Acquisition, Processing and Interpretation of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Data in Aidonia, Greece
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2020;, Master thesis, 2020)The Mycenaean Cemetery of Aidonia, Greece, is located about 10 km west of the town of New Nemea on the Peloponnese peninsula. In this cemetery, a number of chamber tombs dating from 1600-1100 B.C. was discovered in the ... -
High resolution heavy mineral studies from Silurian to Triassic successions exposed in the Altiplano of Bolivia (Central Andes)
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2020;, Master thesis, 2020)Heavy mineral studies play an important role in the understanding of a clastic sediment or sedimentary rock. The mineral composition of a clastic rock may reflect the provenance and sedimentological processes such as sorting ... -
Comparison of facies models based on stochastic versus deterministic AVO inversion
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2020;, Master thesis, 2020)This thesis compares facies models based on deterministic AVO inversion – which is a standard approach in the industry, and stochastic AVO inversion – which is a newer, less popular approach, but according to literature, ... -
