- Mechanical engineering
His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Petrology, Metamorphism, Sill and Olivine.
In his research, Weathering is intimately related to Spall, which falls under the overarching field of Geochemistry.
His study in Petrology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Continental crust, Crust, Eclogite and Geomorphology.
His study in Metamorphic rock extends to Metamorphism with its themes.
His Sill research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Earth science, Saucer, Hydrothermal vent, Large igneous province and Magma.
His research integrates issues of Lithosphere and Ultramafic rock in his study of Olivine.
His most cited work include:
- Release of methane from a volcanic basin as a mechanism for initial Eocene global warming (678 citations)
- Siberian gas venting and the end-Permian environmental crisis (404 citations)
- Subduction and eduction of continental crust: major mechanisms during continent‐continent collision and orogenic extensional collapse, a model based on the south Norwegian Caledonides (329 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Bjørn Jamtveit mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology, Metamorphism and Metamorphic rock.
As part of his studies on Geochemistry, he often connects relevant subjects like Hydrothermal vent.
While the research belongs to areas of Hydrothermal vent, Bjørn Jamtveit spends his time largely on the problem of Sill, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Earth science.
His Mineralogy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Porosity, Oil shale, Nucleation, Carbonate and Dissolution.
His Petrology study combines topics in areas such as Lithosphere, Plagioclase, Geomorphology and Crust.
He has researched Metamorphism in several fields, including Fluid dynamics, Rift and Eclogite.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (30.53%)
- Mineralogy (17.26%)
- Petrology (16.37%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

Bjørn Jamtveit focuses on Continental crust, Crust, Geochemistry, Petrology and Metamorphism.
Bjørn Jamtveit has included themes like Brittleness and Feldspar in his Continental crust study.
His work is dedicated to discovering how Crust, Metamorphic rock are connected with Wall rock, Induced seismicity and Natural and other disciplines.
Bjørn Jamtveit specializes in Geochemistry, namely Olivine.
His studies deal with areas such as Orogeny, Shear zone and Plagioclase as well as Petrology.
In his study, Mineralogy is strongly linked to Anisotropy, which falls under the umbrella field of Eclogite.
