  1. 1. 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.

  2. 2. U-Pb age constraints on the host rocks of the Barsele Norra Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide deposit, northern Sweden

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

    Author : Maria Sandlund; [2021]
    Keywords : Geochronology; Skellefte district; Barsele; VMS; LA-ICP-MS; SEM;

    Abstract : The Barsele area is located in the "Gold Line", southwest of the volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) Skellefte district which hosts more than 85 known VMS-deposits where some are gold-bearing. The Barsele area consists of the Central, Avan and Skiråsen intrusion hosted gold deposits, the Norra gold-bearing VMS-deposit and the Risberget zone. READ MORE

  3. 3. Resolving temporal links between the Högberget granite and the Wigström tungsten skarn deposit in Bergslagen (Sweden) using trace elements and U-Pb LA-ICPMS on complex zircons

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Anders Plan; [2020]
    Keywords : Bergslagen; Wigström; Högberget; geochronology; geochemistry; U-Pb; REE; trace element; zircon; hydrothermal zircon; LA-ICPMS; SEM; skarn; tungsten; wolfram; scheelite; deposit; ore; critical raw material; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Combined U-Pb and REE trace element LA-ICPMS analyses were performed on zircons, from the scheelite-bearing Wigström skarn, associated micro-granitic dykes and the highly evolved parental Högberget (sensu stricto) granite. Combined systematic of zircon typology and microtextures, trace elements and isotopic chemistry suggest the presence of several diverse zircon types, spanning from early- to late- magmatic stage into a hydrothermal stage.

  4. 4. Geochronology of gneisses adjacent to the Mylonite Zone in southwestern Sweden: evidence of a tectonic window?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : James Davies; [2020]
    Keywords : Geochronology; Hallandian orogeny; Mylonite Zone; Sveconorwegian orogeny; U-Pb; Idefjorden terrane; Eastern Segment; B-Bulan; Brobacka; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The relationship between the Eastern Segment and Idefjorden terrane prior to the Sveconorwegian orogeny has long been debated. Evidence of a common history is minimal and localised; at the same time, the notion that the Sveconorwegian orogeny formed as a result of a collisional event is also disputed. READ MORE

  5. 5. Single-Grain Zircon U-Pb Dating and Magnetic Susceptibility of Polish Loess to Determine Late Quaternary Dust Provenance and Paleoclimate

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Alexandra Engström Johansson; [2018]
    Keywords : dust provenance; Polish loess; paleoclimate; single-grain zircon U-Pb dating; magnetic susceptibility; härkomstområden för atmosfäriskt stoft; polsk lössjord; paleoklimat; U-Pb datering av zirkoner; magnetisk susceptibilitet;

    Abstract : Windblown mineral dust has accumulated into thick loess layers across the European continent. Loess deposits are valuable paleoclimatic archives as they record climate change on centennial- to glacialinterglacial timescales. READ MORE
