TS Tectonics and Structural Geology

The 2015 Outstanding Student Poster (OSP) Award is awarded to Hans Jørgen Kjøll for the poster/PICO entitled:

Brittle-viscous deformation of vein quartz under fluid-rich low greenschist facies conditions (Kjøll, H. J.; Viola, G.; Menegon, L.; Sørensen, B.)

I’m currently a master student at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway and is supervised by professor Giulio Viola (I will, however start a Ph.D at the University of Oslo this fall).

My main research interests lies in understanding how rocks deform under various conditions in nature and how microstructures may be used to understand regional tectonics and unravel the conditions during deformation through detailed fieldwork and mapping. The work I’ve conducted so far has been in the Norwegian Caledonides in Northern Norway.
