We request support to expand research from the Lower Cretaceous to the Middle-Upper Jurassic succession of the Barents Sea. The efforts will be focused on improving the sequence stratigraphic framework, structural and thickness maps, and paleogeography; analyzing geochemistry; and correlating on- and off- shore studies. As a result of this project, we expect a large impact similar to LoCrA, which includes student and post-doctoral training in Arctic geology and petroleum exploration, conference ...

A two-year project, Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous basinal studies of the Arctic region (JuLoCrA; January  2017 - December 2018), led by the University of Stavanger and University Center in Svalbard, aims to continue and expand research activities from the Lower Cretaceous basin studies in the Arctic (LoCrA) consortium (2012-2016). The project will continue research in the Lower Cretaceous interval and expand into the Upper Jurassic interval to provide a better understanding of the paleogeography and...

The University of Stavanger (UiS) and the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS) propose a two-year consortium (2017-2018) to expand previous research from the Lower Cretaceous to the Upper Jurassic in the Arctic basins. The project will be in collaboration with Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU) and the Geological Survey of Denmark (GEUS). The study will build on the existing sequence stratigraphic framework, structural and thickness maps, and paleogeography; analyze geochemical data; and co...
