(Master thesis, 2021-06-01)The Solund-Stavfjord Ophiolite Complex (SSOC) is located within the western Norwegian Caledonides and represents a remnant of the youngest phase of oceanic crust formation, dated to Late Ordovician (443 Ma). Detailed field ... -
Accretionary history of Lower Ordovician island arc complexes on Bømlo: evidence from detrital zircon dating and geochemical data
(Master thesis, 2017-06-13)The provenance studies of sedimentary sequences associated with island arc complexes on Bømlo within the ophiolitic terrain of SW Norway has demonstrated that the provenance signature of these sedimentary rocks changed ... -
Anisotropic Properties of a Mid-Lithospheric Discontinuity in eastern North America
(Master thesis, 2017-06-23)During the last few years the occurrence of a mid-lithospheric discontinuity (MLD) has been observed in lithospheric studies of cratons. Studies using receiver functions have focused mainly on extracting high resolution ... -
Antropogen påvirkning og bæreevne i turistgrotter: Grønligrotta, Mo i Rana
(Master thesis, 2018-06-20)Grønligrotta er den eneste turistgrotta i Norge med innlagt belysning og god tilrettelegging for turister. Hensikten med denne masteroppgaven har vært å undersøke hvordan turistene påvirker miljøet i grotta, og om dette ... -
Architecture and Sedimentology of Late Weichselian Delta Deposit in Vie, Førde Norway
(Master thesis, 2023-12-04)An early Holocene glacier front deposit of a lower outwash fan and an upper delta, at Vie sandpit next to the town of Førde in Sunnfjord municipality in western Norway has been investigated using various fields methods, ... -
Assessing linkages between ice sheet calving, subpolar gyre hydrography and deep water ventilation during the last glaciation
(Master thesis, 2017-06-23)It is commonly postulated that ice sheet dynamics and freshwater perturbations in the North Atlantic were linked to disruptions in deep water circulation and North Atlantic cooling in the past. However, the exact nature ... -
Bruk av borekaksmateriale fra letebrønner til studier av erosjon i kvartær.
(Master thesis, 2016-06-15)Naustformasjonen er en glasialt derivert avsetning dannet gjennom de siste 2,8 millioner år (Ma) på midtnorsk sokkel. Formasjonen, som består av fem enheter (Naust-N, -A, -U, -S og - T), består av mektige klinoformer som ... -
Calibration of seismic and well data: Towards Improved Quantitative Seismic Reservoir Characterisation of the Triassic to Middle-Jurassic Gullfaks Reservoir Units of the northern North Sea
(Master thesis, 2011-11-20)Abstract: Characterization and evaluation of (oil and gas) reservoirs is typically achieved using a combination of seismic and well data. It is therefore critical that the two data types are well calibrated to correct and ... -
The Cascadia subduction zone: Kinky or not? An implementation of a 2D background velocity model in teleseismic scattered-wave inversion.
(Master thesis, 2017-06-23)This thesis, within the field of seismology, investigates the process and effect of implementing a complex reference model in a teleseismic migration technique based on the Inverse Generalized Radon Transform. This migration ... -
Centennial-millennial scale variations in West Antarctic Ice Sheet discharge and their relationship to climate and ocean changes during the late Holocene
(Master thesis, 2017-06-23)The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) may be highly sensitive to future warming and to ocean driven changes in subsurface melting. Understanding this sensitivity is critical as WAIS dynamics are a major source of uncertainty ... -
Characterisation of extensional faults in carbonate rocks (Suez Rift, Egypt); with particular focus on the role of shale smear
(Master thesis, 2012-04-27)The distribution, composition and flow-properties of fault core and shale smear along faults in carbonate reservoirs is less well understood compared to faults in siliciclastic rocks. This study uses field data to characterize ... -
Characterizing the distribution of microbial sulfate reduction in Loki`s Castle hydrothermal system of the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge (AMOR)
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)Studies on the distribution of microbial sulfate reduction, and its impact on the global carbon and sulfur cycle, have mostly been conducted in shallow and deep-marine sediments. Little is therefore known about the ecological ... -
