1. Numerical modelling of deformation within accretionary prisms
University essay from Institutionen för informationsteknologiAbstract : A two dimensional continuous numerical model based on Discrete Element Method is used to investigate the behaviour of accretionary wedges with different basal frictions. The models are based on elastic-plastic, brittle material and computational granular dynamics, and several characteristics of the influence of the basal friction are analysed. READ MORE

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 geovetenskaperAbstract : 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.

3. An architectural element analysis of a large-scale thrust complex, Kanin Peninsula, NW Russia : interaction between the Barents and Kara Sea ice sheets
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : Den Eurasiska shelfen var under Weichsel istiden täckt av inlandsisar centrerade i Barents och Kara Havet. Kanin Halvön i nordvästra Ryssland upptar en nyckelposition för att registrera de shelfbaserade isarnas passage över till fastlandet. READ MORE
