Filippos Tsikalas

Filippos Tsikalas is a Professor at the University of Oslo's Department of Geosciences, specializing in sedimentary basin studies and tectono-sedimentary processes. His research focuses on continental rifting, salt tectonics, marine margin evolution, and impact cratering. He is affiliated with the Section for Study of Sedimentary Basins, contributing to interdisciplinary projects in the North Atlantic and Barents Sea regions.

Research Interests: Tsikalas investigates structural and stratigraphic evolution of rifted margins, salt basin dynamics, and impact crater deformation. His work integrates geological, geophysical, and numerical modeling approaches to understand crustal and sedimentary processes.

Publications highlight studies on the Lofoten-Vesterålen margin, Nordkapp Basin salt tectonics, and the Mjølnir impact crater. Articles emphasize quantitative analysis of extension, crustal thinning, and post-impact sedimentary responses.
