An analysis of facies in the De Geerdalen Formation and provenance across the Middle to Late Triassic boundary on Spitsbergen, Svalbard
Heggem, Bård (Master thesis, 2017)At the end of the Paleozoic era, Svalbard and the Barents Sea were part of a large shallow embayment on the northern margin of Pangea. During the Triassic period, the embayment was filled with sediments from a large deltaic ... -
Bivalve beds reveal rapid changes in ocean oxygenation in the Boreal Middle Triassic – a case study from Svalbard, Norway
Engelschiøn, Victoria Sjøholt; Bernhardsen, Sofie; Wesenlund, Fredrik; Hammer, Øyvind; Hurum, Jørn Harald; Mørk, Atle (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A fossil-rich interval in the organic rich marine black mudstone of the Middle Triassic Botneheia Formation on eastern Svalbard was logged in high-resolution on an extremely well exposed section with emphasis on bivalve ... -
Building a geological reservoir model in the North Sea
Ullah, Hanif (Master thesis, 2014)This thesis is submitted as the partly requirement to fulfill the Masters of Science (M.Sc.) in Petroleum Geosciences at the Department of Petroleum Geosciences (IPT), Norwegian Universi-ty of Science and Technology ... -
The Hambergfjellet Formation on Bjørnøya – sedimentary response to early Permian tectonics on the Stappen High
Grundvåg, Sten-Andreas; Strand, Mathias; Paulsen, Christian Oen; Simonsen, Bjørn; Røstad, Jostein; Mørk, Atle; Mørk, Mai Britt Engeness (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)On Bjørnøya, the exhumed crest of the Stappen High, the lower Permian (Cisuralian) Hambergfjellet Formation represents the only exposed part of the Bjarmeland Group carbonate platform, which occurs widely elsewhere in the ... -
