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 ...

Subsequent to a widespread hiatus at the top of the Permian on western Svalbard, the Triassic Vardebukta, Tvillingodden and Bravaisberget formations were deposited. In this thesis, the sedimentology, geochemistry and diagenesis are investigated to determine the depositional environment and basinal setting of the Triassic deposits. In the investigated profile on Mariaholmen, only the upper part ...

The eastern parts of the northern Barents Sea is a little explored sector of the Barents Sea which currently is not open for petroleum activity. This thesis focuses on the processes and mechanisms controlling gas seepage activity in the Olga basin and Storbanken high. 2D seismic and bathymetric data has been correlated with water column acoustic data to identify gas bubbles in the water column and ...

Øya Vanna nordøst i Vest-Troms gneisregionen består av TTG-gneiser (2.8 Ga), 2.4 Ga mafiske intrusivganger, en overliggende metasedimentær enhet i sør kalt Vannagruppen intrudert av en dioritt (sill) datert til 2221 ± 3 Ma, og Skipsfjorddekket i nord, en allokton enhet skjøvet mot SØ. Studieområdet befinner seg sørøst på Vanna, i området Larstangen-Fakkekeila. Her opptrer metasedimentære bergarter ...

The Passo Feio Complex is considered as a part of the São Gabriel Terrane, located to the west of the Dom Feliciano Belt in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil), but shows numerous similarities with the easterly exposed Porongos Metamorphic Complex which is a part of the Schist Belt in that area. P-T phase equilibrium modelling of metamorphosed sedimentary rocks from the Passo Feio Complex was ...
