Structural analysis of the northeastern Mohns Ridge
(Master thesis, 2009-06-24)A structural analysis of the northeastern Mohns Ridge situated in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea has been conducted using bathymetric data acquired during surveys in 2000 and 2001. Fault pattern and volcanic features are ... -
Structural and lithological controls on the architecture of igneous intrusions: examples from the NW Australian Shelf
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Rift-related magmatism resulting in widespread igneous intrusions has been documented in various basins, including the Faroe Shetland Basin (UK), the Voring and Møre basins (Norway), and along the NW Shelf of Australia. ... -
Structural and Pertrological Survey of Peridotite at Almklovdalen, Norway
(Master thesis, 2016-10-10)The Western Gneiss Region (WGR) HP-UHP metamorphic terrain is a part of the Baltic continental crust generated during the Gothian orogeny and re-mobilized during the Sveconorwegian and the Caledonian orogenies. During its ... -
Structural architecture and composition of crystalline basement offshore west Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-05)Numerous studies have investigated the geodynamic history and lithological composition of the Proterozoic basement, Caledonian nappes, and Devonian extensional basins and shear zones onshore west Norway. However, the ... -
Structural controls on fluid flow in carbonate rocks: quantitative insights from the Maltese Islands
(Master thesis, 2016-11-21)This MSc thesis documents and quantifies the relationship between structural complexity and fluid flow through field based studies carried out in excellent outcrops along the coast of the Maltese Islands. There is a wide ... -
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 ... -
Structural evolution of sheared margin basins: the role of strain partitioning. Sørvestsnaget Basin, Norwegian Barents Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Spatio-temporal analysis of basins formed along sheared margins has received much less attention than those formed along orthogonally extended margins. Knowledge about the structural evolution of such basins is important ... -
Structural inheritance and rapid rift-length establishment in a multiphase rift: The East Greenland rift system and its Caledonian orogenic ancestry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-06)We investigate (i) margin‐scale structural inheritance in rifts and (ii) the time scales of rift propagation and rift length establishment, using the East Greenland rift system (EGR) as an example. To investigate the ... -
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 ... -
Structural reconstructions of the Eastern Barents Sea at Meso-Tertiary evolution and influence on petroleum potential
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Barents Sea basin is the most explored and studied by the regional and petroleum geologists on the Russian Arctic shelf and has approved gas reserves. However, there are many questions in the petroleum exploration, one of ... -
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 ... -
Structure and evolution of deformation-band-dominated faults in porous volcaniclastic rocks. Insights from Eastern Taiwan
(Master thesis, 2018-06-13)This MSc project documents fault evolution in porous volcaniclastic rocks of Miocene age in Shihtiping, Eastern Taiwan. Sequential fault evolution in porous sandstone, and to some extent in carbonates, has been studied for ... -
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 ... -
Structure and flow properties of syn-rift border faults: The interplaybetween fault damage and fault-related chemical alteration (Dombjerg Fault, Wollaston Forland, NE Greenland)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-11)Structurally controlled, syn-rift, clastic depocentres are of economic interest as hydrocarbon reservoirs; understanding the structure of their bounding faults is of great relevance, e.g. in the assessment of fault-controlled ... -
Structure and Geochronology of the Acquadolce Phyllites and Metasiltstones (Elba Island, Italy)
(Master thesis, 2020-12-10)The Oligocene Acquadolce Phyllites and Metasiltstones (APM) of eastern Elba, Italy are high- pressure (HP) rocks related to the Apennine subduction zone. The unit gained newfound attention after the findings of high-pressure ... -
Structure and kinematics of an extensional growth fold, Hadahid Fault System, Suez Rift, Egypt
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Normal faulting drives extensional growth folding of the Earth's upper crust during continental extension, yet we know little of how fold geometry relates to the structural segmentation of the underlying fault. We use field ... -
Structure and metabolic potential of the prokaryotic communities from the hydrothermal system of Paleochori Bay, Milos, Greece
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Introduction: Shallow hydrothermal systems share many characteristics with their deep-sea counterparts, but their accessibility facilitates their study. One of the most studied shallow hydrothermal vent fields lies at ... -
