Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Skåne skiljer sig i många avseenden från övriga landet och variationerna i landskapets topografi och geologi är stora. Skåne rymmer därför många olika naturtyper. Tryck- och tänjningsrörelser i berggrunden har resulterat i de stora horstarna (”åsarna”), som genom förkastningsrörelser höjts över omgivande berggrund och bildar stora, långsträckta ryggar i landskapeThe Colonus Shale Trough (CST) is an important tectonic entity in the Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone (STZ) in Skåne, southernmost Sweden. The fill comprises a Cambrian through Silurian succession dominated by fine-grained clastic sediments and subordinate limestone. Three deep wells were drilled in 2009–2010 by Shell in order to investigate the possibilities of extracting shale gas from the Cambrian-Or
