Kresten Anderskouv

Kresten Anderskouv serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in sedimentary geology with emphasis on palaeooceanography and reconstruction of past environments. His work integrates physical and biological processes to analyze pelagic carbonate systems and Cretaceous stratigraphy in Northwest Europe.

His research portfolio centers on:

• Pelagic carbonate evolution and depositional processes
• Sediment redeposition mechanisms in deep-marine settings
• Orbital-scale climatic and biotic changes during the Cretaceous
• Chalk reservoir characterization for hydrocarbon and CO₂ storage applications

Analysis of his 2022-2025 publications reveals consistent focus on Maastrichtian to Danian sedimentary systems in the North Sea Basin. Key contributions include quantifying clay-organic matter effects on nannofossil ooze erodibility, mapping oil distribution in depleted chalk reservoirs for $$\text{CO}_2$$ storage potential, and deciphering siliciclastic-carbonate interactions in the Norwegian Møre Basin. His methodology combines field sedimentology, laboratory analysis, and sequence stratigraphic frameworks to address both academic and industrial geological challenges.

No scientific awards are documented in the available records.

Anderskouv maintains active industry engagement through consultancy projects with Maersk Oil, including field course leadership at Stevns Klint and technical presentations on chalk deposition mechanics and reservoir properties. His 15 recorded professional activities include conference lectures on sedimentary oceanography and advisory roles for reservoir characterization studies.
