Overview

Nils-Axel Mörner was affiliated with Stockholm University in Sweden and contributed extensively to the field of Earth and Planetary Sciences. Their research spanned various subfields including Atmospheric Science, Oceanography, Astronomy and Astrophysics, Environmental Chemistry, and Geology. The scientist's work primarily focused on topics such as Geology and Paleoclimatology Research, Marine and Environmental Studies, Arctic and Antarctic Ice Dynamics, Methane Hydrates and Related Phenomena, Astro and Planetary Science, Geophysics and Gravity Measurements, and Geological and Geophysical Studies.

They published papers in several academic journals with recurring appearances in the International Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics, where they authored or co-authored three papers. Other publication venues included the International Journal of Geosciences, Natural Science, and Archaeological Discovery.

  • Changes in Barents Sea ice Edge Positions in the Last 440 years: A Review of Possible Driving Forces (2020, International Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics)
  • A Mega-Tsunami in the Baltic Sea 1171 BC: Geological Records with Special Reference to the Lake Mälaren Area in Sweden (2020, International Journal of Geosciences)
  • The Kaali Impact as Trigger of a Mega-Tsunami Event and Violent Seismotectonics in Sweden (2020, International Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics)
  • Changes in Barents Sea Ice Edge Positions in the Last 442 Years. Part 2: Sun, Moon and Planets (2021, International Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics)
  • Sea Level Records on Ouvéa Island in New Caledonia (2020, Natural Science)

The scientist worked collaboratively with several frequent co-authors, including J.-E. Solheim, Ole Humlum, Stig Falk-Petersen, Björn Ambrosiani, and Phyllis Anderson Ambrosiani.

Mörner also contributed to a book publication titled International Research in Environment, Geography and Earth Science Vol. 1 published in 2020 by Book Publisher International, part of SCIENCEDOMAIN International.

Their research addressed various aspects of climate and geological changes over historic and prehistoric timescales, focusing particularly on ice dynamics, sea level variations, and tsunami events. The multidisciplinary nature of their work involved integrating environmental science, geological records, and astrophysical elements to analyze Earth system processes.
