Research areas:

My research covers different aspects of marine geology and geophysics. I have for several years been involved in geophysical investigations of natural gas hydrates in arctic areas, focusing on identification, quantification and characterization of hydrates and associated free gas accumulations.  My current research projects relates mainly to Cenozoic development of the Barents Sea area. I have used a wide range of methods in my research and have expertise in geophysical processing, modelling, interpretation of mainly P-wave but also S-wave seismic data. The last few years I have focused my research efforts on glacial geomorphology, sediments and processes. This includes research on identifying ice streams of the former Barents Sea - northern Fennoscandian Ice Sheets and reconstructing their behaviour through the Pleistocene. The use of three-dimensional (3D) seismic has been important in this work, and I have, together with a colleague, been responsible for establishing a geophysical laboratory in interpretation and visualization of 3D seismic data at UiT.

Research interests:

Stefan has a strong background in marine geology and geophysics, specializing in areas such as fluid flow, gas hydrate systems, marine geohazards, oceanic heat flow, CO2-storage, and seafloor ecosystems. Stefan is proficient in a range of analytical and numerical techniques, including seismic imaging and other geophysical analysis. He is committed to advancing our understanding of the Earth’s oceanic systems, particularly on all aspects of gas hydrate and fluid flow in marine sediments and their role in storing and remobilizing carbon with implications for climate and seafloor ecosystems.

Stefan holds a PhD degree in marine geology and geophysics from UiT The Arctic University of Norway. He has been a professor at the Department of Geology at UiT since 2007. His research contributions are documented in over 80 peer-reviewed publications.
