  1. 1. 3D modelling and resistivity measurements for hydrogeological assessments in the northern part of Vombsänkan

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Farid Khorshidian; [2023]
    Keywords : Conceptual 3D modelling; Resistivity; Hydrogeology; Blue Transition; Vombsänkan; Vombverket; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The geology of Vombsänkan is characterized by a complex sequence of Quaternary deposits overlying the Paleozoic sedimentary bedrock. The area is 759 km2 and has recorded several ice advances followed by glacial retreats and ice melting. READ MORE

  3. 2. Implications of a rapidly thinning ice-margin for annual moraine formation at Gornergletscher, Switzerland

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Lukas Rettig; [2020]
    Keywords : Recessional moraines; Ice-marginal processes; Glacier retreat; Glacial geomorphology; Glacial sedimentology; Alpine glaciers; Swiss Alps; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This study examines genetic processes and climatological significance of annual moraine formation in the foreland of Gornergletscher, a large alpine-valley glacier located in the southern Swiss Alps. A particular focus is set on moraine ridges that have been forming between 2007 and 2019, a period when the glacier has been subject to accelerated retreat and pronounced frontal thinning. READ MORE

  4. 3. Diamonds in the Rough : Remote predictive mapping using multispectral satellite imagery for kimberlite exploration on northeast Banks Island, NT

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Anne Farineau; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This study demonstrates the use and limitations of Remote Predictive Mapping (RPM) as an aid to kimberlite exploration on northeast Banks Island, Northwest Territories, Canada. It focuses on the effectiveness of ASTER and Landsat 8 optical multi-spectral satellite imagery for discerning the spectral properties of different bedrock and surficial materials that outcrop or blanket the regional terrain.

  5. 4. A sedimentological and stratigraphical study of Weichselian sediments in the Tvärkroken gravel pit, Idre, west-central Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Johanna Anjar; [2008]
    Keywords : Dalarna; interstadial; glaciolacustrine; braided river; till; glacilakustrin; flätflod; morän; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : A detailed sedimentological study was made on six section walls in the Tvärkroken gravel pit, Idre, west-central Sweden. Based on sediment characteristics, three sedimentary units, units 1-3, were identified. The lowest unit, unit 1, was formed by deposition from sediment-loaded underflows into a stagnant basin.
