Seepage and slope stability issues concerning infiltration in unsaturated slopes are investigated and presented. 2-D finite element analyses are used to study the effects of the different hydraulic characteristics of a ...

Oppgavens målsetting er å analysere den relative påvirkning naturressursene hadde for hvordan Kongo-krigen oppstod og utviklet seg. Den Demokratiske Republikken Kongo (DRK) er et av verdens mest naturressurs rike land, men ...

Numerical modelling of GPR wave propagation is becoming more and more important. The ability to build complex models to mirror complex subsurface structures can improve our understanding of how electromagnetic waves are ...

En varslingsmodell har blitt utarbeidet for Sætreskardfjellet ved RV 15, Strynefjellsveien. Feltarbeid ble gjennomført vinteren 2002/03 der det ble logget snøtemperatur og gravd snøprofiler i ulike eksposisjoner og ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

From May 21-27, 1999, a wide-angle seismic experiment was carried out in the Skagerrak Graben. The experiment was a combined effort of the department of Geology, University of Oslo and Geomar, Kiel (as partners in the ...
