Mapping of fracture corridors in the basement rocks of the Øygarden Complex, Western Norway
(Master thesis, 2019-06-08)Fracture corridors, defined as tabular zones of enhanced fracture intensity, are common features in both sedimentary and crystalline rocks. As potential high permeable structures, research has shown that fracture corridors ... -

Microstructural analysis of coal-bearing deformation bands at Wangaloa, New Zealand
(Master thesis, 2021-11-22)Deformation bands are defined as tabular, millimeter to centimeter wide zones of localized strain that commonly form in porous granular rock. Deformation bands have been studied in great detail over the last four decades ... -
Modelling temporal changes in the gravity field in the Nankai Trough Subduction Zone, Japan
(Master thesis, 2019-12-20)The Nankai trough subduction zone off southwest Japan is prone to large earthquakes, causing tsunamis and great damages to the nearby islands. Linking the sources of these earthquakes to asperities along the plate interface ... -
On the importance of temperature and precipitation changes for glacial ice sheet stability
(Master thesis, 2023-11-20)Ice sheets undergo periodic advances and retreats, resulting in glacial-interglacial cycles. The Last Glacial Period is widely believed as involving a long-time buildup phase followed by a rapid termination over approximately ... -
Polygonal faults in the northern North Sea
(Master thesis, 2021-06-01)Polygonal faults have been studied in sedimentary basins at the Norwegian continental shelf and globally as non-tectonic normal faults. The polygonal faults have been recognized for a long time, but no one has described ... -
Post-Caledonian topographic and structural evolution of the Nordfjord region in Western Norway – Insights from Apatite Fission Track thermochronology and structural mapping
(Master thesis, 2023-02-06)The topographic and tectonic post-Caledonian evolution of western Norway is still not fully understood. Improving resolution in the low-temperature thermochronological database, this study focuses on a constrained area ... -
Postglasial forvitring, glasial erosjon og tektonikk som landskapsutviklende agenser i Lyse, Rogaland
(Master thesis, 2019-06-13)Lysefjordområdet, hovedsakelig bestående av granitt, antas å ha vært dekket av is gjentatte ganger i kvartær. Området har lavt relieff og ligger over havnivå, og fjellplatåer er separert av dype glasiale søkk og fjorder. ... -
Potential Seismogenic Faults in Norway
(Master thesis, 2019-06-26)Identification of seismogenic potential of faults in an area is crucial in the assessment of earthquake hazard. One of the most challenging tasks in seismotectonic analysis that leads to the identification of the seismogenic ... -
Process-based morphological and hydrological modelling of a glacially sculptured tidal inlet system, Vestvågøy, Lofoten
(Master thesis, 2021-10-01)This thesis investigates the decadal-scale morphological developments of a glacially sculptured tidal inlet system at the Lofoten archipelago in Norway. The tidal inlet system consists of three interconnected basins with ... -
Processing and Interpretation of Multichannel Seismic Reflection Data Acquired off Isfjorden, Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2022-10-03)The Svalbard archipelago has been complexly deformed during its billions of years-long evolution history, where fault zones, other deformation structures and hard seafloor morphology have emerged. This research project has ... -
Processing and interpretation of reflection seismic data from Isfjorden, Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2021-06-01) -
Prosessering og tolkning av refleksjonsseismiske data fra Isfjorden, Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2020-09-01)I august 2002 ble fire 2D multikanals refleksjonsseismiske linjer innsamlet innerst i Isfjorden, i det som i denne studien kalles Billefjorden området. Studieområdet er preget av Billefjorden forkastningssone (BFZ), og har ... -
Quantifying Earth System Interactions across the Mid-Pleistocene Transition
(Master thesis, 2020-12-17)Many different mechanisms have been proposed to explain the change in glacial intensity and duration that occurred during the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT), 1250-700 thousand years ago. Despite a growing volume of ... -
Quantifying earth system interactions during the last glacial period
(Master thesis, 2024-10-07)The earth system is a complex dynamical system, which makes it challenging to infer causal interactions and mechanism. Understanding causal interactions during periods of rapid climate change in the past is crucial for ... -
Reconstructing environmental variability at Leynavatn, Faroe Islands
(Master thesis, 2019-06-26)A new continuous environmental reconstruction has been established based on a 390 cm long lake core from Leynavatn Streymoy (southeast Faroes Islands), containing sediments spanning from the last 550 CE (Common Era). To ... -
Refining Greenland geothermal heat flux through stable isotope analysis
(Master thesis, 2023-03-30)Geothermal heat flux is an important control on the dynamics of glaciers and ice sheets. In Greenland however, only few direct observations of geothermal heat flux exist. The exact spatial distribution and magnitude of ... -
Rekonstruksjon av bredemde sjøar ved Gråfjellsbrea, Folgefonna
(Master thesis, 2021-09-15)Global oppvarming og smeltande brear fører til aukande fare knytt til stabiliteten av bredemde sjøar og drenering ved jøkullaup. Eit jøkullaup er ei brå tapping av ein bredemd sjø med påfølgjande stor vassføring som igjen ... -
Rekonstruksjon av deglasiasjonsforløpet og havnivåendringar i Valldal, Fjord kommune, Møre og Romsdal, ved bruk av 10Be-eksponeringsdatering og GIS-analysar
(Master thesis, 2021-06-01)Hovudformålet med masteroppgåva er å rekonstruere deglasiasjonsforløpet og havnivåendringane i Valldal, Fjord kommune, for seinglasial tid og holocen. 27 beryllium-10 eksponeringsaldrar frå overflater i Valldal nyttast til ...
