Comparison between Air Temperature and Land Surface Temperature for the City of São Paulo, Brazil
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)This study aims to identify the relationship between changes in temperature regarding urbanization processes and seasonality in the city of São Paulo, located in the Tropic of Capricorn. The land surface temperature (LST) ... -
Geofaglig vurdering av konsekvenser ved klimaframskrivinger for verdensarvområdet Vestnorsk fjordlandskap, delområde Geirangerfjorden
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)I Møre og Romsdal er det forventet en økning i temperatur og nedbør frem mot perioden 2071-2100. Dette inkluderer en økning i årlig middeltemperatur på ca. 3,5-4,0 ºC og en økning i årsnedbør på 15%. Økningen vil føre til ... -
Vurdering og tentativ kvantifisering av stislitasje i Geirangerfjorden verdsarvområde
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Ferdsel i stiar fører til auka erosjon i lausmassane og slitasje på forvitringshuda til dei harde overflatene i stiane. Problemstillinga i denne oppgåva omhandlar tentativ kvantifisering av stislitasje i lausmassar og på ... -
Processing and interpretation of reflection seismic data from Isfjorden, Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)The geology of the present-day Svalbard is complex and has formed through several million years of repeated episodes of orogeneses, uplift, deformation and erosion. This has resulted in complex deformation structures and ... -
Crystallographic orientation mapping of lizardite serpentinite by Raman spectroscopy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The serpentine mineral lizardite displays strong Raman anisotropy in the OH-stretching region, resulting in significant wavenumber shifts (up to ca. 14.5 cm−1) that depend on the orientation of the impinging excitation ... -
Sen-holocene maringeologiske avsetningsprosesser i Førdefjorden
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Fjordlandskapet langs den vestnorske kysten er viktige maringeologiske arkiv grunnet deres semi-isolerte morfologi. Fjordbassengenes sedimentære avsetninger består hovedsakelig av sediment knyttet til proksimale- og distale ... -
Interpretation of alluvial deposits in deep directional resistivity data: the Triassic Skagerrak Formation, Ivar Aasen, Utsira High
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)A significant amount of hydrocarbons are contained within fluvial deposits, which constitute potential CO2 storage sites. The Skagerrak 2 reservoir zone of the Triassic Skagerrak Formation in the Ivar Aasen field (North ... -
Holocene skredhendingar i Sulafjorden og på Hareidlandet, Sunnmøre
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Masteroppgåva har som formål å undersøkje om det er ein potensiell samanheng mellom observerte holocene skredhendingar og jordskjelv eller om det er tsunami, i Sulafjorden og i innsjøsedimenter på Hareidlandet. Problemstillinga ... -
Facies, Geometry and Paleogeography of the Eocene Battfjellet Formation, Longyearbyen Area, Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)This MSc thesis investigates the facies and architecture variability of the Paleogene Battfjellet Formation in the Longyearbyen area on Svalbard, with the aim to complement the regional framework of the formation. Together ... -
Isavsmeltningshistorie og havnivåendringer på Værlandet, nord for munningen av Sognefjorden
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Forskning på havnivå og isavsmeltinghistorie tilbake i tid er viktig for å forstå hvilke prosesser som har påvirket utviklingsforløpet. Dette kan så brukes til å modellere fremtidige endringer i havnivå. Det er i dette ... -
Evolution of ore-forming fluids in a post-collisional porphyry Cu-Au system: A case study from the Bučim deposit, Republic of North Macedonia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The Bučim porphyry Cu-Au deposit is situated in the westernmost part of the Serbo-Macedonian Massif, Republic of North Macedonia. The deposit is hosted by Precambrian gneisses with tectonically imbedded rare lenses of ... -
Elastic Imaging and Full Waveform Inversion for Carbon Sequestration
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Geological sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) is essential to reduce the effects of global warming. However, this requires careful monitoring. Reflection seismics collects data from a large area and is therefore the ... -
Impact of runoff temporal distribution on ice dynamics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Record highs of meltwater production at the surface of the Greenland ice sheet have been recorded with a high recurrence over the last decades. Those melt seasons with longer durations, larger intensities, or with both ... -
Facies and sedimentary architectures in the Upper Silurian Ringerike Group, Eastern Norway
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01) -
Structure and evolution of central and south Hadeland, the Oslo Region
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)The Oslo Region has been influenced by at least two major tectonic events: Contraction and formation of the Caledonian orogeny as a result of plate convergence and, later, extension and formation of the Oslo Graben in ... -
Seismic imaging of faults and fault zones: insight through modelling for improved interpretation
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Faults and fault zones in the subsurface can create problems in reservoir production and well placement if gone un-detected because of restriction of fluid flow or affecting the ability of the reservoir to hold fluids. In ... -
