1. Water as a trace component in mantle pyroxene: Quantifying diffusion, storage capacity and variation with geological environment
Sammanfattning : In this study, distribution and diffusion of water in pyroxene are examined in an effort to explain the water content variation observed in natural pyroxene. Water is a common trace component in many nominally anhydrous minerals (NAMs) from the Earth's crust and mantle and greatly impacts their physical properties. LÄS MER
2. Hydrogen diffusion and storage mechanisms in diopside
Sammanfattning : Hydrogen is a widespread trace element in many nominally anhydrous minerals (minerals without water or hydroxyl ions in their structural formula) from the Earth's crust and mantle. The hydrogen is normally incorporated in the form of hydroxyl ions and can be regarded as structurally bound water. LÄS MER
3. Agpaitic Rocks of the Norra Kärr Alkaline Complex: Chemistry, Origin, and Age of Eudialyte-hosted Zirconium and Rare-earth Element Ore
Sammanfattning : Agpaites are peralkaline nepheline syenites that are denominated by rock-forming complex silicate minerals such as eudialyte. The exotic mineralogy and chemistry of these rocks are not only interesting for research, but globally these rocks also have potential as polymetallic resources of elements such as zirconium, niobium, rare-earth elements, zinc, and uranium.

4. Deep subduction of the Seve Nappe Complex in the Scandinavian Caledonides
Sammanfattning : This thesis seeks to improve our understanding of the processes involved in continental collision zones, with a particular focus on subduction-exhumation. The main objective of this work has been to define the tectonometamorphic evolution of the deeply subducted Seve Nappe Complex (SNC) in the Scandinavian Caledonides. LÄS MER
