Paleosols in the Triassic De Geerdalen and Snadd formations
Enga, Jonas (Master thesis, 2015)Parts of the Late Triassic De Geerdalen Formation and the Middle to Late Triassic Snadd Formation have been investigated through facies analysis of outcrop and core data. The purpose has been to identify paleosols, relate ... -
Sandstone Provenance of the De Geerdalen Formation, Svalbard - Emphasis on Petrography and Chromium Spinel Compositions

Sedimentology and Facies Distribution in the Lower Triassic Vardebukta Formation on Oscar II Land, Svalbard
Hoel, Ingrid Nising (Master thesis, 2018)This thesis concerns the Lower Triassic Vardebukta Formation at Oscar II Land. The field data collected from the Triassic exposure on Selmanset, Bertilryggen and Ramfjelldalen, north of Isfjorden, during fieldwork in 2017 ... -
Sedimentology and facies distribution of the Upper Triassic De Geerdalen Formation in the Storfjorden area and Wilhelmøya, eastern Svalbard
Johansen, Sondre Krogh (Master thesis, 2016)This study investigates sediments of the Upper Triassic De Geerdalen Formation, as it is exposed on eastern Svalbard. The De Geerdalen Formation was deposited during the Early Carnian to Early Norian, on the distal area ... -
Sedimentology and petrography of the Svenskøya Formation on Hopen, Svalbard: an analogue to sandstone reservoirs in the Realgrunnen Subgroup
Lord, Gareth Steven; Mørk, Mai Britt Engeness; Mørk, Atle; Olaussen, Snorre (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)On the island of Hopen, in the Svalbard Archipelago, the Svenskøya Formation is a succession 35 m in thickness, consisting primarily of sandstone beds and forming the youngest strata exposed on the island. We present a ... -
