Her current PhD project focuses on sill intrusions and hydrothermal vent complexes (HTVCs) along the Møre and Vøring volcanic margins, and how venting through HTVCs may have affected the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). Sills and vent structures are investigated using high-resolution 2D and 3D seismic data.
Cornelia holds a BSc. in Geology and a MSc. in Petroleum Geoscience from UiT – The Arctic University of Norway. Her MSc. project focused on gaining a better understanding of the relationship between structural elements and focused fluid flow features along the northern margin of the Loppa High, SW Barents Sea.
