Large earthquakes within stable continental regions (SCR) show that significant amounts of elastic strain can be released on geological structures far from plate boundary faults, where …
After the first emergence following deglaciation, relative sea level rose by 10m in western Norway and culminated late in the Younger Dryas (YD). The relative sea-level history …
The Variscan orogeny, resulting from the collision of Laurussia with Gondwana to form the supercontinent of Pangaea, was followed by a period of crustal instability and re …
Over the last thirty years, through studies of neotectonic phenomena, it has become evident that the present-day Baltic Shield is not the uniformly quiet, stable, continental-crustal area …

Norway and its continental margin, in spite of being located in an intraplate environment, is of great interest from a Neotectonic perspective. Influence on neotectonics stems both from …
The seismicity of Scandinavia is low to intermediate in intensity and with magnitudes that rarely exceed 5.5. Even so, the seismicity is characterized by a great diversity in space and …
The ages and sizes of landslides occurring in seismically active areas can be used to reconstruct the seismic history of the area and estimate the maximum moment magnitudes of …
Pre-existing bedrock structures that reactivated following deglaciation through a combination of tectonic and isostatic stresses are well documented in northern …
For quantitative hazard assessment it is necessary to define the magnitude–frequency distribution and a temporal model of the landslide frequency. This is often complicated for …
