This study investigates the north-east-subbasin of the Nordkapp Basin in the Barents Sea. Main focus has been on mapping shallow seismic anomalies from 3D data, their potential association with faulting and sub-surface structures, and further to compare the occurrence of seismic anomalies to possible gas-flares above the seabed from water column data. The stratigraphic intervals from Triassic to ...

Gámanjunni 3 er et av de ustabile fjellpartiene i Norge med høyest bevegelseshastighet. Hovedmålet med studiet er å sammenstille gamle og nye feltdata, bevegelsesdata og geofysiske data fra tidligere studier ved Gámanjunni 3 til en helhetlig geologisk modell i 3D, og undersøke hvilke interne og eksterne faktorer som kontrollerer fjellpartiet. I tillegg skal det fokuseres på bevegelsesdynamikk, ...

Submarine glacial landforms have been identified and mapped in order to reconstruct ice sheet dynamics and to describe postglacial sedimentary processes of coastal Søre Sunnmøre in southwestern Norway which lies between 62 and 62.5⁰N. Landform identification has been accomplished through analysis of high-resolution multibeam echosounder (MBES) bathymetric data, backscatter data, LiDAR data, video ...

The late Cenozoic evolution of the southwestern Barents Sea shelf includes periods of uplift, erosion and glaciations. This part of the stratigraphy has been studied using 2D and 3D seismic data, with emphasis on the interplay between uplift, erosion and glaciations and salt movement. The study area comprises the Svalis, Samson and Norvarg domes and the Nordkapp Basin, where halokinesis has been a ...

In many parts of Scandinavia, the glacial history is more well established than in northern Sweden. The Veiki moraines in northeastern Sweden presumably store information about the Weichselian glaciations. The moraines were formed when stagnant ice was slowly melting under a thick debris cover, forming water filled sinkholes, that were left as elevated ice-walled lake plains when the ice finally ...

Rock slope failures are known major contributors to landscape evolution in alpine Norway, and also pose a threat to people and infrastructure in the present day. By examining the history of rock slope failures at active rockslide sites an understanding of recurrence intervals and triggering mechanisms can be achieved. The focus of this study is to form a complete picture of the evolution of an area ...

The aim of this thesis is to evaluate petrophysical properties and seismic interpretation of main reservoirs of Norne field in Mid Norwegian sea. Petrophysical evaluation helps in getting familiar with reservoir characterization using wireline logs data. The main concentration has been given to evaluate different reservoir properties i.e. porosity, shale volume, water saturation, hydrocarbon saturation, ...

Denne oppgaven består i å undersøke det aktive Storfjorddeltaet med hensyn på morfologi og sedimentologi. Den hevede delen av deltaet ble også undersøkt ved 3 snitt for å finne ut hvordan deltaet hadde progradert for omtrent 3000 år siden og frem til i dag. Kartlegging og flybilder ble brukt, i tillegg til siling av prøver og datering av materiale. Resultatet ble at deltaet er klassifisert som et ...

The focus of this thesis is how methane seepage influences foraminifera l tests. Specifically, How how carbon and oxygen isotopes in planktic foraminifera tests are influenced by methane seepage. The study area is Vestnesa Ridge were four gravity cores were collected during a CAGE cruise in 2013. The cores were taken both from the southern side, where flares has have been recorded, and from the ...

The aim of this study has been to structurally assess and characterize the unstable rock slopes (URS) at Mellomfjellet using an interdisciplinary approach of structural geological analysis, geomorphological mapping, photogrammetry and remote sensing. The URS are located on the west-facing slopes of Mellomfjellet and display a dramatic geomorphology with deep ice filled fractures and clearly displaced ...
