This thesis looks into features of the volume flux in the narrow Drøbak strait, and water level changes in the inner Oslofjord. Earlier measurements suggest that the volum flux in the east course of the strait, calculated ...

Hammerfestbassenget ligger i bassengprovinsen sør i det vestlige Barentshavet og er et sammensatt sedimentærbasseng, 70 km bredt og 150 km langt, som utviklet seg fra sen jura til tidlig kritt. Prøvesettet i denne ...

The aim of the present study has been to gather and handle data from a sandstone outcrop as an analogue for a hypothetical fluvial sandstone reservoir. Reservoirs generally have a limited set of data and number of data ...

I denne oppgaven brukes digital fotogrammetri til å lage terrengmodeller over Fridtjovbreen på Svalbard. Breen er dekket av flybilder over et tidsspenn fra 1936 til 1990. Lite er kjent av den indre geometrien i kameraet ...

The situation in the Middle East has over the last centuries received much attention from the international community. There is a long history of disputes over natural resources like oil and land in the Middle East, and ...

Altogether 163 observations of the Sechi disk depth, collected from April to October in the Nordic Seas, are presented together with salinities, other environmental parameters and positions. The Sechi disk depth ranges ...

Since its development in 1974 the Q-system for classifying rock masses has readily been used for dimensioning support measures in underground excavations in Norway and internationally. The Q-system, as it was originally ...

The Caledonian Orogen in East Greenland comprises an autochthonous basement complex overlain by a Late Proterozoic to Early Proterozoic cover sequence with a regionally extensive thrust sheet complex on top. The thrust ...

English abstract This thesis was written on the purpose of identifying and characterising a hydrothermal vent complex, associated with sill complexes at lower stratigraphic levels. The studied hydrothermal vent complex, ...

Fronten av fire tidevannsbreer utgjør kalvingsbukta innerst i Van Keulenfjorden, en 43 km lang nordvest-sydøst orientert fjord sydvest på Spitsbergen. Zawadskibreen, Nathorstbreen, Liestølbreen og Doktorbreen går sammen ...

I dette hovedfagsarbeidet gir en stratigrafisk oversikt og faciestolkning av Melke- og Spekkformasjonen fra brønn 6507/7-5, basert på foraminiferanalyser kombinert med data fra organisk geokjemi, for å belyse avsetningsmiljøet ...

A re-description and a re-classification is made for the plesiosaur specimen PMO A 27745 previously identified in 1962 as Tricleidus svalbardensis Persson. In all probability the fossil is from the Slottsmøya Member of ...

Store deler av Svalbard var i tidsrommet sen trias mellom jura en grunn shelf med kondensert sedimentasjon. Knorringfjellformasjonen representerer avsetningene fra denne perioden i sentrale deler av Spitsbergen. Vekslende ...

Abstract This thesis is written as a part of the Cand. Scient. degree at the Institute for Geosciences at the University of Oslo. Traditionally, age determinations of late Cretaceous chalks in the Central Graben in the ...

The 40 km diameter Mjølnir Crater was formed 142 ± 2.6 Ma (Volgian-Ryazanian boundary) by the impact of a 1.6 km diameter asteroid into the 350-400 m deep paleo-Barents Sea. The structure is buried and well preserved in ...

The Imsdalen Submarine Fan Complex is a gravel and coarse sand dominated turbidite fan system. The fan complex was deposited in the Neoproterozoic Hedmark rift basin close to a basin margin bordered by the Imsdalen Fault. ...

Orographically enhanced winds near the coast of Norway were investigated by changing the height of the orography. Two cases were chosen, one for Stad (Sta97) and one for Jæren (Jæ96), both being winter situations with ...

The spring flood is a multivariate event that can be characterized by the floodcharacteristics peak discharge, duration and volume. Traditionally these flood characteristics have been modelled separately, but by modelling ...

An attempt was made to identify the degree and main control of early diagenesis. It was evident that the more porous, channel sandstone units provided a better pathway for fluidflow and were thus subject to a greater degree ...

The Early Cretaceous, Barremian – Aptian Helvetiafjellet Formation is a well exposed paralic succession deposited at ramp-type shelf of the Borealic sea in the Svalbard region. The Ullaberget section in the Van Keulenfjorden ...

The use of petroleum inclusions in petroleum and reservoir geology is a relative new tool utilized to get a better understanding of petroleum generation and migration, paleo-fluid distribution in traps, and the organic ...

To learn more about the fluids that were present in the Canary Islands oceanic crust during the magmatism, fluid inclusions in gabbroic xenoliths from Lanzarote and La Palma have been studied. The fluids were originally ...

Abstract This work focuses on the two towns most exposed for flooding in Norway: Lillestrøm which lies alongside Lake Øyeren, and Hamar which is situated near Norway’s largest lake, Mjøsa. The main objective of this work ...

Oppgaven omhandler klassifikasjon av terrengparametere, såkalt relieffklassifikasjon, for automatisk landformkartlegging. Som bakgrunn for dette ligger antagelsen om at det eksisterer en sammenheng mellom overflateprosess ...
