Post-Caledonian brittle faults along the SW Barents Sea Margin: onshore-offshore margin architecture and fault rock-forming conditions

The thesis aims to unravel the evolution and finite stage architecture of the SW Barents Sea Margin, which formed as a part of the rifting of present day Greenland and Scandinavia and the opening of the North Atlantic Ocean (cf. Faleide et al., 2008). The SW Barents Sea Margin studied in this thesis...

Description
Summary:The thesis aims to unravel the evolution and finite stage architecture of the SW Barents Sea Margin, which formed as a part of the rifting of present day Greenland and Scandinavia and the opening of the North Atlantic Ocean (cf. Faleide et al., 2008). The SW Barents Sea Margin studied in this thesis starts just north of the Lofoten-Vesterålen archipelago, continues northward outboard northern Troms and into western Finnmark. This thesis focus on (i) if and how onshore Post-Caledonian brittle faults correlate with major offshore, basin-bounding fault complexes and (ii) under which conditions onshore faulting occurred.
