  1. 1. Petrography and Thermodynamic Modelling of Svecofennian Arsenic-bearing Metasupracrustal Rocks in the Arlanda Area, West-Central Fennoscandian Shield

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Klara Skoog; [2022]
    Keywords : Bergslagen; Svecokarelian orogeny; metamorphism; arsenic; optical microscopy; electron microprobe; thermodynamic modelling; Bergslagen; Svecokarelska orogenesen; metamorfos; arsenik; optisk mikroskopering; elektron mikrosond; termodynamisk modellering;

    Abstract : The Arlanda area is a construction intensive area facing problems with risk of leaching of arsenic (As) from the bedrock to surface- and groundwater. Construction projects in the area have had problems with high levels of As in the bedrock and the risk of leaching increases through processing of aggregates and blasting of the bedrock. READ MORE

  3. 2. A STATISTICAL APPROACH FOR IDENTIFICATION OF CHEMICAL GROUPINGS OF ELEMENTS IN SWEDISH ROCKS WITH SPECIAL FOCUS ON ARSENIC AND SULPHUR

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Erika Frank; [2021]
    Keywords : Bedrock; rock type; correlation; cluster analysis; multi-dimensional scaling; individual differences scaling; discriminant analysis;

    Abstract : Groundwater analyses have revealed high concentrations of the toxic element arsenic around Stockholm and Mälardalen, a problem that often is linked to high levels of arsenic in the bedrock and which could be escalated by the many construction projects in the same region. However, it is unknown what part of the bedrock is causing the contamination. READ MORE

  4. 3. Unraveling the Tectonic History of the Aurek Metagabbro within the Seve Nappe Complex, Scandinavian Caledonides

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sabine Rousku; [2021]
    Keywords : Scandinavian Caledonides; Seve Nappe Complex; Aurek metagabbro; Kebnekaise Mountains; Zircon U-Pb Geochronology; Thermodynamic modeling; Geochemistry; Skandinaviska Kaledoniderna; Seveskollan; Aurek metagabbro; Kebnekaisebergen; zirkon U-Pb geokronologi; Termodynamisk modellering; Geokemi;

    Abstract : The Scandinavian Caledonides form a mountain range comprising nappe stacks of numerous far-travelled thrust sheets. The thrust sheets consist of diverse lithologies representing pre- and synorogenic sedimentary and igneous rocks subsequently metamorphosed to various degrees, from the Late Neoproterozoic to Middle Devonian.

  5. 4. Kinetic interpretation of microstructures in the Gällivare area; implications for deformation phases and related metamorphic events.

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Linnéa Jansson Fagerlund; [2021]
    Keywords : Geology; Northern Sweden; Gällivare; Nautanen Deformation Zone; Fjällåsen Deformation Zone; Microstructures;

    Abstract : The goal of this study was to identify and describe different microstructures observed in samples from two major shear zones in the Gällivare area, namely the Nautanen Deformation Zone (NDZ), and the Fjällåsen deformation zone (FDZ). Thirteen samples were examined during this study. READ MORE

  6. 5. Inversion of SkyTEM Data Based on Geophysical Logging Results for Groundwater Exploration in Örebro, Sweden

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geovetenskap och miljöteknik

    Author : Andrée Kindlund; [2021]
    Keywords : SkyTEM; hydrogeophysics; geophysical logging; A priori; groundwater exploration;

    Abstract : Declining groundwater tables threatens several municipalities in Sweden which drinking water is collected from. To ensure a sound drinking water supply, the Geological Survey of Sweden has initiated a groundwater exploration plan. READ MORE
