Chemical weathering on Eldsfjellet, Meland municipality, western Norway
(Master thesis, 2012-11-27)The Subject of this master thesis was to define the chemical weathering processes, create a weathering chain from sink to source and to evaluate the degree of weathering on Eldsfjellet, Meland municipality in western Norway. ... -
A Comparative Palynofacies Study of Two Methods Used for Source Rock Validation. A Case Study From a Mississippian Succession on Spitsbergen
(Master thesis, 2017-06-30)This study is conducted on the analysis of twenty-nine kerogen slides of Tournasian and Visean age. The outcrop samples were collected from the Hoelbreen and Birger Johnsonfjellet Members in the Birger Johnsonfjellet section ... -
Comparison of metamorphic evolution and tectonic position of metasediments of the Austevoll islands with rocks from the Samnanger Complex (Major Bergen Arc, Norwegian Caledonides)
(Master thesis, 2015-08-01)Metasedimentary rocks represent a substantial component of the Bergen Arcs System and they are mostly confined to the Minor and Major Bergen Arcs. The arcs represents imbricate structures composed of island arc lithologies, ... -
Controls of basement fabric on cover faulting in strike-slip regimes: analogue physical models of faults using plaster
(Master thesis, 2015-06-01)The full complexity of deformation associated with natural faults is difficult to understand, given the lack of three-dimensional exposure in outcrop and the limitations of seismic resolution in the sub-surface. Analogue ... -
Controls on architecture and seismic imaging of igneous intrusions: Examples from LIDAR outcrop data on Traill Ø (East Greenland) and seismic data from the conjugate Møre Margin
(Master thesis, 2017-06-27)Intrusion of sills into sedimentary successions is a fundamental and widespread process in basins at volcanic rifted margins. Although intrusions emplaced at shallow paleodepths (<1.5 km) are relatively well understood, ... -
Controls on deformation band formation in carbonate grainstones along the Maghlaq Fault, Malta.
(Master thesis, 2018-06-20)Deformation bands are common structures in deformed porous rocks and sediments, that localise strain in millimetre to centimetre thick tabular zones. Deformation bands occurring in siliciclastic rocks have been described ... -
Controls on hydrocarbon column-heights in the Eastern province of Haltenbanken, the Norwegian Sea
(Master thesis, 2016-11-08)Knowledge of controls on hydrocarbon column-heights is highly relevant in hydrocarbon exploration, and important for determination of in-place volumes of prospects. The eastern province of Haltenbanken in the Norwegian Sea ... -
Controls on hydrocarbon column-heights in the north-eastern North Sea
(Master thesis, 2015-06-30)Knowledge about the controls on hydrocarbon column-heights is important in hydrocarbon exploration, as such column heights are the main controlling factor for in-place volumes of prospects. The north-eastern Viking Graben ... -
Controls on river patterns in active tectonic settings in the central Italian Apennines
(Master thesis, 2016-05-31)The central Italian Apennines have gone through a complex evolutionary history, involving compression and subsidence, followed by extension and uplift. The last 3 Ma, the area has experienced active extension, and presently ... -
Crevasses on Svalbard Glaciers: Distribution and Dynamic Controls
(Master thesis, 2015-05-31)Crevasses play a key role in understanding a wide range of glaciological processes, but the current understanding is mainly based on a few key studies. Recent years, studies on crevasse formation have been motivated by the ... -
Crustal transect from the Knipovich Ridge to Bear Island across the western Barents Sea margin
(Master thesis, 2010-06-08)A crustal model of a 322 km long transect from the Knipovich Ridge to Bear Island (Bjørnøya) has been obtained by use of reflection seismic data and wide angle Ocean Bottom Seismometer (OBS) data. Further constraints of ... -
Crustal velocity-depth model from Barents Sea Southeast based on a SSW-NNE oriented OBS-profile transecting the Tiddlybanken Basin and the Bjarmeland Platform
(Master thesis, 2014-11-20)A crustal model transecting the Tiddlybanken Basin, Hjalmar Johansen High and Bjarmeland Platform in the Barents Sea Southeast have been constructed with emphasis on P-wave phase picking and subsequent P-wave model-building ... -
Deciphering the metamorphic framework of ophiolite alteration and devolatilization at Linnajarvi, N-Norway
(Master thesis, 2021-12-01)Kvitfjell ultramafic body is one of around 20 ultramafic bodies found in the Linnajavri area of Northern Norway. These ultramafic fragments are situated within the Köli Nappe of the Upper Allochthon in the Caledonian ... -
Deformation bands in chalk - control on distribution and mechanism of formation
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)Deformation bands are narrow tabular zones that accommodates strain through the reorganization of grains by shearing and/or volumetric deformation in porous and granular rocks. Deformation bands in porous sandstones are ... -
Deglacial changes in western Atlantic sea surface temperatures and ice sheet variability
(Master thesis, 2023-04-11) -
The deglaciation of Kongsfjorden, Svalbard —based on surface exposure dating of glacial erratics and Quaternary geological mapping of Blomstrandhalvøya
(Master thesis, 2016-05-27)Surface exposure dating via 10Be cosmogenic nuclide dating is used, alongside Quaternary geological mapping of landforms and sediments, to reconstruct the course of deglaciation following the Late Weichselian Glacial Maximum ... -
