Genesis of subglacial triangular‐shaped landforms (murtoos) formed by the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet
Murtoos are primarily depositional subglacial landforms with erosional triangular heads in the direction of the ice flow. They are produced by repeated high meltwater input and varying periodic deformation by the overriding ice. Murtoos represent a semi‐distributed drainage system under high‐pressure conditions where the rapid mobilisation of ...

Pegmatite fields within granite plutons are commonly considered to have formed from residual melts of their host. This is not always true as demonstrated by the Tysfjord granite gneiss and its two groups of pegmatites.

Abstract Mineral exploration is facing greater challenges nowadays because of the increasing demand for raw materials and the lesser chance of finding large deposits at shallow depths. To be efficient and address new exploration challenges, high‐resolution and sensitive methods that are cost‐effective and environmentally friendly are required.

Abstract Recent studies have shown that biosignatures of ancient microbial life exist in mineral coatings in deep bedrock fractures of Precambrian cratons, but such surveys have been few and far between. Here, we report results from southwestern Sweden in an area of 1.6–1.5 Ga Paleoproterozoic rocks heavily reworked by the 1.14–0.96 Ga Sveconorwegian ...

Abstract We analyze envelopes of 233 and 22 ML0.0 to ML1.8 earthquakes induced by two geothermal stimulations in the Helsinki, Finland, metropolitan area. We separate source spectra and site terms and determine intrinsic attenuation and the scattering strength of shear waves in the 3–200 Hz frequency range using radiative transfer based synthetic ...

Petrographic studies and mineralogical characterization of the Dellen impactites
Abstract The impact origin of the Early Cretaceous (140.82 ± 0.51 Ma) 20‐km diameter Dellen structure was proven in the late 60s based on the discovery of planar deformation features (PDFs) in quartz grains. Although decades have passed, impactites found from the crater have not received much attention. Thus, this study provides a detailed petrological

Nonsystematic Rupture Directivity of Geothermal Energy Induced Microseismicity in Helsinki, Finland
Abstract The rupture behavior of microseismicity in fluid‐injection settings with low fault stresses is generally believed to be controlled by the pore pressure, including a tendency of the larger induced earthquakes to rupture into the perturbed volume toward the injection well, implying a degree of predictability.

ABSTRACT In mineral exploration, reliable and comprehensive petrophysical groundwork helps evaluate the success rate of applying geophysical methods to the target and thus improves the quality of decision‐making related to geophysical surveys. Petrophysical data for potential field exploration can be efficiently collected from drill cores together with

Abstract The Keurusselkä structure is one of Finland's 12 meteorite impact structures—one of the world's oldest (1150 ± 10 Ma) and the largest of its kind in Finland. Findings of numerous well‐formed shatter cones in a wide area have helped define and prove Keurusselkä's impact origin.

Supracrustal rocks in the Kuovila area, Southern Finland: Structural evolution, geochemical characteristics and the age of volcanism [PDF]
The supracrustal rocks of the Kuovila area in the Palaeoproterozoic Svecofennian Uusimaa Belt, southern Finland, consist mainly of volcaniclastic rocks associated with banded iron formations (BIFs) and marbles.
