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 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, 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-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 ... -

Fluid flow properties of the Wilhelmøya Subgroup,a potential unconventional CO2 storage unit in central Spitsbergen
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The Upper Triassic to Middle Jurassic Wilhelmøya Subgroup forms one of the more suitable reservoir units on the Norwegian Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. The target siliciclastic storage unit, which is encountered at approx. ... -
Fluid migration pathways to seafloor seepage in inner Isfjorden and Adventfjorden, Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)This study represents a marine baseline study for the Longyearbyen CO2 Lab, in which CO2 may be injected in the Upper Triassic–Middle Jurassic Kapp Toscana Group, which comprises several permeable beds. The target ... -
Forced regression in rift shoulder derived deltas
(Master thesis, 2018-06-30)Footwall uplift and migration of fault activity have led to the preservation of spectacular down-stepping Gilbert-type deltas at the southern margin of the Corinth Rift. It is the purpose of this thesis to present the ... -
Forovermodellering og inversjon av 3D og 4D CSEM-data basert på integralligningsmetoder
(Master thesis, 2010-06-01)Elektromagnetiske undersøkelser blir benyttet i letesammenheng for å skille mellom vann- og hydrokarbonfylte prospekt, og dermed øke sannsynligheten for å finne hydrokarboner. I forovermodellering, benyttes ulike ... -
Four billion years of ophiolites reveal secular trends in oceanic crust formation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-07)We combine a geological, geochemical and tectonic dataset from 118 ophiolite complexes of the major global Phanerozoic orogenic belts with similar datasets of ophiolites from 111 Precambrian greenstone belts to construct ... -
Fracture-generated permeability and groundwater yield in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2002)The transport of groundwater in bedrock is largely determined by interconnected fractures and their apertures. The conditions by which fractures become interconnected are thus of primary importance in understanding ... -
From Caledonian collapse to North Sea Rift: The extended history of a metamorphic core complex
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Extensional systems evolve through different stages due to changes in the rheological state of the lithosphere. It is crucial to distinguish ductile structures formed before and during rifting, as both cases have important ...
