Asko Nord AS i a business located in Ramfjorden just outside of Tromsø. In this theses, their potential to produce electricity from renewable resources at their location is investigated. Wind around the building is to find suitable locations for wind turbines, and to estimate the wind at the wind turbines. The calculations show that in a feasible estimate the wind is able to produce 439 kwh ...

This master thesis studied the 3D-seismic dataset ST0825 located in the southwest Barents Sea. Aiming to map seismic anomalies and faults above and below the Upper Regional Unconformity (URU). The survey partly covers four different structural elements: Finnmark Platform, Tromsø Finnmark Fault Complex, Hammerfest Basin and Ringvassøy Loppa Fault Complex, south to north respectively. These areas ...

Multiple giant craters and mounds have been identified in the area of the Upper Bjørnøyrenna in the central Barents Sea from the reflection seismic and echo sounder data. Analysis of seismic and echo sounder data revealed clear connection between these distinct seafloor features and seismic amplitude anomalies. Distribution pattern of the numerous water column anomalies registered in the area and ...

Satellites generate data through their instruments as they hover in orbit. Satel- lite data is widely used in weather forecasts, environmental science, for military purposes, earth observation and more. The world depend on satellite data, for many purposes.

As increasing awareness of climate changes and surging power costs for big data centers today energy efficiency becomes increasingly important. In addition to that we carry mobile devices that depend on battery technology that is falling behind the rapid evolution of transistor technology and ever increasing power demands. At the same time there is an understanding that computer resources are not ...

As technology advances, researchers in the natural sciences collect ever-increasing amounts of data. While computer science research often focuses on effective ways to perform computations on large data sets, the visualization of large data sets can be just as important for achieving new insights. Just as cluster computing enables scalable computation on large data sets, so can cluster-based display ...

The main focus of this study has been to combine field observations of structural and geomorphological elements and interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) to investigate the unstable rock slope in Oksfjellet. The site is located along a NNE faced slope in a glacially eroded valley in Kåfjord, Troms. The Caledonian bedrock comprises mainly mica schists and display ductile (Caledonian) and ...

The present work focuses on the onshore/offshore analysis and correlation of brittle faults and fractures on the Porsanger Peninsula area in west-Finnmark, the shelf areas and the immidiate offshore areas (Finnmark Platform and Gjesvær low). Structural field observation, microstructural and SEM analysis provide the basis for the characterization of the geometry, kinematics and fault rocks. This data ...

The upper Cenozoic stratigraphy in the northern North Sea (Sleipner area) have been investigated, using high quality 3D seismic data and five exploration wells. Interpretation of the seismic data, have indicated six distinct sequences (S1-S6). These sequences have been classified according to reflection configuration, and well log characteristics. Based on the seismic data, a simple model have been ...

Based on the study of 2D seismic data, this thesis have focused on the depositional environment during the deposition of the Kai formation (Mid-Miocene – Early Pliocene) on the Mid-Norwegian continental margin, in order to increase our knowledge of the evolution of the paleo-environment in the time-period right before the development of the large Northern Hemisphere ice sheets. Based on a seismic ...
