  1. 1. Stratigraphy and palaeoenvironment of the early Jurassic volcaniclastic strata at Djupadalsmölla, central Skåne, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Per Wahlquist; [2023]
    Keywords : volcaniclastic; Djupadalsmölla; CSVP; palynomorphs; early Jurassic; late Pliensbachian; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : From the almost 200 volcanic outcrops in the Central Skåne Volcanic Province (CSVP), only three are of volcaniclastic material. These volcanoclastics, and the transition to the underlying crystalline basement, have been investigated for the first time in a drill core (KBH2) from Djupadalsmölla in order to understand the stra-tigraphy, depositional process, age of deposition, and depositional environment.

  3. 2. Petrography and Mineral Chemistry of the Sälskär Breccia (Alnö Alkaline Complex, Central Sweden)

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Vincent Gustafsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Alnö alkaline complex; diatreme; melilitite; pelletal lapilli; volcanic breccia; Alnö alkalina område; diatrem; melilitit; pelletal lapilli; vulkanisk breccia;

    Abstract : Primitive magmas can provide important details about the mantle from which they are derived. In this thesis, petrographic observations and new mineral chemistry analyses of the Sälskär breccia from the Alnö alkaline complex, central Sweden, are reported. READ MORE

  4. 3. Magma Mixing and ReplenishmentBeneath Laurens Peninsula, Heard Island

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Ransom Telson; [2022]
    Keywords : Heard Island; Laurens Peninsula; crystal size distribution; magma replenishment; Heard Island; Laurens halvön; kristallstorleksfördelning; magmablandning; påfyllning;

    Abstract : Heard Island is a remote Australian territory which lies in the South-middle sector of the Indian Ocean.The island lies in the central province of the Kerguelen Plateau. On the north-western face of the islandlies the Laurens Peninsula, where modern volcanism has been periodic since approximately 10 ka, butno eruption has been recorded. READ MORE

  5. 4. Record of the end-Triassic mass extinction in shallow marine carbonates: the Lorüns section (Austria)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Linus Brakebusch; [2022]
    Keywords : sedimentology; geochemistry; ooids; oolites; oncoids; oncolites; Triassic; Jurassic; Rhaetian; Hettangian; ocean acidification; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The end-Triassic mass extinction (ETE) was one of the five big mass extinctions of the Phanerozoic and occurred ~201 Ma ago. Research agrees that the main triggering factor for the ETE was the eruptions of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Volcanic Province (CAMP), linked to the break-up of the supercontinent Pangaea.

  6. 5. Mercury in Fossil Leaves as a Proxy for Tracking Large Igneous Province Volcanism

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Johan Näslund; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : During some mass extinctions, usually minor, world oceans also underwent anoxic to euxinic conditions, events called Oceanic anoxic events (OAEs). Such an event unfolded during the Toarcian (∼183 Ma), called the T-OAE which is suggested to have been caused by Karoo-Ferrar Large Igneous Province (LIP) volcanism. READ MORE
