This PhD aims primarily to assess the long-term sealing capabilities of shaly seal rock units overlying potential adequate CO2 storage reservoirs. The motivation for the project has been that in order to reduce CO2 emissions ...

In plate tectonics scientists study the present and past motions of the lithospheric plates over the Earth’s surface. The reconstruction of the location and orientation of the continents and oceans in deep time is referred ...

Impact cratering is a fundamental process in the Solar System, and on solid planetary bodies like Mars and the Moon, impact cratering may be the most prominent landforming process. On the Earth several processes compete ...

Quick clay is a known hazard in formerly-glaciated coastal areas in e.g., Scandinavia and Canada, and hence significant efforts are being taken to map their occurrence and extent. Quick-clay landslide prone areas are usually ...

The Ritland structure is the remnants of a 2.7 km diameter, 350 m deep, Early to Middle Cambrian marine impact crater, located in Hjelmeland, western Norway. The impact origin of this structure was proposed in 2001 based ...

Microscopic plant remains (spores and pollen) allow us to trace vegetation and detect environmental, especially climatic changes from deep time in the geological past. The Late Triassic (237-201 Ma) period is marked by an ...

Polar lows are important for society because of the sometimes extreme and potentially destructive weather that accompanies them. They appear most frequently at high latitudes on the northern hemisphere, especially over the ...

The recession curve provides important information about the low flow behaviour of rivers, and tells in a general way about the natural water storages feeding the stream. This work has, however, found a high time variability ...
