3-D MAGMATIC ARCHITECTURE AND THERMAL EVOLUTION OF VOLCANIC PASSIVE CONTINENTAL MARGINS

This project, conducted in collaboration with the hydrocarbon industry (Norsk Hydro), involves using a combination of 3-D seismic and potential field data. to image magma migration pathways (dykes and sills) during the early Tertiary opening of the North Atlantic Ocean.
