A high-resolution sedimentary record from ODP Leg 151 Hole 907A has been investigated with sedimentological and geochemical methods to study the paleoenvironmental evolution of the Iceland Sea over a 1-Myr time interval in the Late Miocene. Climate deterioration characterizes the Neogene period, culminating in a transition to bipolar glaciations in the Late Pliocene (Thiede and Myhre, 1996). Ice ...

Two basis sets-a large and a small one-are associated with each nucleus of the system. Each atom has its own separate one-electron basis comprising the large basis set of the atom in question and the small basis sets for the partner atoms in the complex. The perturbed atoms in molecules and solids model is at core of the approach since it allows for the definition of perturbed atoms in a system. It ...

This letter discusses cross-correlation features de- rived from near-coincident RADARSAT-2 quad-polarimetric and RISAT-1 hybrid-polarity (HP) measurements collected during the NOrwegian Radar oil Spill Experiment in 2015 (NORSE2015). We show that the imaginary part of the cross-correlation between RH and RV is an HP parallel to the real part of the cross-correlation between HH and VV earlier ...

A summary of recent synthesis approaches to 3,4-dihydroquinoxaline-2-ones is discussed herein along with highlights of biological activity. The synthetic approaches include access to enantiopure heterocycles from chiral pool amino acids via coupling/cyclization, Michael addition/cyclization cascades, 3,3-disubstituted systems from multicomponent couplings, Bargellini reaction or photochemical ...

The discovery of IP25 as a qualitative biomarker proxy for Arctic sea ice and subsequent introduction of the so-called PIP25 index for semi-quantitative descriptions of sea ice conditions has significantly advanced our understanding of long-term paleo Arctic sea ice conditions over the past decade. We investigated the potential for classification tree1 (CT) models to provide a further approach ...

Dette studiet har fokus på analyse og korrelasjon av post-kaledonske riftstrukturer i nordre Nordland og Sør-Troms, hvor målet er å sammenligne antatte paleozoiske og mesozoiske sprø forkastninger på land med lignende strukturer på havbunnen og i fjorder og sund. Ved bruk av høyoppløselige digitale verktøy fra land (kartverket, norgeibilder, norgei3d) og på havbunnen (mareano), tar denne masteroppgaven ...

Three types of carbon nanotubes(CNT) have been investigated regarding their suitability as spectrally selective solar thermal absorbers.The CNT coatings were electrophoretically deposited on aluminum substrates using kinetically stable CNT aqueous suspensions, of which two CNT aqueous suspensions (N-CNT and P-CNT suspensions) were prepared as part of this study and the third one (T-CNT suspension) ...

The overall aim of this thesis is to better understand the development and emplacement of diapiric mound features in the Vema Dome area, located in the Vøring basin on the mid-Norwegian continental margin. Two 3D seismic surveys, ST9603R99 and BPN9601, were interpreted in this study, in order to investigate the diapiric mounds and their relationship with an underlying fluid plumbing system including ...

The SW Barents Sea is a large hydrocarbon-prone epicontinental Sea comprised of a complex mosaic of deep sedimentary basins and structural highs. Uplift and erosion have been affecting the area on a large scale since the Cenozoic and have had a major impact on the petroleum systems in the area, resulting in spillage of hydrocarbons. The origin of the hydrocarbons are from deep source rocks, which ...

Detailed facies analysis of the Early Cretaceous Helvetiafjellet Formation (Barremian-Aptian) indicates deposition during a long-term transgression. The formation has received a lot of attention in previous published papers, particularly the lowermost Festningen Member has been detailed in numerous papers. However, the uppermost Glitrefjellet Member is typically poorly exposed in outcrops, and ...
