Geology in Norway

Modelling in Geology

Modem geology was founded by James Hutton at the end of the 18th cenhuy as an observational, descriptive, qualitative, and subjective science. It was the pioneer work of Pearson (1901) and Spearman (1904) in statistics applied to agriculture, biology, medicine, and psychology, that led to the first major inroads of quantitative techniques in geology and the models they used were above all stati...

Megafaunal diversity associated with marine landscapes of northern Norway: a preliminary assessment NORWEGIAN JOURNAL OF GEOLOGY Megafaunal diversity associated with marine landscapes of northern Norway

The seabed of northern Norway was explored using video and multibeam surveys to assess the distribution of megafauna and examine associations of benthic organisms to their physical environment. The study area was initially divided into ten marine landscapes based on seabed morphology and general water mass distribution. In total 195 taxa were observed during video recordings. The highest number...

Marine Geology

To constrain the timing of rifting in the western, eastern, and northern parts of the Alboran Sea basin, seismic reflectors, corresponding to biostratigraphic boundaries and unconformities from the Miocene to Recent, are correlated using synthetic seismograms. Regions of adjacent coeval compression and extension are found in the Alboran Sea basin. Normal faulting continues in parts of the easte...
