  1. 1. Characterization of Cu-mineralized carbonate veins in the Alta-Kvænangen Tectonic Window, Norway

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Ellen Svens; [2024]
    Keywords : Greenstone belt; IOCG; Svecokarelian orogeny; Alta-Kvænangen Tectonic Window; Bergmark anticline;

    Abstract : The Alta-Kvænangen Tectonic Window is part of a regional greenstone belt that formed around 2.3 Ga – 2.0 Ga. The Bergmark anticline in the area has gone through greenschist to amphibolite facies metamorphism and hosts Cu, Co and Au mineralizations in hydrothermal veins, albite felsite and chemical traps.

  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. 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.

    Keywords : Forsmark; deformation zones; Svecokarelian; Sveconorwegian; ductile-brittle transition; brittle deformation; mylonite; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co. (SKB) started a project in 2020 near Forsmark, Sweden with the aim to expand the deformation zone model to encompass the entire catchment area around the planned repository for spent nuclear fuel. READ MORE

  6. 5. Separate Calcination in Cement Clinker Production : A laboratory scale study on how an electrified separate calcination step affects the phase composition of cement clinker

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Amanda Vikström; [2021]
    Keywords : Cement; Cement clinker; Calcination; Separate calcination; Electrification; CO2 atmosphere; Product quality; Product characterization; XRD; HT-XRD; Rietveld refinement;

    Abstract : Cement production is responsible for around 7% of the global anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. More than half of these emissions are due to the unavoidable release of carbon dioxide upon thermal decomposition of the main raw material limestone. READ MORE
