Three possible trunk channels are found on <strong>the</strong> isl<strong>and</strong> (channel bodies 1, 4 <strong>and</strong> 10).These channel bodies are found at different stratigraphical intervals, as well as atdifferent locations at <strong>the</strong> isl<strong>and</strong>. Delta switching due to avulsion of <strong>the</strong> river canindicate that <strong>the</strong> sediments were delivered to <strong>the</strong> Hopen area by a river situated whereChannel body 10 is located. Than <strong>the</strong> delta switched its course to <strong>the</strong> north <strong>and</strong>Channel body 1 was deposited. Towards <strong>the</strong> top of <strong>the</strong> De Geerdalen Formation <strong>the</strong>delta once again switched its course, <strong>and</strong> channel body 4 was deposited. Hence, <strong>the</strong>sethree channel bodies can have been created by <strong>the</strong> same river <strong>and</strong> are situated atdifferent places at <strong>the</strong> isl<strong>and</strong> due to delta switching. The middle marine interval (Table5.2) might also suggest delta switching, where <strong>the</strong> progradation of <strong>the</strong> delta happenssouth or north of <strong>the</strong> Hopen area.6.1 Fur<strong>the</strong>r workThere is a lot of potential for developing <strong>the</strong> PhotoModeler-model fur<strong>the</strong>r. Due tocomplications, which occurred during <strong>the</strong> process of completing <strong>the</strong> model <strong>and</strong> limitedtime, <strong>the</strong> western side of Blåfjellet <strong>and</strong> Småhumpane is not properly oriented in <strong>the</strong>model <strong>and</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>r work could <strong>the</strong>refore be done in order to complete <strong>the</strong> model for <strong>the</strong>entire isl<strong>and</strong>. To complete <strong>the</strong> model one need to take supplementary photos in areaswhere <strong>the</strong> photos are taken in bad wea<strong>the</strong>r, preferentially with an 85mm lens.In addition <strong>the</strong> model could be integrated into <strong>the</strong> software Petrel. By using Petrel onecould be able to make facies models based on <strong>the</strong> sedimentological logs <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>distribution of channel bodies <strong>and</strong> estimate <strong>the</strong> <strong>heterogeneity</strong> of <strong>the</strong> sediments between<strong>the</strong> measured sedimentological logs. A Petrel-model would also make it possible toestimate net/gross values.100
