  1. 1. Structural investigation of ductile deformations across the Frontal Wedge south of Lake Vättern, southern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Ellinor Halvarsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Frontal wedge; deformation zone; Sveconorwegian orogeny; Sveconorwegian Orogen; Eastern Segment; shear-sense indicators; Protogine zone; structural geology; bedrock geology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Deformationszonen kallad ”Frontal wedge” är ett system av N-S branta och vertikala deformationszoner i gränsen mellan Svekonorvegiska och Sekorareliska provincen, i södra Sverige. Ursprung av dessa strukturer är inte fullt förstått och under de senaste årtiondena har endast ett fåtal undersökningar gjorts på dessa deformationszoner. READ MORE

  3. 2. Metamorphic microtextures and mineral assemblages in orthogneisses in NW Skåne – how do they correlate with technical properties?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Maria Eleni Taxopoulou; [2020]
    Keywords : granitic gneiss; Eastern Segment; Söderåsen; rock quality; quantitative analyses; grain size; aspect ratio; circularity; mineralogy; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Glacifluviala avlagringar har varit de vanligaste källorna för byggmaterial i Sverige under de senaste decennierna. De är dock ändliga resurser som måste bevaras eftersom de också fungerar som akvifärer. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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. 4. Metamorphic paragenesis and P-T conditions in garnet amphibolite from the Median Segment of the Idefjorden Terrane, Lilla Edet

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Anna Sartell; [2019]
    Keywords : P-T conditions; Sveconorwegian orogeny; Idefjorden Terrane; Median Segment; Göta Älv Shear Zone; garnet amphibolite; upper amphibolite facies; partial melting; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The Sveconorwegian orogeny (c. 1 Ga) lead to the recrystallization of large parts of southwestern Sweden, with widespread metamorphism as well as local migmatization. READ MORE

  6. 5. Garnet amphibolite in the internal Eastern Segment, Sveconorwegian Province : monitors of metamorphic recrystallization at high temperature and pressure during Sveconorwegian orogeny

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Tove Hernnäs; [2018]
    Keywords : Sveconorwegian; metamorphic petrology; mapping; coronitic metagabbro; microtextures; Eastern Segment; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The analyzed area exposes a deep underthrusting lower plate of the Sveconorwegian orogen and facilitates studying of an elsewhere hidden portion of the Earth. Petrographic and structural studies of different metamorphic rock types within the southern Eastern Segment, Sveconorwegian Province, Sweden, were carried out to better understand the regional metamorphism and deformation history.
