Airborne electromagnetics (AEM) is a geophysical investigation method used to make resistivity models of the subsurface, for ground investigations related to various types of projects. It was originally developed as an ...

Several studies have been conducted since last 50 years to understand the crustal architecture of the passive margins. The conjugate passive margins along Indian Ocean are very less surveyed and studied due to geographical ...

This thesis is an investigation of currents in the outer Oslofjord using available tools. Current records and output from the NorKyst-800 model are examined and compared using statistical methods. Internal tidal waves are ...

On geological time scales, the global ocean circulation is controlled by changes in paleobathymetry, including opening and closure of strategic ocean gateways and formation of new ocean basins. In the Cenozoic time (65 - ...

The Horda Platform area, in the Norwegian North Sea, has a complex burial history, including rifting and fault block rotation followed by uplift end subsequent erosion. These processes have affected the elastic properties ...
