The best first year master students in petroleum geosciences and petroleum engineering got a well-deserved Christmas present from Acona.
Research and education today cannot be conducted without using state of the art software products. For an academic institution usual marked prices are unaffordable. We are thankful that software companies generously donate software that we can use in public research and the education of bachelor, master, and PhD students.
Structural geology is the study of tectonic deformation. We focus on the deformation of the upper crust and how it affects erosion and sedimentation in sedimentary basins, forms faults and folds that compartmentalize reservoirs, and makes ductile materials, such as salt, flow.
Basin scale studies focus on improving the understanding of paleogeographic evolution, tectonic and sedimentary interaction, and petroleum systems by integrating surface and subsurface data.
Provenance research tracks the transport routes of sediment. Such research is done for various reasons, such as paleogeographic, paleogeologic, and tectonic reconstructions of basins, basin surroundings, and continental-plate configurations.
Light detection and ranging (lidar) research focus on the planning and collection of lidar data as well as the processing and interpreting of 3D outcrop models.
Geophysics uses measurements of physical quantities to make inferences about the geological properties of the Earth and other planets. Geophysical methods are used in many fields of science and engineering. Specialized areas include environmental geophysics, exploration geophysics, and near-surface geophysics.
Geographic information science (GIS) research focuses on the analysis of spatial relationships, defining uncertainty, and using GIS for decision-making.
Value can only be created through our decisions. Uncertainty is inseparable from all significant decisions. You can’t make good decisions without embracing uncertainty.
Geosciences is an important expertise area within the energy sector, environment, construction among others.
Energy Engineering and Geoscience is a subfield within the doctoral programme in Science and Technology at UiS.
The Department of Energy Resources is a strong academic environment with international top-level research and education.
