1. 16. Systematics and assessment of the chemosynthetic bivalve family Vesicomyidae

   Författare :Frida Hybertsen; Steffen Kiel; Helen Coxall; Elizabeth Harper; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cenozoic; deep sea; hydrocarbon seeps; chemosynthetic; Bivalvia; Vesicomyidae; maringeologi; Marine Geology;

   Sammanfattning : The deep ocean has fascinated researchers for centuries with discoveries of new ecosystems and species, yet there are still many biogeographic and evolutionary questions unanswered. Along active and passive tectonic margins, specialized ecologies thrive in a symbiosis between chemosynthesizing bacteria and their host animals. LÄS MER

3. 17. Eastern equatorial Pacific bulk sediment properties and paleoceanography since the late Neogene

   Författare :Daniele Reghellin; Helen K. Coxall; Jan Backman; Gerald R. Dickens; Steve Hovan; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Paleoceanography; late Neogene; eastern equatorial Pacific; deep sea sediments; bulk sediment; stable isotopes; surface mixed layer; sediment physical properties; Marine Geology; maringeologi;

   Sammanfattning : Reconstructing eastern equatorial Pacific (EEP) oceanography since the late Neogene (about 8 million years ago, Ma) is a central topic in current paleoceanographic investigations. The reason for this is two-fold. LÄS MER

4. 18. Preservation of Marine Reptile Soft Parts: Reconstructing the Life and Death of Ancient Leviathans

   Författare :Randolph De La Garza; Berggrundsgeologi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular paleontology; Taphonomy; Soft-tissues; Lagerstätten; Skin; Sea Turtle; Ichthyosaur; Fur Formation; Posidonia Shale; Paleobiology; Marine Reptiles;

   Sammanfattning : Marine reptiles constitute a diverse group of secondarily aquatic tetrapods that have inhabited the world’s oceans for the greater part of the last 250 million years. While certain large-scale anatomical changes have been observed through progressive alterations of their skeletal morphology (e.g. LÄS MER

5. 19. Event stratigraphy for the Last Glacial-Holocene transition in eastern middle Sweden

   Författare :Jonas Björck; Michael J.C Walker; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Last Glacial-Holocene transition; event stratigraphy; eastern middle Sweden; pollen; plant macrofossils; marine calcareous fossils; microtephra; radiocarbon dating; clay varve chronology; GRIP; ice-core chronology; calendar year chronology; Preboreal oscillation; Yoldia Sea; Baltic Ice Lake; Quaternary Geology; kvartärgeologi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis outlines an event stratigraphy for the Last Glacial-Holocene transition in eastern middle Sweden. Events are short-lived occurrences that have left traces in the geological record and which, therefore, may be used for correlation and inter-regional comparisons. LÄS MER

7. 20. Diagenesis and Reservoir-Quality Evolution of Paralic, Shallow Marine and Fluvio-lacustrine Deposits : Links to Depositional Facies and Sequence Stratigraphy

   Författare :Osama Ahmed Hlal; Sadoon Morad; Hans Annersten; J. Marcelo Ketzer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sandstone; Diagenesis; paralic; shallow marine and fluvio-lacustrine; reservoir quality; sequence stratigraphy; Solid earth geology and petrology; Berggrundsgeologi och petrologi;

   Sammanfattning : Linking diagenesis to depositional facies and sequence stratigraphy enables better prediction of spatial and temporal distribution of diagenetic alterations, and thus of evolution of reservoir quality in sandstones. This thesis demonstrates that employing this approach is possible because depositional facies and sequence stratigraphy can provide useful information on parameters controlling the near-surface diagenesis, such as changes in: (i) pore-water chemistry, (ii) residence time of sediments under certain geochemical conditions, (iii) detrital composition and proportion of extra- and intra-basinal grains, and (iv) types and amounts of organic matter.
