1. Characterization of Hydrogeological Media Using Electromagnetic Geophysics
University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis UpsaliensisAbstract : Radio magnetotellurics (RMT), crosshole ground penetrating radar (GPR), and crosshole electrical resistance tomography (ERT) were applied in a range of hydrogeological applications where geophysical data could improve hydrogeological characterization.A profile of RMT data collected over highly resistive granite was used to map subhorizontal fracture zones below 300m depth, as well as a steeply dipping fracture zone, which was also observed on a coinciding seismic reflection profile.

2. Magnetic Resonance Sounding (MRS) in groundwater exploration, with applications in Laos and Sweden
University dissertation from Luleå : Luleå tekniska universitetAbstract : Water is essential for all life on the planet, sustaining and ensuring the earth’s ecosystem. Groundwater from a global perspective provides about 50 % of the potable water, 40 % of the industrial water and 20 % of the irrigation water. READ MORE

3. Seismic imaging of deep crustal reflectivity in Sweden and Iceland
University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis UpsaliensisAbstract : Seismic reflection profiling, originally developed by the petroleum industry, was adapted to systematic imaging of deep structures some 25 years ago. In continental areas, these measurements often show weakly reflective upper crust and strongly reflective lower crust. READ MORE

4. Prediction of Strong Ground Motion and Hazard Uncertainties
University dissertation from Uppsala : UniversitetsbiblioteketAbstract : The purpose of this thesis is to provide a detailed description of recent methods and scientific basis for characterizing earthquake sources within a certain region with distinct tectonic environments. The focus will be on those characteristics that are most significant to the ground-shaking hazard and on how we can incorporate our current knowledge into hazard analyses for engineering design purposes.

5. Plane wave electromagnetic measurements for imaging fracture zones
University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis UpsaliensisAbstract : Electromagnetic fields from distant radio transmitters interact with the resistivity structures in the earth. They can be regarded as plane-wave fields since their penetration depth is much smaller than their wavelength. READ MORE
