1. 6. Ancient DNA in paleosols, SW Greenland : A tool for retrospective paleoenvironmental studies?

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Kimmo Kumpula; [2018]
   Keywords : Ancient DNA; paleosol; paleoenvironment; Greenland; Arctic;

   Abstract : Ancient DNA (aDNA) is a useful tool for retrospective paleoenvironmental studies. Paleosols formed in Arctic environments constitute a potential archive of aDNA from terrestrial organisms living in past environments, given that the cold and dry climate prevailing at high latitudes favors DNA preservation and hamper post-depositional mobility of deposited fragments.

3. 7. Stratigraphy, sedimentology and geophysical assessment of the early Silurian Halla and Klinteberg formations, Altajme core, Gotland, Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Christopher Artursson; [2018]
   Keywords : Gotland; gamma ray; stratigraphy; carbonate sedimentology; drill core; Altajme; Ala-Fjäle; Klinteberg Formation; geophysical survey; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The Altajme drillcore was recovered from near Buttle in central Gotland in 2015. The core was drilled in outcrop belt of the late Wenlock (Silurian) Klinteberg Formation as a result from an international drilling campaign between the Department of Geology at Lund University and Iowa University, USA.

4. 8. Carbonate sedimentology and carbon isotope stratigraphy of the Tallbacken-1 core, early Wenlock Slite Group, Gotland, Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Jan Radomski; [2018]
   Keywords : Silurian; Gotland; Wenlock; carbon isotope stratigraphy; Slite Group; Hangvar Formation; sea level; carbonate platform; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Den mer än 700 m mäktiga lagerföljden på Gotland är erosionsresterna av vidsträckta karbonatplattformar som bildades i den Baltiska bassängen under silurperioden. Detta arbete fokuserar på stratigrafin och bergarterna i borrkärnan Tallbacken-1 som togs upp vid Stora Vede av Sveriges geologiska undersökning år 2006. READ MORE

5. 9. The Sedimentological Distribution of Upper Brent, Oseberg field, North Sea

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Mandana Farvardini; [2017]
   Keywords : Sedimentology;

   Abstract : The Oseberg hydrocarbon field is located in the northern North Sea sedimentary basin (61-62° N) on the eastern flank of the Viking Graben and is bounded to the east by the Horda Platform and the Øygarden Fault Complex (ØFC). The field is covering up most parts of block 30/6 and 30/9 on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NOCS) but also minor parts of blocks 30/5, 30/8 and 30/12. READ MORE

6. 10. Cambrian stratigraphy and depositional dynamics based on the Tomten-1 drill core, Falbygden, Västergötland, Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Frans Lundberg; [2016]
   Keywords : biostratigraphy; Sweden; Västergötland; drill core; agnostoids; trilobites; δ13 excursion DICE ; Cambrian; carbon isotope stratigraphy; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The Tomten-1 drilling at Torbjörntorp in Västergötland, southern Sweden, penetrated 29.85 m of Cambrian Series 2 and 3, Furongian, and Lower and Middle Ordovician strata. The biostratigraphy, sedimentology and carbon isotope (δ[sup]13[/sup]C[sub]org[/sub]) stratigraphy of the core have been analysed. READ MORE
