Marine geophysics. Mainly ocean bottom seismic on crustal scale in: mid-Norway, Barents Sea, Jan Mayen, spreading ridges in the N. Atlantic. Responsible for acquisition and modelling of data. The main aim with the research is to understand the evolution of the N. Atlantic and the interplay between plate tectonic and the Iceland hot-spot. The work is put into a global context, and indicates that hot-spots co-pulsates, caused by processs in the lower mantle.

Participates in two courses on seismic acquistion and processing, one course on the evolution of the mid-Norwegian margin. and SVALEX; a student course in Svalbard with students from all Norwegian universities.
Most of the work is performed within the framework of NFR- and industrial projects, some with support from EU.
