  2. 1. Modeling internal deformation of salt structures targeted for radioactive waste disposal

    Author : Zurab Chemia; Hemin Koyi; Harro Schmeling; Ian Alsop; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : salt; diapir; anhydrite; deformation; entrainment; numerical modeling; rheology; sinking; Gorleben;

    Abstract : This thesis uses results of systematic numerical models to argue that externally inactive salt structures, which are potential targets for radioactive waste disposal, might be internally active due to the presence of dense layers or blocks within a salt layer.The three papers that support this thesis use the Gorleben salt diapir (NW Germany), which was targeted as a future final repository for high-grade radioactive waste, as a general guideline.

  4. 2. Revealing invisible strain : Magnetic Fabric Analysis as Strain Indicator in Analogue Models and Nature

    Author : Thorben Schöfisch; 0000-0002-1872-052x Hemin; Bjarne Almqvist; Stefan Luth; Ian Alsop; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Analogue Modelling; Magnetic Fabric Analysis; AMS; Strain distribution; Geovetenskap med inriktning mot mineralogi; petrologi och tektonik; Earth Science with specialization in Mineral Chemistry; Petrology and Tectonics;

    Abstract : Strain is accommodated by folding, thrusting and an “invisible” component, known as penetrative strain. Magnetic fabric analysis allows for identification and quantification of this imperceivable strain. In this thesis, magnetic fabric analysis is applied to quantify strain in analogue sandbox models.
