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. The effects of basal friction and basement configuration on deformation of fold-and-thrust belts: insights from analogue modeling

   University essay from Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Kai Xue; [2012]
   Keywords : basal configuration; basal friction; analogue modeling; fold-and-thrust belts;

   Abstract : This thesis discusses the effects of basal friction and basement configuration on the deformation of the fold-and-thrust belts in convergent zones. A series of analogue models were conducted with adjacent different basal configuration and frictional properties to observe and gain a better understanding of these basal effects and their interactions.
