Delta plain sedimentation on Svalbard and at the northern Barents Shelf in The De Geerdalen and Snadd formations, RiS ID 10086.

Awarded: NOK 39,999

The aim of the project is to improve the understanding of the upper Triassic of Svalbard and the Barents Sea by investigate and log lateral changes in delta plain sediments in the De Geerdalen Formation. Field work will take place at several localities on Svalbard in order to investigate how the formation changes from west to east over the archipelago. The results can partly be used as an analog to the Snadd Formation in the Barents Sea.
