The Dolomite Problem (i.e. the question of how the large quantities of dolomite observed in the geological record formed in the absence of equivalent modern environments).
Evolution of sedimentary systems with human activity Society develops in response to sedimentary systems. At the same time these systems are increasingly modified by society. For example, management of hydrological systems to meet water resource demands (e.g., dams, canals, weirs, …
How do normal faults grow? In this geolunch talk, Atle will tell us about how he and some of his friends/co-authors decided to have a stab at figuring out how normal faults actually grow while he was on sabbatical in New …
Source-to-sink in a western Norwegian fjord: How does landslides, floods and grinding glaciers influence sediment supply in the Holocene? Thomas Thuesen, William Helland-Hansen, Christian Haug Eide, Haflidi Haflidason, Atle Nesje Western Norwegian fjord-valley systems represent archives of changes in …
This is not properly speaking a geolunch. The meeting is held in conjunction with the 2019 Annual national conference on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a collaboration between Academia Europaea and the UiB Program for Climate and Energy …
The Pyrenean orogen: new insights into plate convergence Over the last 10 years a number of major research projects have focused on the Pyrenean orogen and adjacent areas. These projects are providing new insights into many aspects of orogenesis. The …

Supercritical and superheated geothermal systems in Iceland - Insight from field cases Deep drilling in high-temperature geothermal systems by the Iceland Deep Drilling (IDDP) project is aimed at increasing the power output of high-temperature geothermal fields by an order of …
Detachment faulting during continental breakup and slow/ultraslow seafloor spreading Detachment faults, apparently gently-dipping long offset normal faults, are observed in some continental rifts, at some rifted margins, and at both slow and ultraslow spreading ridges. Key questions revolve around their …
A preview of the Bergen Arcs Seismic Experiment (BASE) and how the data collected will be automatically processed In this talk, I will give an overview of the Bergen Arcs Seismic Experiment (BASE), which is currently ongoing and aims to …
