    • Biogeochemical impact of historical submarine mine tailings on benthic ecosystems in the Repparfjord (Northern Norway) 

      Hoff, Marie; Argentino, Claudio; Huljek, Laura; Fiket, Zeljka; Mun, Yulia; Barrenechea Angeles, Inés; Strmic Palinkas, Sabina; Panieri, Giuliana (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-08)
      Historical copper mine tailings deposited in the Repparfjord, Northern Norway, provided new insight into the biogeochemical impact of submarine tailings disposals on high-latitude coastal ecosystems. The submarine tailings disposal in the Repparfjord represents a product of mining activities between 1972 and 1979. Their environmental impact has been extensively studied during the last decade, but ...
    • Evolution of metal-bearing fluids at the Nussir and Ulveryggen sediment-hosted Cu deposits, Repparfjord Tectonic Window, northern Norway 

      Mun, Yulia; Strmic Palinkas, Sabina; Kullerud, Kåre; Nilsen, Kjell S.; Neufeld, Kai; Bekker, Andrey (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-13)
      The Palaeoproterozoic greenstone belts of Fennoscandia are metamorphosed and deformed volcanic and sedimentary rocks that formed in basins with a high base-metal ore potential. One of these, the Repparfjord Tectonic Window (RTW), is exposed in the Caledonides of northern Norway and contains several sediment-hosted Cu deposits including Nussir and Ulveryggen. The RTW is composed of mafic metavolcanic ...
    • The Role of Mineral Assemblages in the Environmental Impact of Cu-Sulfide Deposits: A Case Study from Norway 

      Mun, Yulia; Palinkas, Sabina Strmic; Kullerud, Kåre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-12)
      Metallic mineral deposits represent natural geochemical anomalies of economically valuable commodities but, at the same time, their weathering may have negative environmental implications. Cu-sulfide mineral deposits have been recognized as deposits with a particularly large environmental footprint. However, different Cu deposits may result in significantly different environmental impacts, mostly ...
