1. Deformation behaviour and chemical signatures of anorthosites: : Examples from southern West Greenland and south-central Sweden
Abstract : Plagioclase is the most abundant mineral in the lower crust and it is thus important to constrain the behaviour of plagioclase during deformation. Anorthosites, which are plagioclase-rich rocks, are common in Archaean cratons but their origin and rheological importance is still debated. READ MORE

2. The geochemistry and petrogenesis of the Notträsk mafic intrusion, northern Sweden
Abstract : The Notträsk intrusive body is an early Proterozoic layered mafic intrusion probably of lopolithic form. It intrudes metasedimentary gneisses and shows the characteristics of Precambrian plutons which are contemporaneous with intercratonic tholeiitic volcanism; it represents the cumulates of a crustal-level magma chamber that may have been the source of basaltic volcanism in the area.
