Jamaica and a large part of Cuba were once part of the Great Arc of the Caribbean (GAC), which was later deformed ... -
The impact of salt tectonics on the Mesozoic sedimentation and petroleum systems of the Norwegian Barents Sea
Rojo Moraleda, Luis Alberto (PhD thesis UiS;540, Doctoral thesis, 2020-09)In the Norwegian Barents Sea, Mesozoic and Cenozoic mobilization of Pennsylvanian-lower Permian layered evaporite sequences (LES) resulted in areas with salt tectonics (e.g. Nordkapp, Tromsø and Tiddlybanken basins), which ... -
Jurassic to Early Cretaceous basin configuration(s) in the Fingerdjupet Subbasin, SW Barents Sea
Serck, Christopher Sæbø; Faleide, Jan Inge; Braathen, Alvar; Kjølhamar, Bent; Escalona, Alejandro (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-06)The Fingerdjupet Subbasin in the southwestern Barents Sea sits in a key tectonic location between deep rifts in the west and more stable platform areas in the east. Its evolution is characterized by extensional reactivation ... -
Lithological Heterogeneities in the Zechstein Group: Compressed Air Energy Storage Opportunities in Salt Caverns
Seyfeli, Deniz Firat (Master thesis, 2023)Ensuring a sustainable future necessitates the adoption of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar energy. However, these energy sources are inherently intermittent, which emphasizes the need for effective energy ... -
Middle to Upper Jurassic Depositional Setting in the Hammerfest Basin, Southwestern Barents Sea
Braut, Tonje Iren (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-07-06)The Middle to Upper Jurassic Fuglen and Hekkingen formations of the southwestern Barents Sea represents both important source rocks and seals in several petroleum plays in the region. The current understanding of this time ... -
A Novel Approach for Autonomous Densely Spaced Acquisition of Buried Objects in Intertidal Environments—Field Examples From Avaldsnes, Norway
Olsen, Thomas Meldahl; Weibull, Wiktor Waldemar; Escalona, Alejandro; Vivås, Arild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024-07)Underwater archaeology relies on expensive and time-consuming invasive methods for identifying and excavating objects buried in the seabed or identifying layers in shallow and intertidal environments. Especially shallow ... -
