  1. 1. Carbon Capture and Storage : And the Possibilities in Sweden

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Risha Chowdhury; Sofie Malmberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Bio-Carbon Capture and Storage Bio-CCS ; Carbon Capture and Storage CCS ; Carbon Capture and Utilisation CCU ; Carbon Dioxide CO2 ; Climate Change; Climate Policy; Costs regarding Carbon Capture and Storage; Direct Air Capture DAC ; Geological Storage; Greenhouse Gas es GHG ; Policy regarding Carbon Capture and Storage; Bio-Carbon Capture and Storage Bio-CCS ; Carbon Capture and Storage CCS ; Carbon Capture and Utilisation CCU ; Koldioxid CO2 ; Klimatförändring; Klimatpolitik; Kostnad för Carbon Capture and Storage; Direct Air Capture DAC ; Geologisk lagring; Växthusgas er ; Reglering för Carbon Capture and Storage;

    Abstract : The Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, and Sweden has set a goal toreach net-zero emissions by 2045. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is one method that can reducecarbon dioxide emissions. READ MORE

  3. 2. Lejarfjället Garnet(?) Peridotite – Origin and Petrological Characterization of Symplectitic Aggregates in Ultramafic Rocks

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonik

    Author : Felicia Eriksson; [2022]
    Keywords : ultramafic; high-pressure metamorphism; peridotite; garnet breakdown; Scandinavian Caledonides; ultramafisk; högtrycks metamorfos; peridotit; granat; skandinaviska kaledoniderna;

    Abstract : Ultramafic rocks are abundant in the Earth’s mantle but rare on the surface. Since no in-situ samples from the mantle can be collected, mantle rocks provide knowledge of mechanisms operating in the mantle and large-scale processes that brought them up to the surface. READ MORE

  4. 3. The “ultramafic” Intrusion’s within the peridotite from Härbergsdalen : Petrological characterization of infiltration record within the lithospheric mantle

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonik

    Author : Per Volter; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The mantle constitutes ~80% of Earths volume, however, due to its location deep beneath Earth’s surface the mantle is inaccessible to study in situ. Despite this, we still have information about its composition thanks to seismic studies which haven proven the mantle to be in generally homogenous and dominated by a rock called peridotite.

  5. 4. Search for Preserved Methanogenic Organisms in Ophiolitic Rocks through Lipid Biomarker Analysis – Implications for Astrobiological Explorations

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Alexandra Zetterlind; [2020]
    Keywords : ophiolite; deep biosphere; archaea; methanogenesis; chemosynthesis; serpentinite-hosted ecosystems; lipid biomarkers; astrobiology; ofiolit; djupbiosfär; arkeér; metanogener; kemosyntes; serpentinit-drivna ekosystem; lipidbiomarkörer; astrobiologi;

    Abstract : Serpentinization is a metamorphic low-temperature geological process, involving a series of chemical reactions that hydrate ultramafic rocks into serpentines and other minerals such as magnetite and brucite. Moreover, the process produces heavily reducing and highly alkaline fluids together with molecular hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4), which have the capacity to support chemosynthetic microbial life.

  6. 5. Cr-spinels in the Franklinian Mobile Belt : a geochemical record of Paleozoic tectonics

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för geologiska vetenskaper

    Author : Malvina Forbes Halldén; [2019]
    Keywords : geology; geochemistry; spinel; Cr-spinel; chromite; SEM; scanning electron microscope; electron microprobe; EMP; electron probe microanalyzer; EPMA; electron micro probe analyzer; EMPA; petrogenetic indicator; microscopy; alteration; Franklinian Mobile Belt; Kulutingwak Formation; Clements Markham fold belt; Pearya; Paleozoic; suprasubduction zone; SSZ; island arc; IA; Arctic Canadian Archipelago; Ellesmere Island; Canada; 2017 Circum-Arctic Structural Events Expedition 19; Memorial University of Newfoundland; geologi; geokemi; spinell; Cr-spinell; kromit; SEM; svepeletronmikroskopi; elektronmikrosondanalys; EMP; EPMA; EMPA; petrogenetisk indikator; mikroskopi; Franklinian Mobile Belt; Kulutingwak-formationen; Clements Markham fold belt; Pearya; Paleozoikum; suprasubduktionszon; SSZ; öbåge; IA; Kanadas arktiska öar; Ellesmereön; Kanada; 2017 Circum-Arctic Structural Events Expedition 19; Memorial University of Newfoundland;

    Abstract : The chemical compositions of Cr-spinel extracted from mafic and ultramafic rocks collected on Ellesmere Island in the Arctic Canadian Archipelago were obtained through electron microprobe analyses. The extensively altered rocks are sampled from rock units in the Franklinian MobileBelt, which is representative of a Paleozoic tectonically active oceanic regime of which little is presently known.
