About me
Please call me Carita. UiS updates all the staff names from the Norwegian national population register, which may cause confusion since some of us do not use our very first name.
Teaching fall 2023:
- GEO110 is an introductory sedimentology course. The course includes both exercises and field trips.
- GEO270 is a petrology course for bachelor students. The course is mainly microscope-based. I teach this course together with Udo Zimmermann.
- GEO501 is a subsurface-geology course for master students. The course includes exercises. I teach this course together with Néstor Cardozo and Udo Zimmermann.
Research fields:
- Sedimentology - from source to sink
- Sedimentary petrology & geochemistry
- Sedimentation affected by tectonic activity
Research in progress:
- Sediment transport of the continental Permian Rotliegend and the Triassic Buntsandstein groups in Central Europe
- Palaeozoic to Mesozoic tectonosedimentary evolution of the North Sea
- Tectono-sedimentary evolution of the Mexican Oaxaquia terrane during the Palaeozoic
- Methods for provenance studies
