The research activities at the department are mainly focused on: Polar Marine Geology & Geophysics, Solid Earth Science, and Coastal & Terrestrial Geosciences.
The department has many large research and collaboration projects financed by The Research Council of Norway, EU and Norwegian Oil Companies. Our main activities in research are taking place in the Arctic regions, including waters off the Norwegian Coast to Svalbard and Eastern Greenland.
The research at the department is anchored in the following strategic areas:
- Ice- and ocean climate systems: Marine geology – Oceanography – Glaciology
- Natural resources in the Arctic
- Dynamics of the lithosphere
- Geohazards
- Coastal research
- Environmental geology in the Arctic
- Technology development
- Modelling
We have 17 projects at our unit:
Reconnaissance survey of seafloor mounds and hydrocarbon seeps in the SW Barents Sea
On the accuracy of the measured and modelled surface latent and sensible heat flux in the interior of the Greenland Ice Sheet
Seafloor‐image analysis techniques to highlight the role of substrate as a driver of benthic community structure in Arctic cold seep areas
Impact of glacial-interglacial cycles on the groundwater system of the Lofoten-Vesterålen continental margin, Norway, since the Last Interglacial
Spatially variable response of Antarctica’s ice sheets to orbital forcing during the Pliocene
High H2 production in sediment-hosted hydrothermal fluids at an ultraslow spreading mid-ocean ridge
