  2. 1. Analysis of Seismic Data Acquired at the Forsmark Site for Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, Central Sweden

    Author : Fatemeh Sharifi Brojerdi; Christopher Juhlin; Alireza Malehmir; Bjarne Almqvist; Ramon Carbonell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Forsmark site; anisotropy; deformation zone; reflection seismic; shear-wave splitting; fractures and traveltime tomography;

    Abstract : The Forsmark area, the main study area in this thesis, is located about 140 km north of Stockholm, central Sweden. It belongs to the Paleoproterozoic Svecokarelian orogen and contains several major ductile and brittle deformation zones including the Forsmark, Eckarfjärden and Singö zones. READ MORE

  4. 2. Strain quantifications in different tectonic scales using numerical modelling

    Author : Lukas Fuchs; Hemin Koyi; Susanne Buiter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Deformation modelling; progressive and finite deformation; salt tectonics; down-built diapir; upper mantle; lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary; seismic anisotropy; plate-mantle de coupling; Geovetenskap med inriktning mot mineralogi; petrologi och tektonik; Earth Science with specialization in Mineral Chemistry; Petrology and Tectonics;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on calculation of finite and progressive deformation in different tectonic scales using 2D numerical models with application to natural cases. Essentially, two major tectonic areas have been covered: a) salt tectonics and b) upper mantle deformation due to interaction between the lithosphere and asthenosphere. READ MORE

  5. 3. 2D and 3D Reflection Seismic Studies over Scandinavian Deformation Zones

    Author : Emil Lundberg; Christopher Juhlin; Alireza Malehmir; Lars Nielsen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Azimuthal binning; Crooked-line geometry; Cross-dip; Fault zone; Hard rock seismics; MTFC; Quick clay; Shear zone; UDZ; Geofysik med inriktning mot fasta jordens fysik; Geophysics with specialization in Solid Earth Physics;

    Abstract : The study of deformation zones is of great geological interest since these zones can separate rocks with different characteristics. The geometry of these structures with depth is important for interpreting the geological history of an area. READ MORE

  6. 4. Earthquake Sources and Hazard in northern Central America

    Author : Diego José Cáceres Calix; Ota Kulhánek; Vladimir Schenk; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geophysics; Northern Central America; Probabilistic Seismic Hazard; Body waveform modeling; Seismic Active Deformation; Earthquake Triggering; Geofysik; Geophysics; Geofysik;

    Abstract : Northern Central America is a tectonically complex zone defined by its borders with Cocos and North America plates. The Middle America subduction zone and the strike-slip motion along the North America-Caribbean plate boundary, in that order, control most of its deformation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Location and Relocation of Seismic Sources

    Author : Ka Lok Li; Ólafur Gudmundsson; Roland Roberts; Ari Tryggvason; Lars Ottemöller; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earthquake location; Earthquake relocation; Tremor location; Bayesian inversion; Correlation; Earthquake catalog; Iceland; Seismicity; Interferometry; Inverse theory; Volcanic tremor; Geofysik med inriktning mot seismologi; Geophysics with specialization in Seismology;

    Abstract : This dissertation is a comprehensive summary of four papers on the development and application of new strategies for locating tremor and relocating events in earthquake catalogs.In the first paper, two new strategies for relocating events in a catalog are introduced. READ MORE
