Igneous intrusions in sedimentary basins are associated with contact aureoles that influence rock properties such as maturation, porosity and permeability. On Svalbard, an extensive dolerite complex (i.e., the Diabasodden Suite) was emplaced in a heterolithologic sandstone, siltstone, shale and carb...
