  • The Permo-Carboniferous Oslo Rift Through Six Stages and 65 Million Years
    52 by Bjørn T. Larsen1, Snorre Olaussen2, Bjørn Sundvoll3, and Michel Heeremans4 The Permo-Carboniferous Oslo Rift through six stages and 65 million years 1 Det Norske Oljeselskp ASA, Norway. E-mail: [email protected] 2 Eni Norge AS. E-mail: [email protected] 3 NHM, UiO. E-mail: [email protected] 4 Inst. for Geofag, UiO. E-mail: [email protected] The Oslo Rift is the northernmost part of the Rotliegen- des basin system in Europe. The rift was formed by lithospheric stretching north of the Tornquist fault sys- tem and is related tectonically and in time to the last phase of the Variscan orogeny. The main graben form- ing period in the Oslo Region began in Late Carbonif- erous, culminating some 20–30 Ma later with extensive volcanism and rifting, and later with uplift and emplacement of major batholiths. It ended with a final termination of intrusions in the Early Triassic, some 65 Ma after the tectonic and magmatic onset. We divide the geological development of the rift into six stages. Sediments, even with marine incursions occur exclusively during the forerunner to rifting. The mag- matic products in the Oslo Rift vary in composition and are unevenly distributed through the six stages along the length of the structure. Introduction The Oslo Palaeorift (Figure 1) contributed to the onset of a pro- longed period of extensional faulting and volcanism in NW Europe, which lasted throughout the Late Palaeozoic and the Mesozoic eras. Widespread rifting and magmatism developed north of the foreland of the Variscan Orogen during the latest Carboniferous and contin- ued in some of the areas, like the Oslo Rift, all through the Permian period.

When I am not doing homework, I am most likely reading a book or watching Netflix. I have been to the Aurora Space Center on multiple occasions since it is so close to where I live. But I am really excited to go back there for ESC 2017! Roommate description: Celine was an awesome roommate, we got along very well. She is such a sweet and kind person. We were able to have many interesting conversations and coordinated getting up in the morning - not always the nicest task haha. Adrian StokdalOpheim From: Norway Description: Hello! My name is Adrian, i am 18 years old and live just outside the city of Trondheim in the middle of Norway. From a young age i have always been fascinated by space and all its hidden mysteries. Not only space itself, but also rockets, satellites and all of the other technology involved. I also love making things and, using the tools and machines in our garage, i have done a few projects the last couple of years. When i don't do homework/schoolwork i usually spend my time on these projects or outdoors training. I have been doing a sport called "orienteering" since i was eight, and still do my best to acheive the best possible results in competition. Orienteering is a typical scandinavian sport where the goal is to run a course, with several controls, set on a map at the shortest amount of time.

IAC-13.E.6.1.6 COMPETITIONS, GAMES AND PRIZES - MEANS FOR ADVANCED SPACE RESEARCH? L. Summerera,∗, A. Galvezb, D. Izzoa, F. Salzgeberc, A. de Clercqc, P. Manesc aESA Advanced Concepts Team, Keplerlaan 1, 2201 Noordwijk, The Netherlands bESA General Studies Programme, rue Mario Nikis, 75015 Paris, France cESA Technology Transfer Programme, Keplerlaan 1, 2201 Noordwijk, The Netherlands Abstract The traditional main mechanisms to advance science and technology in the space sector have recently been complemented by the use of competitions, prizes and games. Historically competitions and ex-ante prizes have played an important role among the tools of governments to stimulate innovation and advance science and technologies. Triggered by the success of the Ansari X-Prize in late 1990s / early 2000, these mechanisms have steadily gained grounds and supporters, also among governments. Scholarly literature on the effectiveness, advantages and disadvantages of these methods is emerging but still scarce. Most of the available scholarly literature assesses their impact based on US case studies and examples. The present paper provides a first analysis of these mechanisms and tools within the European Space Agency (ESA), based on three different areas: scientific research within its Advanced Concepts Team, business and innovation oriented competitions and prizes within the technology transfer programme and system level studies within the General Studies Programme. The ESA Advanced Concepts Team has experimented and used new ways of engaging with the larger scientific community via the use of scientific competitions, online games and scientific crowdsourcing experiments.
