Abstract Cenozoic sedimentary successions along the passive continental margins of the Atlantic Ocean are of central importance in petroleum exploration. The aim of the present study has been to improve the understanding ...

Sammendrag Interessen for landskapets ressurser er økende både nasjonalt og internasjonalt. Dette kommer til uttrykk i den europeiske landskapskonvensjonen, en konvensjon Norge var et av de første landene til å signere ...

Recent analysis of water samples from Gardermoen Aquifer, the largest unconfined groundwater reservoir in Norway, revealed increasing trend of calcium and magnesium concentrations. The international Oslo Airport, situated ...

Deep groundwaters are normally characterized by long residence times in the aquifer and by being well evolved geochemically. At Gardermoen the estimated average groundwater residence time is in the range of 20-30 years. ...

The study area of this work belongs to continental margin offshore Angola. Despite the large amount of data acquired, the geometries of subsalt sedimentary layers and lower crustal structure offshore Angola remain much ...

In sedimentary basins sills have a tendency to become emplaced in litholgies of lower mechanical competence, like shales, which can possess source rock qualities. In this study has the thermal effects of thick sills on ...

Gjennom all tid har menneskene prøvd å få vite så mye om Mars som mulig. Gjennom århundrene har forskerne alltid brukt den mest avanserte teknologien i sin tid. Før Galileo Galilei kunne vi bare observere med det bare øyet, ...

Abstract: Accurate vegetation mapping is a crucial tool in the decision making process for the proper management of outfield areas. This thesis assesses the use of Landsat TM and ETM+ data for mapping the grazing quality ...

Abstract Glaciers are key indicators for climate change. Mass balance studies form the important link between advances and retreats of glaciers to changes in climate. Mass balance studies were performed in the balance year ...

An infrared heating lamp has been used as the driving force in laboratory experiments simulating the thermohaline circulation of the world ocean. The radiative energy from the lamp absorbed at different depths in the ...

Abstract Stabilizing mercury is still a major challenge throughout the world and no consensus has been reached on the safe disposal of mercy until now. Several methods have been suggested on how to stabilize mercury ...

Abstract The Lillehammer Submarine Fan Complex is a mixed mud/sand rich turbidite fan system. The fan complex was deposited in the Neoproterozoic Hedmark rift basin from west towards east extending at least 50 km from the ...

Oppgavens problemstilling er å gjøre en klassifisering av resente ferskvannsdeltaer på bakgrunn av planform (geomorfologi) sett fra kart og flybilder. Klassifikasjonens anvendelighet testes på norske ferskvannsdeltaer. ...

Abstract Supercooled cloud droplets combined with strong wind, can produce heavy ice accretions on unheated structures. It is called ”in-cloud atmospheric icing”, and is a well known problem at high elevations in wintertime. ...

The South Atlantic rift system developed during the Mesozoic breakup of Africa and South America. These continental masses belonged to the Gondwana Palaeozoic super-continent. Rifting started in the south, and propagated ...

I denne oppgaven brukes ArcGIS, ArcSDE og Oracle Spatial for å implementere et distribuert system for lagring av geografisk data ved Universitetet i Oslo. Den geografiske informasjonen er lagret i såkalt SOSIformat. Den ...

An intense extratropical storm, named Erwin/Gudrun, over the North Atlantic during winter 2005 is investigated to determine atmospheric factors contributing to its development. WRF is the numerical model which has been ...

There have been many opinions on the definition of solifluction since the expression was first used by J. G. Andersson in 1906. The original definition was “slow flowing from higher to lower ground of masses of waste ...

The Barents Sea has experienced several different tectonic phases where three major post-Caledonian rifting periods can be identified, namely Late Devonian Carboniferous, Middle Jurassic Early Cretaceous, and Early Tertiary. ...

Well log derived data and geotechnical core measurement results have been compared.

This study focuses on the Late Cenozoic development of the Mid-Norwegian continental margin, with emphasis on seismic sequence patterns and relative differential tectonic movements. Seismic stratigraphic framework has been ...

Summary Two catastrophic and destructive landslides happened as a consequence of a major earthquake on the midnight of June 20, 1990. Their morphology and dynamic analysis are scope of the present study. The study area ...

The aim of this study is to achieve a better understanding of the deep basin and crustal configuration of the transition zone between the Møre and Vøring margins. The area selected is based on the distribution of a set of ...

A method for assimilating remotely sensed snow covered area (SCA) into the snow subroutine of a grid distributed precipitation-runoff model (PRM) is presented. The PRM is assumed to simulate the snow state in each grid ...
