I will write my MSc. thesis on the evolution of the Forlandsundet Basin. Thereby focusing on structural and sedimentological features in the outcrops of the Sarstangen area. In the field I plan to:
- Obtain structural data from faults and fractures to better constrain the movement history along the basin´s bounding faults
- Log and describe the sedimentary succession exposed adjacent to the basin´s eastern tectonic boundary to evaluate its depositional environment and potential source areas
- Sample sediments for U-Pb (Zr) geochronology
- Sample for thin sections of sediments
