PhD project:

Growth basin characterization and depositional setting in Svalbard and on the NW Barents shelf; onshore – offshore link.

Project objectives:
The aim of this project is to examine the relationship between tectonically induced growth-faults and their geometry in relation to the development of accommodation space and facies belts in Upper Paleozoic and lower Mesozoic basins onshore/near shore Svalbard and on the northwestern part of the Barents Shelf.

Supervisors: Snorre Olaussen (UNIS); Alvar Braathen (University of Oslo/UNIS); William Helland-Hansen (University of Bergen/UNIS); and Jan Inge Faleide (University of Oslo).
