Ongoing research projects
Centre for Sustainable Subsurface Resources (CSSR)
Provide the knowledge required for the Norwegian petroleum industry to transition to zero-emissions production and clean energy resources in the next decades.
Previous research projects
Machine Learning for Characterization of Fluvial Architectural Elements
Development of machine learning algorithms to characterize architectural elements of modern fluvial depositional systems
Towards a modern plate tectonic style about 700 Myrs ago?
Studying the links between the surface and mantle dynamic processes during the Neoproterozoic
Generate new understanding of the deposits within deep-water continental rift basins and rifted continental margins
A Renaissance of Central North Sea Salt Tectonics (ZechTec)
Aims to provide a regional-scale synthesis of salt behaviour and influence during the Late Permian- and Triassic (approximately 259-201 Ma) in the Central North Sea Oblique view, looking northeast, of the top Zechstein Supergroup horizon in the Norwegian sector of the Central North Sea. Note the large number of salt structures and the varying styles across the basin. The ZechTec project aims to investigate the main controls on this variability in style and the evolution of the salt structures and the tectono-sedimentary evolution of the mini-basins developed between them
High Displacement Fault Project
Aiming to understand the spatial and temporal evolution of large-displacement normal faults.
Quantitative Geomorphology of Submarine Channel Networks on Continental Margins
Recent progress in quantitative subaerial geomorphology, coupled with the numerous, high resolution marine geophysical and geological datasets, becoming widely available along continental margins, now suggests major progress can be made at analysing and understanding the margin-scale characteristics and controls on submarine channel and canyon systems.
