  1. 1. 2D Reflection Seismic Imaging of Rødby Structures, Denmark: Geological Conditions for CO2 Sequestration

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Geofysik

    Author : Mussie Habtemariam Zeru; [2024]
    Keywords : Reflection seismic; Geologic carbon storage; Sandstone; Structures; Rødby;

    Abstract : Amidst the global climate action movement, geologic carbon storage (GCS) has emerged as a pivotal strategy for mitigating atmospheric CO2 levels, offering environmental and economic opportunities. This thesis targets the Bunter Sandstone Formation within the Rødby structures in Denmark, focusing on seismic Profile 1.

  2. 2. Petrography of impactites from the Dellen impact structure, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Robert Mroczek; [2023]
    Keywords : Dellen; Impact; structure; magnetite; apatite; shock waves; shock-metamorphic; features; Impactite; petrography; scanning electron microscope; SEM; geology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Identification and characterization of shock-metamorphic features in hypervelocity impact craters is important for our understanding of how shock waves interact with geologic materials and how impact craters form, which in turn is essential to our understanding of what role impact cratering played in the development of our solar system. Of particular interest are accessory minerals like apatite, which contains various volatiles that can affect the atmosphere of a body, or magnetite whose magnetic properties constitute a remote sensing indicator which allows us to study and understand the internal structures of distant bodies.

Study of Production Drifts Stability and Assessment of Reinforcement Requirements at LKAB Konsuln Test-Mine Levels 436 and 486 Using Geologic Structures Data, and Modelling Software – Dips and Unwedge:  a Part of dp1 Project (Mine Layout and Technology) of the Sustainable Underground Mining (Sum) Project

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Oludare Joseph Olufe; [2021]
    Keywords : Drift stability analysis; underground excavation reinforcement; underground mining stability assessment; geologic structures; wedges modelling; rock mechanical analysis; Unwedge program; Dips program;

    Abstract : Study of Production Drifts Stability and Assessment of Reinforcement Requirements at LKAB Konsuln Test-Mine Levels 436 and 486 Using Geologic Structures Data, and Modelling Software - Dips and Unwedge:  a Part of dp1 Project (Mine Layout and Technology) of the Sustainable Underground Mining (Sum) Project Oludare Joseph Olufe Global population has been on exponential increase over the past half century. The population explosion is driving massive urbanization and infrastructure developments across the globe, which result in huge demand for metals, especially steel. READ MORE

  4. 4. Analysis of Multicomponent Data to Study Esker Structures, Turku-Finland

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Geofysik

    Author : Julia Fridlund; [2017]
    Keywords : Finland; esker structures; reflection seismology; multicomponent data; S-wave; Finland; rullstensås; reflexionsseismik; flerkomponentdata; S-vågor;

    Abstract : Eskers are long winding ridges that originate from gravel that has travelled in meltwater streams in glaciers. At the study site, Virttaankangas plane in southwest Finland, there are esker structures covered by sediments. One reason why it is important to study eskers is because they are used for purifying drinking water. READ MORE

  5. 5. 3D geologic subsurface modeling within the Mackenzie Plain, Northwest Territories, Canada

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Nadine Raska; [2017]
    Keywords : geology; 3D modeling; geography; geographic information systems; horizons; stratigraphic modeling; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Three-dimensional (3D) models are widely used within the geosciences to provide scientists with conceptual and quantitative models of the earth’s subsurface. As a result, 3D geologic modelling is a growing field, such that scientific research often cannot keep up with technical advancements. READ MORE
