Facies Analysis and Sandbody Geometry of the Paleogene Battfjellet Formation, Central Western Nordenskiöld Land, Spitsbergen
(Master thesis, 2010)New sedimentological data from the central part of Nordenskiöld Land, Spitsbergen, contributes to the understanding of the depositional processes and sandbody geometry of the Battfjellet Formation (Eocene). A detailed ... -
Facies and sedimentary architectures in the Upper Silurian Ringerike Group, Eastern Norway
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01) -
Facies Architecture and Paleogeography of the Battfjellet Formation, Rypefjellet, Spitsbergen
(Master thesis, 2010-06-01)The shallow marine sandstones of the Battfjellet Fm are part of a regressive mega-sequence that represent the last stages of infilling of the Paleogene Central Basin in Spitsbergen. The Battfjellet Fm is believed to be of ... -
Facies composition and scaling of extensional faults in sedimentary rocks and its applications to modelling of fault zones
(Doctoral thesis, 2010-01-08) -
Facies model for a coarse-grained, tide-influenced delta: Gule Horn Formation (Early Jurassic), Jameson Land, Greenland
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-05-25)Tide-dominated deltas have an inherently complex distribution of heterogeneities on several different scales, and are less well-understood than their wave- and river-dominated counterparts. Depositional models of these ... -
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 ... -
Facies, palynostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy of the Wilhelmøya Subgroup (Upper Triassic–Middle Jurassic) in western central Spitsbergen, Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The Wilhelmøya Subgroup (Norian–Bathonian) is considered as the prime storage unit for locally produced CO2 in Longyearbyen on the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. We here present new drillcore and outcrop data and refined ... -
Fana har Norges første og beste naturarkiv fra varmetiden før siste istid

Fault core and its geostatistical analysis: Insight into the fault core thickness and fault displacement
(Master thesis, 2017-06-23)Fault core is a high-strain zone of a fault, which accommodate intense deformation. Due to high strain, complex structures and intensely deformed fault rocks form in the fault core, which again affects the geometry and ... -
Fault core thickness: Insights from siliciclastic and carbonate rocks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06-02)Fault core accommodates intense deformation in the form of slip surfaces and fault rocks such as fault gouge, cataclasite, breccia, lenses, shale smear, and diagenetic features. The complexity and variation in fault core ... -
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 ... -
Fault Gouge Characterization in the Øygarden Complex in SW Norway - Relevance for offshore CO2 storage
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Pre-existing structures such as faults are common within the North Sea sedimentary basin. Fault-bounded reservoirs provide significant closures for subsurface storing of CO2. An understanding of faults and fault rocks is ... -
Fault sealing and fluid contact control in Gullfaks Sør
(Master thesis, 2023-11-06)In subsurface reservoirs, understanding the fault sealing capacity is important to predict the amount of hydrocarbons present in the reservoirs. Some earlier literature has emphasized using shale gouge ratio (SGR) to predict ... -
Fault sealing in the Krafla-Askja area south of Oseberg
(Master thesis, 2021-06-01)Fault sealing is one of the key factors that control hydrocarbon accumulations. Faults in the subsurface can act as a conduit or a barrier to fluid flow and pressure communication. Understanding fault behavior is essential ... -
Fault Zone Characterization and Monitoring of CO2 Storage using Full Waveform Inversion
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)CO2 storage in geological formations is essential to limit global warming and reduce the effects of climate change. In order to store CO2 safely and prevent leakage, proper sealing mechanisms are required. Faults are complex ... -
Fault-controlled fluid circulation and diagenesis along basin-bounding fault systems in rifts - Insights from the East Greenland rift system
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-05)In marine rift basins, deep-water clastics (>200 m) in the hanging wall of rift- or basin-bounding fault systems are commonly juxtaposed against crystalline “basement” rocks in the footwall. A distinct feature of such fault ... -
Faults architecture and their scaling relationships: Insights into fault core thickness and fault displacement
(Master thesis, 2012-10-01)The purpose of this study is to investigate the statistical characteristics of fault core thickness and fault displacement, and to state the relationship between these two fault attributes. Field work was carried out At ... -
A first chronology for the East Greenland Ice-core Project (EGRIP) over the Holocene and last glacial termination
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)This paper provides the first chronology for the deep ice core from the East Greenland Ice-core Project (EGRIP) over the Holocene and the late last glacial period. We rely mainly on volcanic events and common peak patterns ... -
A first continuous three-year temperature record from the dimictic arctic–alpine Lake Tarfala, northern Sweden
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Arctic lakes are exposed to warming during increasingly longer ice-free periods and, if located in glaciated areas, to increased inflow of meltwater and sediments. However, direct monitoring of how such lakes respond to ... -
