1. Syn-Magmatic Deformation Structures in the Slaufrudalur Pluton, East Iceland
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Structures and deformation mechanisms of magmatic rocks are controlled by rheology. An increase in melt fraction can weaken a rock body and localises significant amount of strain. This interplay between rheology, melting and deformation in a magma reservoir, however, is not always clearly documented in literature. READ MORE

2. Lejarfjället Garnet(?) Peridotite – Origin and Petrological Characterization of Symplectitic Aggregates in Ultramafic Rocks
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonikAbstract : 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.

3. Structural investigation of ductile deformations across the Frontal Wedge south of Lake Vättern, southern Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : 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

4. Three-dimensional modelling of the Källfallsgruvan iron oxide deposit, Riddarhyttan ore field, Bergslagen, Sweden: Integrating existing and new data to aid understanding of structural controls and mineral exploration
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : The Bergslagen ore province, located in the Fennoscandian shield in the south-central part of Sweden hosts several metallic mineral deposits, one of them being the Källfallsgruvan iron-oxide deposit in the Riddarhyttan ore field, situated in a high-strain shear belt denoted as the West Bergslagen Boundary Zone (WBBZ). An accurate 3D geological model of the Källfallsgruvan iron-oxide deposit has been generated to aid understanding of the ore body geometries and calculating volume and tonnage. READ MORE

5. The Structural Architecture of the Barsele Area, Sweden : Characterising the deformation events and mineralisation
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : Located at an important intersect between orogenic Au deposits in Sweden’s Gold Line and volcanicmassive sulphide (VMS) deposits in the Skellefte Mining District, the Barsele area is of high interest.Currently, the Barsele deposit consists of the Norra VMS deposit and 3 intrusive-hosted orogenic Audeposits: Avan, Central, and Skiråsen which are hosted in a 1876 ± 10 Ma early orogenic granodiorite(Thomas, et al.
