Late Devonian–Early Carboniferous structural control on rift basin evolution in NE Greenland Open
The NE Atlantic rift and break-up system followed the Caledonian structural trends from a regional perspective. Upon closer examination, however, significant differences between the structural orientation and organization of the mapped lin…

Petrological and geophysical characterization of a paleo natural hydrogen kitchen – serpentinites of the Münchberg Massif, Germany Open
One of the main challenges in studying a natural hydrogen system is that ultramafic rocks - potential source rock for hydrogen generation by serpentinization - are often buried deep within the subsurface. The serpentinites of the metamorph…

INFLUENCE OF PLEISTOCENE GLACIATION ON PETROLEUM SYSTEMS AND GAS HYDRATE STABILITY IN THE OLGA BASIN REGION, BARENTS SEA Open
This study presents the results of a 2D numerical basin and petroleum systems model of the Olga Basin in the NW Barents Sea offshore northern Norway, a frontier exploration area in which there are abundant seafloor oil and gas seepages. Th…

Evidence for Eurekan deformation within and around the Yermak Plateau, Arctic Ocean Open
The Yermak Plateau is a submarine plateau that lies to the north of Svalbard. Strong magnetic anomalies over its northeastern part led early interpretations of an origin by volcanic processes in an oceanic setting, during the formation of …

Evidence for Eurekan deformation within and around the Morris Jesup Plateau, Arctic Ocean Open
The Morris Jesup Plateau is located offshore North Greenland and includes the Morris Jesup Rise in the west and the Morris Jesup Spur in the east. The Yermak Plateau north of Svalbard represents the conjugate margin of the Morris Jesup Pla…

The subsurface thermal state of Svalbard and implications for geothermal potential Open
Svalbard is a High Arctic Archipelago at 74–81°N and 15–35 °E under the sovereignty of Norway. All settlements in Svalbard, including the capital of Longyearbyen (population 2400), currently have isolated energy systems with coal or diesel…

Basin and petroleum systems modelling in the northern Norwegian Barents Sea Open
The Olga Basin is a Paleozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary basin in the northern Barents Sea. Gas seepage at the basin's margins indicate active but so far poorly understood petroleum systems. Despite the consensus that late Cenozoic uplift an…

Polyphase Magmatism During the Formation of the Northern East Greenland Continental Margin Open
New marine geophysical data acquired across the partly ice‐covered northern East Greenland continental margin highlight a complex interaction between tectonic and magmatic events. Breakup‐related lava flows are imaged in reflection seismic…

The Paleozoic Evolution of the Olga Basin Region, Northern Barents Sea: A Link to the Timanian Orogeny Open
The evolution of the Olga Basin region in the northern Norwegian Barents Sea and its relation to the Caledonian and Timanian orogenies is poorly understood due to sparse geophysical data and the lack of well control. In 2015, the German Fe…
View article: Origin of near-surface hydrocarbon gases bound in northern Barents Sea sediments
Origin of near-surface hydrocarbon gases bound in northern Barents Sea sediments Open
In the southern part of the Norwegian Barents Sea extensive hydrocarbon exploration and drilling has led to several oil and gas discoveries, yet little is known on the petroleum systems and potential hydrocarbon reservoirs in the northern …

Evidence for mantle exhumation since the early evolution of the slow-spreading Gakkel Ridge, Arctic Ocean Open
We study the basement configuration in the slow-spreading Eurasia Basin, Arctic Ocean. Two multichannel seismic (MCS) profiles, which we acquired during ice-free conditions with a 3600 m long streamer, image the transition from the North B…
View article: Tectonic implications of the lithospheric structure across the Barents and Kara shelves
Tectonic implications of the lithospheric structure across the Barents and Kara shelves Open
This paper considers the lithospheric structure and evolution of the wider Barents–Kara Sea region based on the compilation and integration of geophysical and geological data. Regional transects are constructed at both crustal and lithosph…
View article: A lithosphere-scale structural model of the Barents Sea and Kara Sea region
A lithosphere-scale structural model of the Barents Sea and Kara Sea region Open
We introduce a regional 3-D structural model of the Barents Sea and Kara Sea region which is the first to combine information on the sediments and the crystalline crust as well as the configuration of the lithospheric mantle. Therefore, we…
