1. Lejarfjället Garnet(?) Peridotite – Origin and Petrological Characterization of Symplectitic Aggregates in Ultramafic Rocks
Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonikSammanfattning : Ultramafic rocks are abundant in the Earth’s mantle but rare on the surface. Since no in-situ samples from the mantle can be collected, mantle rocks provide knowledge of mechanisms operating in the mantle and large-scale processes that brought them up to the surface. LÄS MER
2. Integration of geology with geophysics : Case studies from Svalbard
Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikSammanfattning : This is a study where new and old geophysical data together with information found in literature has been integrated to get a better understanding of the geological evolution of Svalbard. The purpose of the study is to acquire and integrate different geophysical data over the Central Spitsbergen Basin (CSB) and across the Billefjorden Fault Zone (BFZ). LÄS MER
3. Unraveling the Tectonic History of the Aurek Metagabbro within the Seve Nappe Complex, Scandinavian Caledonides
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : The Scandinavian Caledonides form a mountain range comprising nappe stacks of numerous far-travelled thrust sheets. The thrust sheets consist of diverse lithologies representing pre- and synorogenic sedimentary and igneous rocks subsequently metamorphosed to various degrees, from the Late Neoproterozoic to Middle Devonian.

4. Geobiological Impacts of PalaeozoicLand Plant Evolution
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/PaleobiologiSammanfattning : For two centuries, questions about the origin of terrestrial plants and their impacts on the Earth systemhave occupied palaeobotanists. This essay attempts to synthesise the state of research to date, and outlineareas where major questions remain. LÄS MER
5. Cr-spinels in the Franklinian Mobile Belt : a geochemical record of Paleozoic tectonics
Kandidat-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för geologiska vetenskaperSammanfattning : The chemical compositions of Cr-spinel extracted from mafic and ultramafic rocks collected on Ellesmere Island in the Arctic Canadian Archipelago were obtained through electron microprobe analyses. The extensively altered rocks are sampled from rock units in the Franklinian MobileBelt, which is representative of a Paleozoic tectonically active oceanic regime of which little is presently known.
