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 ... -
Assessing the influence of supraglacial lakes to the mass balance of Tapado Glacier
(Master thesis, 2023-11-27)Glaciers are an important source of water for agriculture, mining and large population residing in downstream basins in the semiarid Andes. The Tapado Complex (2.44 km2) is the main glacier in the catchment Coquimbo-La ... -
Effects of near-surface thawing on elastic properties and signatures of seismic surface waves
(Master thesis, 2023-09-04)The ongoing temperature rise in the Arctic may have severe effects on large areas of today’s permanently frozen ground. Therefore, it is important to establish robust systems that can monitor permafrost changes with time. ... -
3D reservoir characterization of paleokarst reservoirs on Loppa High through seismic modelling
(Master thesis, 2023-09-04) -
Zircon provenance of Devonian deposits in Western Norway
(Master thesis, 2011-06-01)The provenance of the Devonian deposits of western Norway has been studied by detrital zircon geochronology. These deposits are found in the Fensfjorden -, Solund -, Kvamshesten -, Hornelen - and Smøla basin. A total of ... -
Automated characterisation of Deep-sea imagery using Machine Learning: implications for future conservation and mineral extraction
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)This thesis aimed to develop a methodology using Machine Learning (ML) techniques for the interpretation of deep-sea resources. The deep-sea hosts diverse ecosystems and valuable resources, but potential environmental ... -
Interpretation of fluvial deposits in Deep Directional Resistivity data - Comparison of the Skagerrak Formation at the Ivar Aasen Field to the Morrison Formation, Utah, USA
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Fluvial deposits are important reservoirs in the subsurface and may host significant amounts of hydrocarbons and will offer significant volume for subsurface CO2-storage in the future. Such reservoirs are commonly complex ... -
Årlig flomvariabilitet i Øyeren de siste 250 år basert på sedimentkjerner
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Flomskader er en av de mest kostbare naturfarene i Norge. Å innhente ny kunnskap om hvordan de varierer over lengre tidsintervall kan gi verdifull kunnskap om hva det er som driver variasjonen, og i hvilken grad den er ... -
Sedimentære miljø, mikrobielle samfunn og porevannkjemi: Sammenligning av sedimenter fra dyphavet og på kontinentalskråningen ved Bjørnøyviften
(Master thesis, 2023-06-06)Hensikten med studien er å undersøke om Mohn-Knipovich ryggen har høyere sedimentasjonsrater og mikrobiell aktivitet enn den nærliggende, grunnmarine kontinentalskråningen sørvest for Bjørnøyrenna. Grunnmarine avsetningsmiljø ... -
The importance of mineralogy in the formation of polygonal fault systems in the North Sea
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01) -
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 ... -
Avalanches, climate and glaciers - a reconstruction based on lake sediments from lake Kjøsnesfjorden
(Master thesis, 2023-03-20)To kjerneprøver fra Kjøsnesfjorden, Vestland, har blitt analysert for å undersøke den glasiale historien og massebevegelser i holocen. Tidligere undersøkelser, klimatiske data og et kvartærgeologisk kart ble brukt for å ... -
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 ... -
Visualizing Three-Dimensional Variations in The Mineral Distribution of Black Smoker Chimneys

A high-resolution reconstruction of climate variability at Lagoa Negra Lake Flores, Azores
(Master thesis, 2023-02-07) -
Investigation of changes in Briksdalsbreen, western Norway from 1966 - 2020
(Master thesis, 2023-02-06)Briksdalsbreen in western Norway was studied using remote sensing. Sets of optical aerial photographs captured between 1966 to 2020 were used with LiDAR-based Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and glacier outlines derived ... -
Deglaciation history of Frøyabanken and Halsafjorden, Norway
(Master thesis, 2023-02-06)This thesis aims to reconstruct post-glacial ice sheet dynamics on the Norwegian coast and adjacent continental shelf area, a region for which there is significant uncertainty regarding ice sheet movement due to a lack of ... -
A study of normal fault structure and along-strike variations, based on the northern Moab fault system, Utah.
(Master thesis, 2022-11-07)Fault systems are complex structures where multiple elements generate a network that can deeply impact fluid flow, affecting subsurface hydrocarbon and groundwater reservoirs. However, seismic data from such structures are ... -
High resolution hydrographic reconstructions from the Southeast Pacific spanning Antarctic Warming event A2 (44-48 Kyr BP)
(Master thesis, 2022-10-03)Knowledge about and reconstructions of past climate change is important to distinguish between natural climate variability on various time scales and the more recent man-made climate changes. In this thesis, sub-millennial ...
