Overview

Hilmar Bungum is affiliated with Norsar in Norway and conducts research primarily in earth and planetary sciences, with a strong focus on geophysics. Their work spans several subfields including geophysics, seismic wave analysis, and high-pressure geophysics and materials. Additionally, Bungum has contributions in health professions, particularly intersecting with general health topics and social issues linked to aging and elder care.

Bungum's research themes prominently include earthquake and tectonic studies, seismic waves and analysis, as well as geological and geochemical analysis. Their body of work also touches on hermeneutics and narrative identity, and broader aspects of health, medicine, and society.

The scientist's recent publications cover a variety of topics within seismology and earth sciences. Notable papers include:

  • The conundrums of the postglacial tectonic response of the Fennoscandian and Canadian Shields (2022, Earth-Science Reviews)
  • The 30 June 2017 North Sea Earthquake: Location, Characteristics, and Context (2020, Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America)
  • Earthquakes and seismic hazard for Norway and Svalbard (2025, Journal of Seismology)
  • Potential secondary events caused by early Holocene paleoearthquakes in Fennoscandia - a climate-related review (2021, Norwegian Journal of Geology)
  • ANALYSIS OF CODA AND MULTIPATH PROPAGATION OF RAYLEIGH WAVES AT NORSAR (2023, NORSAR)

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Bungum include Olav Eldholm, Annie Jerkins, Hasbi Ash Shiddiqi, Tormod Kværna, and Steven J. Gibbons. These collaborations span publications mainly related to seismic and tectonic research.

In terms of publication venues, Bungum has contributed multiple studies to NORSAR, with additional papers in Earth-Science Reviews, Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, Journal of Seismology, and Norwegian Journal of Geology.
