Peter Japsen, senior research scientist, dr.scient.

Peter has worked with many aspects of geology and geophysics: seismic mapping, depth conversion, estimation of overpressure and exhumation (‘uplift’) from sonic data as well as rock physics of chalk and basalt. Current projects include:

-> a multidisciplinary investigation of uplift, erosion and fault reactivation in South-west Greenland funded by the Danish National Scientific Research Council, the Carlsberg foundation, GEUS and Nunaoil. Partners are the universities of Durham, Paris-Sorbonne and Stockholm as well as Geotrack International.

-> SeiFaBa, SEIsmic and petrophysical properties of FAroes BAsalt, funded by the Sindri Group. Project partneres are the universities of Cambridge, Copenhagen, the Faroe Islands and Oxford.

-> investigation of uplift phases in southern Scandinavia based on landform analysis and new apatite fission-track analysis data from samples from Jotunheim/Sognefjorden in Norway, funded by the Carlsberg Foundation. Partners are Stockholm University and Geotrack International.
