Onshore-offshore correlation of brittle faults has been undertaken in the Andfjorden area defining the boundary between the passive Lofoten-Vesterålen margin and the transform SW Barents Sea margin. This study has focused its efforts on onshore mapping of faults and fractures, the mapping of offshor...
