep‐sea terminal depositional fans and are present on all continental margins. The temporal morphological expression of such systems shoul…

The interplay between siliciclastic and carbonate depositional systems: Maastrichtian to Danian basin‐floor sediments of the <span>mid‐Norwegian</span> Møre Basin Open
Source‐to‐sink sedimentary systems associated with volcanic rifted margins serve as important archives for basin development by recording lithospheric changes affecting the depositional systems. Distinguishing between sediment transport pr…

The structure and origin of hydrothermal vent complexes in volcanic basins Open
Intrusion of magma into sedimentary basins leads to devolatilization of the host rock in contact metamorphic aureoles. Hydrothermal vent complexes are formed by fracturing the overburden sediments if sufficient overpressure is developed in…

Terrestrial Early Eocene Volcanic Paleoenvironment of the Skoll High, Mid-Norwegian Margin, Based on New High-Resolution 3D Seismic Geomorphology Open
Extensive magmatism during the NE Atlantic break-up generated about 6-10 million cubic kilometers of magma in the Paleogene. Magmatic degassing and explosive discharge of thermogenic gases by contact metamorphism is implicated in triggerin…
