  1. 1. Petrography and Thermodynamic Modelling of Svecofennian Arsenic-bearing Metasupracrustal Rocks in the Arlanda Area, West-Central Fennoscandian Shield

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Klara Skoog; [2022]
    Keywords : Bergslagen; Svecokarelian orogeny; metamorphism; arsenic; optical microscopy; electron microprobe; thermodynamic modelling; Bergslagen; Svecokarelska orogenesen; metamorfos; arsenik; optisk mikroskopering; elektron mikrosond; termodynamisk modellering;

    Abstract : The Arlanda area is a construction intensive area facing problems with risk of leaching of arsenic (As) from the bedrock to surface- and groundwater. Construction projects in the area have had problems with high levels of As in the bedrock and the risk of leaching increases through processing of aggregates and blasting of the bedrock. READ MORE

  3. 2. Characterization of mineral parageneses and metamorphic textures in eclogite- to high-pressure granulite-facies marble at Allmenningen, Roan, western Norway

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Stylianos Karastergios; [2020]
    Keywords : Western Gneiss Region; Vestranden; Roan; Caledonides; marble; calc-silicate; metabasic; petrography; SEM-EDS; mineral chemistry; mineral equilibrium; P–T estimate; devolatilization; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The Roan peninsula in western Norway, Vestranden, is known for exposing one of the deepest parts of the Scandinavian Caledonian orogen, similar to the Western Gneiss Region. Throughout the Roan area, eclogites and high-pressure granulite- and amphibolite-facies gneisses occur, associated with supracrustal rocks including marbles, calc-silicate rocks and amphibolites.

  4. 3. Studying magmatic systems through chemical analyses on clinopyroxene - a look into the history of the Teno ankaramites, Tenerife

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Vendela Haag; [2020]
    Keywords : clinopyroxene; sector zoning; concentric zoning; mass wasting; magma recharge; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Clinopyroxenes have the ability to crystallize over and respond to a large range of temperatures, pressures and chemical compositions, and thus, they are ideal for studies regarding the history of magmatic systems. In this thesis, the chemistry and zoning of four clinopyroxene crystals from an ankaramite sample from the Teno massif, Tenerife, were analysed. READ MORE

  5. 4. Qualitative and quantitative petrography of meta-mafic rocks at Ölme, in the Eastern Segment of the Sveconorwegian orogen

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för geologiska vetenskaper

    Author : Diana Carlsson; [2015]
    Keywords : metamorphism; high pressure; amphibolite; granulite; gabbro; metagabbro; garnet-amphibolite; complex coronitic textures; symplectite; Eastern Segment; Transitional section;

    Abstract : Meta-mafic intrusions with an intrusion age of 1.6-0.9 Ga are found along a north-south trend in theTransitional section of the Eastern Segment in Sweden. These intrusions are garnet-bearing and thus anexception to other meta-mafic intrusions found in Sweden. READ MORE

  6. 5. Pressure Temperature Conditions of the Otrøy Opmhacite-Garnet Gneiss, Western Gneiss Region, Skandinavian Caledonides

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Johanna Holmberg; [2015]
    Keywords : Western Gneiss Region; Otrøy; gneiss; ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism; Western Gneiss Region; Otrøy; gnejs; ultrahögtrycksmetamorfos;

    Abstract : Garnet-omphacite gneisses from the island of Otrøy situated in Western Gneiss Region (WGR), Norway, Scandinavian Caledonides, were examined within this study. The WGR is one of the planets most studied ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) terranes. The studied gneisses are hosts for UHP garnet peridotites and eclogites. READ MORE
