Jeg er for tiden instituttleder ved Institutt for geovitenskap.
Av bakgrunn og forskningsinteresser er jeg strukturgeolog og tektoniker. Min hovedambisjon er å drive forskning som gir ny kunnskap og innsikt relevant for (1) grunnleggende geologiske prosesser, (2) geologiske naturkatastrofer (ras og jordskjelv) og (3) energi, energiomstilling og utvikling av fremtidens energisystemer.
Jeg er også sjefsredaktør i Basin Research, som er et internasjonalt fagfellevurdert tidsskrift som dekker fagområdet sedimentære bassengsystemer, og som publiseres i et samarbeid mellom IAS, EAGE og Wiley.
Specific research activities and interests
- Structural geology and tectonics
- Sedimentary basins
- Reservoir geology - clastic and carbonate reservoirs
- Integrated analysis of sedimentological and structural reservoir heterogeneities
- Tectonosedimentary basin evolution
- Faults, fractures, deformation bands and their effect on fluid flow
- Geometry and evolution of normal faults
- Dynamic analogue reservoir studies (analogue reservoir modelling and fluid flow simulation)
- Application of remote sensing technologies in analogue reservoir studies: LIDAR, UAV and satellite/aerial imagery
- Salt tectonics
- Tectonic controls on drainage and depositional systems
Application to geothermal energy, hydrocarbons and CO2 storage.
