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 21 projects at our unit:
Climate-controlled submarine landslides on the Antarctic continental margin
Using a numerical model to propose a new laboratory oil exposure design
A standard protocol for describing the evaluation of ecological models
Deep-water sand transfer by hyperpycnal flows, the Eocene of Spitsbergen, Arctic Norway
