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 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 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 ... -
Studier av den brå overgangen til "den lille istid" i havområdet nord for island
(Master thesis, 2019-05-03)De siste tiårenes forskning tyder på at endringer i havstrømmene nord for Island har en nær sammenheng med brå klimaendringer i den nordiske region. Selv om Island ligger sentralt til i det nord-atlantiske klimasystemet ... -
A study of rock lenses in extensional faults, focusing on factors controlling shapes and dimensions
(Master thesis, 2003)The intension of this work has been to investigate the factors controlling the shapes and dimensions of horses, including the type of mechanism active in their generation and development, position of the horses relative ... -
A study of the ichnology, lithology and reservoir quality of the Palaeogene Grumantbyen Formation on Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2016-11-10)The Palaeogene Grumantbyen Formation is one of the least understood formations in the geology of Svalbard. The objective of this thesis was to get a better understanding of the sedimentological development and depositional ... -
Study of the impact of heterogeneity on the modeling of fluid-flow, based on a turbidite reservoir analogue Ainsa-1 quarry outcrop, Spain
(Master thesis, 2012-06-01)Geological heterogeneity includes variations in porosity, lithology, mechanical properties, structure, etc. (Eaton, 2006) and in the case of sedimentary bodies, facies distribution acts as a constraint of them. It is proven ... -
Study of the seismic source parameters and its relation with other seismic engineering parameters
(Doctoral thesis, 2013-04-17)The term seismic source refers to the sources which can generate seismic waves. The seismic source of tectonic earthquakes is represented as a displacement discontinuity on a plane surface as a result of shear faulting. ... -
Subglacial sediment distribution from constrained seismic inversion, using MuLTI software: examples from Midtdalsbreen, Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Fast ice flow is associated with the deformation of subglacial sediment. Seismic shear velocities, Vs, increase with the rigidity of material and hence can be used to distinguish soft sediment from hard bedrock substrates. ... -
Substantial spatial variation in glacial erosion rates in the Dronning Maud Land Mountains, East Antarctica
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The coast-parallel Dronning Maud Land (DML) mountains represent a key nucleation site for the protracted glaciation of Antarctica. Their evolution is therefore of special interest for understanding the formation and ... -
