Stratigraphic and Tectonic development of the Nyk High
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)This thesis aims to develop a holistic model of the stratigraphical and tectonic development of the Nyk High structure in the Northern Vøring Basin, explicitly focusing on the Cretaceous-Paleocene transition. The thesis ... -
Stratigraphic expression of the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum climate event during long-lived transient uplift—An example from a shallow to deep-marine clastic system in the Norwegian Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-20)Seismic geomorphology and stratigraphic analysis can reveal how source-to-sink systems dynamically respond to climatic and tectonic forcing. This study uses seismic reflection data from the Norwegian Sea to investigate the ... -
Stratigraphy and age of a Neoglacial sedimentary succession of proglacial outwash and an alluvial fan in Langedalen, Veitastrond, western Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)This study presents the sedimentary succession of an outwash plain and an alluvial fan located along the valley Langedalen at the south-eastern side of the Jostedalsbreen ice cap in inner Sogn, western Norway. A newly ... -
Stratigraphy and palaeosol profiles of the Upper Triassic Isfjorden Member, Svalbard
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The Isfjorden Member forms the upper part of the De Geerdalen Formation in Svalbard and is well exposed throughout central and eastern Spitsbergen, including the island of Wilhelmøya. We examine palaeosol profiles identified ... -
Structural analysis of a relay ramp affecting Eocene carbonate rocks in the Suez Rift, Egypt
(Master thesis, 2013-06-03)Detailed fault zone and relay ramp characterization have only to some extent previously been done in carbonate rocks. This study aims to use field data to contribute a better understanding of the deformation related to ... -
Structural analysis of the Jebel Fadeloun anticline, Tunisia: Impact of fractures and faults on the petrophysical properties of carbonate rocks
(Master thesis, 2015-06-01)Recognizing the structure, evolution and fluid flow within the earth's crust is a critical issue for both academic and applied geoscience. This study presents structural analysis of an anticline, which aim is to elucidate ... -
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 ... -
