High Mountain Melt-Down: Local Perceptions of Global Warming in the Andes and Himalayas
(Master thesis, 2008)Present scientific knowledge about global warming affirms that ice and snow packs in the high mountains of the world are melting at increasing rates (see IPCC 2007 and UNEP 2007). Melting glaciers and receding snowlines ... -
Applied Structural Geology – Case Studies of Underground Constructions and Rockslides
(Doctoral thesis, 2008-02-26)An understanding of the structural elements in the sub-surface is of great importance when establishing new constructions in bedrock, or surveying areas prone to rockslides. In this thesis the focus has been on combining ... -
Deformation bands in porous sandstones, their microstructure and petrophysical properties
(Doctoral thesis, 2008-02-27)Deformation bands are commonly thin tabular zones of crushed or reorganized grains that form in highly porous rocks and sediments. Unlike a fault, typically the slip is negligible in deformation bands. In this dissertation ... -
Seismotectonics in Central Sudan and Local Site Effects in Western Khartoum
(Master thesis, 2008-03-27)The central part of Sudan is tectonically significant and thus needs to be studied. In recent years, the central part has grown economically and the population has increased. This results in growing interest to estimate ... -
Structural development of the Håsteinen Devonian Massif, its Caledonian substrate and the subjacent Nordfjord–Sogn Detachment Zone - a contribution to the understanding of Caledonian contraction and Devonian extension in West Norway
(Doctoral thesis, 2008-05-30)In western Norway, the contractional history of the Caledonian Orogeny ended with the Scandian continentcontinent collision between Baltica and Laurentia at around 420-400 Ma, resulting in formation of eclogites in the ... -
Tredimensjonal gravimetrisk modellering på Vøring marginen
(Master thesis, 2008-06-02)En tredimensjonal litosfæremodell ble konstruert for Vøring marginen, utenfor kysten av Midt-Norge. Grunnlaget for modellen var 32 tolkede OBS-profiler. 11 regionale grenseflater ble digitalisert fra hvert av de 32 ... -
Sedimentological and petrophysical analysis of the Monte Sant'Angelo Megabreccias (Cenomanian), Gargano, southern Italy
(Master thesis, 2008-06-02)The Monte Sant'Angelo Megabreccias (Cenomanian) is one of three distinct and impressive Cretaceous megabreccias exposed on the flank of the Apulian platform, Gargano Promontory, southern Italy. This thesis describes and ... -
Fault Facies Modelling: 3D representation of faults in petroleum reservoirs
(Master thesis, 2008-06-30)The purpose of a reservoir model is to act as a tool for optimizing development and production strategies for subsurface hydrocarbon reservoirs. Such a model is intended to be predictive, and to act as a map for the ones ... -
Early post-deglaciation shorelines and sea-level changes along Hardangerfjorden and adjacent fjord areas, W. Norway
(Doctoral thesis, 2008-09-05) -
Transgressive development of coal-bearing coastal plain to shallow marine setting in a flexural compressional basin, Paleocene, Svalbard, Arctic Norway
(Doctoral thesis, 2008-09-08)The most extensive Paleogene succession on Svalbard, in the Arctic north of Norway, is found in the Central Tertiary Basin of Spitsbergen. It consists of a clastic basin fill of mudstone, sandstone, coal and rare conglomerate ... -
Deltaic clinothems − Digital data capture, geometries, and reservoir implications
(Doctoral thesis, 2008-12-15)Subsurface reservoir models are typically limited by a lack of spatially accurate geometric data on bedform architecture and geometry, which are key controls on fluid flow. Outcrop analogues have long been utilized as a ... -
Drilling for the Archean Roots of Life and Tectonic Earth in the Barberton Mountains

Sr/Ca in Calcitic Tests of Benthic Foraminifera - A Potential Water-Depth Proxy?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009)Well-preserved low-Mg calcite tests of modern benthic foraminifera from a depth transect off SW Norway show decreasing Sr/Ca with increasing water depth (r = –0.84). The Mg/Ca ratios also decrease with increasing water ... -
Structure and evolution of the Bellsund Graben between Forlandsundet and Bellsund (Spitsbergen) based on marine seismic data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009)Seismic interpretation of multi-channel seismic data acquired along the western shelf of Spitsbergen allowed identification of the main geological features of the area, including the Hornsund Fault Zone, and the Forlandsundet ... -
The development of oxygen content in the Greenland Sea from 1993 to 2008. A study of convection depth and deep layer changes.
(Master thesis, 2009-05-25)In previous years the hydrography in the Greenland Sea have been investigated based on temperature and salinity observations along with different transient tracers. In this work annual zonal sections, averaged values of ... -
Structural interpretation and structural modelling of carbonate and clastic reservoir analogue, Løvehovden, northern Billefjord, Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2009-06-01)The Master's Thesis is centred in the topics of structural geology and structural modelling. I present a reinterpretation of the Løvehovden reverse Tertiary faults from Dallmann et al. (2004) as syn-depositional Carboniferous ... -
Seismicity in Pakistan during 2008 and Local Site Response in Muzaffarabad and Islamabad, Pakistan
(Master thesis, 2009-06-02)Pakistan is tectonically significant and thus needs to be studied. In recent years, Pakistan is growing economically and the population has increased. Pakistan has experienced several disastrous earthquakes in the historical ...
