  1. 1. Methods and Approaches for Biogenicity Determination in Geological Samples - Implications for Extraterrestrial Search for Life

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Alexandra Zetterlind; [2018]
    Keywords : Biogenicity; microscopy; fossilized microorganisms; astrobiology; Biogenecitet; mikroskopering; fossiliserade mikroorganismer; astrobiologi;

    Abstract : For a better understanding of how to search for an extraterrestrial life, scientists study hidden biospheres on Earth. The subseafloor crust is recognized as a vast microbial habitat and it is hypothesized that extremophilic microorganisms, occurring there, can be the first living organisms on Earth. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Origin of the Gran Canarian Xenoliths

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Beatrice Jägerup; [2016]
    Keywords : Gran Canaria; Xenoliths; Oxygen Isotope Value; Thin Section Analysis; EPM;

    Abstract : Xenoliths are pieces from the surrounding bedrock, brought to the surface of the earth by host magma. On Gran Canaria, the largest island in the Canary Islands archipelago, strange xenoliths have been found. They are light in color, porous and very different from the basaltic magma carrying them.

  4. 3. Magma Storage of the Alkaline Tejeda Cone Sheet Swarm, Gran Canaria, Spain

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Max Jensen; [2016]
    Keywords : Gran Canaria; Tejeda cone sheet swarm; syenite; magma storage; thermobarometry; clinopyoxene; Gran Canaria; Tejeda inverterade kon-intrusioner; syenit; magma förvar; termobarometri; klinopyroxen;

    Abstract : Volcanoes with alkaline differentiated magma belong to the more explosive and destructive types, but knowledge about these systems is often limited. Unravelling the position and conditions in the source magma chamber systems that feed volcanism at the surface is vital to understand these systems better. READ MORE

  5. 4. 3D Modelling of the Tejeda Cone-Sheet Swarm, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Lisa K. Samrock; [2015]
    Keywords : Cone-sheet swarm; 3D modelling; Tejeda caldera; Gran Canaria; magma chamber reconstruction; sheet intrusions; Inverterade koniska intrusionssvärmar; 3D-modellering; Tejeda kaldera; Gran Canaria; rekonstruktion av magmakammare; magmatiska intrusioner;

    Abstract : Cone-sheet swarms are magmatic sheet intrusions and part of volcanic plumbing systems and are pathways for magma to the Earth’s surface, where they feed volcanic eruptions. The analysis of cone-sheets provides information on the geometry of the magmatic plumbing system of a volcano and allows to understand processes and dynamics of magma transport. READ MORE

  6. 5. The Role of Gay Spaces for a Gay Destination : Gay Tourism in Gran Canaria

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Turismvetenskap

    Author : Roberta Fimiani; [2014]
