Detta arbetet har hanterat sex olika borrkärnor från den Prekambriska berggrunden i Ohio, USA. Denna berggrund är täckt med 800 – 5000 meter av Paleozoiska avlagringar och på grund av detta vet vi väldigt lite om den. Arbetet har gått ut på att karakterisera och datera dessa bergarter samt att via isotop analyser av syre och hafnium ta reda på bergarternas sammansättning och evolution. BorrkärnoThe Grenville orogen forms a major, continental scale, Mesoproterozoic orogenic belt along the present day eastern North American continent, from Labrador in the north to Mexico in the south. It is, however, mainly exposed in the northeastern parts of North America. Most of the orogen forms a basement to thick piles of Phanerozoic sedimentary rocks, and the geological evolution of the extensive co

Geofysiska metoder används vid alla tunnelbyggnadsprojekt då geotekniska beskrivningar och modeller baseras på resultat från dessa. Detaljerade redogörelser för markförhållanden och information om djupet till berggrunden är av intresse, och med geofysiska metoder kan dessa parametrar utvärderas. Detta arbete är baserat på geofysiska undersökningar med fokus på de geoelektriska metoderna. MetodernaIn all tunnel construction projects geophysical methods are important as a foundation for engineering geological conceptual models. Detailed information about the condition and the physical properties of rocks at depth is desirable, and geophysical methods have the potential to exploit these properties. This work is based on geophysical investigations with focus on the geoelectrical methods. The m
