This book addresses challenges in meeting the future demand for metals and minerals and presents results from ongoing research, surveying, exploration and exploitation of key minerals needed to supply the green and sustainable societies of the future.

The earliest incoming of spore Tetrads is recorded from the top Vik Formation (lower to middle Telychian). Trilete spores have so far only been recorded from Steinsfjorden Formation (Sheinwoodian).

Stimulated by its recovery in Neogene sediments from the Lomonosov Ridge (Central Arctic Ocean) during IODP Expedition 302, the stratigraphie and biogeographic distribution has been compiled to revise its age range based on the Astronomically Tuned Neogene Time Scale 2004, and to assess its paleoecologic affinities. The biostratigraphic revision reveals that this species is restricted to the late Middle to Late Miocene. The first appearence is inconsistent at the various sites but was probably in sediments younger than 13 Ma, whereas the last appearance is a relatively well-constrained datum in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea at around 6.2 Ma. Decahedrella martinheadii was particularly abundant and had its wid...

The TeMAr working group coordinated by Russia (VSEGEI) includes leading scientists from Geological Surveys, universities and national Academies of Sciences of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Russia, Canada, the USA, France, Germany and Great Britain. The Tectonic Map compilation activities were aimed at acquiring thorough understanding of deep-water geological formations of the Arctic and Norwegian-Greenland basins, shelves of the marginal seas and the adjacent continental onshore areas of the oceans. The Tectonic Map is supplemented with a set of geophysical maps, schematic maps and sections that illustrate the deep structure of the Earth’s crust and upper mantle of the Circumpolar Arctic.

GSOs continue to provide key scientific information about Earth systems, natural hazards and climate change. As countries adopt sustainable development principles and the public increasingly turns to social media to find information about resource and environmental issues, the generation and communication of Earth science knowledge become increasingly important. This volume provides a snapshot of how GSOs are adapting their activities to this changing world. The different national perspectives presented converge around several common themes related to resources, environment and big data. Climate change and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals provide an increased incentive for GSOs of the world to work in harmony, to generate knowledge ...

Using the range of selected species, their earliest appearances andlor extinction, six dinoflagelIate cyst zones and five subzones are proposed for the upper Middle and lower Upper Jurassic succession of central East Greenland. The proposed zonation scheme is correlated with the ammonite zonation of the investigated interval. Two new species, Chytroeisphaeridia grossa sp. nov. and Escharisphaeridia laevigata sp. nov. are formally described.
