Location:

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
