CV
Job title: Senior geologist/Researcher II (UNIS)
Date of birth: 14.06.62
Citizenship: Norwegian
Civil status: Married with children
Years of experience: 18 years (2008)
Publications: 34 scientific papers published or
in press
Research interests:
Research interests focus on structural geology and on the relations between tectonics, denudation, geomorphology and basin sedimentation. Research themes include:
- Deep structure of passive margins
- Tectonic controls on sedimentation in extensional basins
- `Source-to sink´-issues on continental margins
- Tectonic controls on topography and landscape evolution during Cenozoic uplift of the Norwegian margin.
- Structural and tectonic controls on rock-slope failure
- Fault architecture, fault rock-assemblages and the role of fault re-activation in Mesozoic rifting and Cenozoic uplift
- Structural and regional geology related to late – and post-orogenic extension of the Scandinavian Caledonides
Research tools
- Field-based structural geology
- Field-based sedimentology
- Interpretation of regional deep seismic reflection data
- Integration of geochronology, geomorphology, satellite interferometry and structural geology to assess structural controls on landscape evolution
