  1. 1. Luminescence Dating of Submarine Canyons: Application to the Monterey Canyon, California

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Catharina Heerema; [2016]
    Keywords : Luminescence dating; single grains; Monterey canyon; submarine canyon; sand waves; turbidites; Gravitationsflöde; marin ravin; Monterey Canyon; sanddeponering; sandvågor;

    Abstract : Submarine canyons are major geomorphic features, transporting large quantities of sediments from land to the deep sea. These sediments contain nutrients, enabling life in the deep sea and potentially forming hydrocarbon reservoirs. READ MORE

  3. 2. Exploration of submarine fans along the Coffee Soil Fault in the Danish Central Graben

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Jakob Magnusson; [1999]
    Keywords : seismic; Early Cretaceous; Late Jurassic; Danish Central Graben; submarine fans; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : On the footwall side of the Coffee Soil Fault in the Danish Central Graben, five potential petroleum reservoir structures were distinguished on seismic images. The deposits were formed during the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous transition. READ MORE

  4. 3. The Brennvinsfjorden Group of southern Botniahalvøya, Nordaustlandet, Svalbard : structure, stratigraphy and depositional environment

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Johan Nilsson; [1997]
    Keywords : The Brennvinsfjorden Group; the Goosbukta Anticline; the Gottwaldhøgda Fault; the Kapp Hansteen Group; Botniahalvøya; Nordaustlandet; Svalbard; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Den sedimentära enheten Brennevinsfjorden Group på Botniahalvøya, nordvästra Nordaustlandet, underlagrar diskordant en vulkanisk enhet av Grenvillisk ålder (Kapp Hansteen Group). De studier av Brennevinsfjorden Group som presenteras i detta arbete påvisar en ny stratigrafi och en bättre geografisk placering och tolkning av strukturen under basalkonglomeratet som utgör gränsen mellan Kapp Hansteen Group och Brennevinsfjorden Group.

  5. 4. Sedimentary structures and facies of fine grained deep water carbonate turbidites in a Paleocene-Middle Eocene flysch complex, Monte Sporno, northern Apennines, Italy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Mikael Calner; [1996]
    Keywords : calcareous turbidites; flysch; Monte Sporno; Northern Apennines; calcite compensation depth; sedimentary structures; hemipelagic clays; Bouma sequence; basin plain; provenance; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The Monte Sporno flysch unit consists of regularly alternating calcareous turbidites and subordinate hemipelagic clays, deposited in a basin plain environment near, but above, the calcite compensation depth (CCD). Evidence for turbidity current emplacement includes sole markings, Bouma intervals and resedimented shallow-water microfossil species in a deep-water trace fossil assemblage (Nereites ichnofacies).

  6. 5. Structures and PT determination of the Caledonian metamorphism of the lower part of the Planetfjella Group in the area around Mosseldalen, northern Ny Friesland, Svalbard

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Magnus Friberg; [1994]
    Keywords : Mosseldalen; Planetfjella Group; metamorphism; Caledonides; geography; PT determination; structures; geology; Ny Friesland; Svalbard; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The archipelago of Svalbard is a key area for understanding the North Atlantic Caledonides. The pre-Devonian rocks of Svalbard are an assemblage of different terranes, probably juxtaposed by transpression during the Caledonidian orogenesis. Svalbard's Eastern Terrane consists of a thick (c.
