  • CORRELATION BEWEEN the LATE PRECAMBRIAN OLDER SANDSTONE SERIES of the VARANGERFJORD and TANAFJORD AREAS PKELIMINARY REPORT Signe
    CORRELATION BEWEEN THE LATE PRECAMBRIAN OLDER SANDSTONE SERIES OF THE VARANGERFJORD AND TANAFJORD AREAS PKELIMINARY REPORT by Signe-Line Røe1 ) Abstract. Sedimentary rocks belonging to the late Precambrian Older Sandstone Series (over lain unconformably by the Eo-Cambrian—Lower Cambrian Vestertana Group) are described from the Vadsø—Komagelven area on the northern side of Varanger- fjord. The c. 1300 m thick Varangerfjord Older Sandstone Series succession is divided into trwelve informal members. A correlation of the upper c. 1000 m of this succession with the late Precambrian Tanafjord Group is then presented. Finally the regional discordance present between the Older Sandstone Series and the Vestertana Group is briefly mentioned. Introduction. The area investigated is situated on the northern side of Varanger fjord, East Finnmark, between longitudes 29° 38' and 30° 20' east and latitudes 70° 04' and 70° 18' north. For mapping purposes, 1:50 000 AMS topographical maps were used as aerial photographs were not available. The mapped area covers approximately 450 sq. km. Good exposure is, in general, restricted to the coastal section and to the inland valleys. x ) Student, University of Bergen. Present adress: NGU, boks 3006, Trondheim. 231 Previous to this investigation the area had not been mapped geo logically. The geological map presented with this paper does, however, include a tract of ground mapped by Siedlecka & Siedlecki in 1968, that of the Kjøltindene-Grythaugen—Holmfjellet area. (Fig. 1 and map, fig. 3). A brief description of the rocks occurring along the coastal section of the present area was given by Holtedahl (1918). In 1969 Hobday, Geddes and Reading (Oxford University) studied these same sediments, this work forming a part of a recent publication (Banks et al.

Opening of the meeting Chair of the Subgroup Anna Kuhmonen opened the meeting and introduced the agenda. The meeting started with a round of introductions. The list of participants can be found at the end of this document. Ilona Grekelä acts as secretary and writes the minutes. 2. Adoption of the minutes from the previous meeting The Minutes from the previous meeting were adopted. The annex 1 to the SNW work programme 2020-2022 Project list has been updated. This document was delivered to the subgroup ahead of the meeting. New updates are welcome in the future as well to the email addresses: [email protected] and [email protected]. Always before the meeting SNW’s members will get the updated project list. 3. Suggestion on Biodiversity commitment from the Barents Region Ms. Henna Haapala, Ministry of the Environment of Finland (presentation) WGE chair Ms. Henna Haapala presented a suggestion for a joint voluntary commitment to protect biodiversity, that could be given under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Haapala noted that the Barents region has unique and special ecosystems and already long experience of cross-border initiatives to protect it. The CBD has invited stakeholders ranging from public and private organizations to individuals to give voluntary commitments. Link to CBD is especially topical now, as the Aichi targets are expiring in 2020 and a new global biodiversity framework is being negotiated. The voluntary commitment from the Barents region is suggested to focus on freshwater ecosystems primarily in the river catchment areas that cross either international borders or borders between regions/counties/oblasts.

  • Facies Distributions and Lithostratigraphic Correlation in the Late Precambrian Ekkerøy Formation, East Finnmark, Norway
    Facies distributions and lithostratigraphic correlation in the late Precambrian Ekkerøy Formation, east Finnmark, Norway HOWARD D. JOHNSON Johnson, H. D.: Facies distributions and lithogratigraphic correlation in the late Precambrian Ekkerøy Forrnation, east Finnmark, Norway. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 58, pp. 175-190. Oslo 1978. ISSN 0029-196X. The late Precambrian Ekkerøy Formation of east Finnmark occurs at the top of the Vadsø Group and extends throughout the Tanafjorden-Varangerfjorden region. It consists of a uniform vertical and lateral facies pattern, in which four facies characteristically form part of a large-scale coarsening upward, marine- dominated regressive sequence. Lateral facies and thickness variations between inner Varanger­ halvøya (12�190 m thick) and Varangerfjorden (15-35 m thick) are the product of both primary depositional thickness variations and a gentle, southerly dipping unconforrnity at the base of the overlying Grønnes Formation. The transgression at the base of the Grønnes Formation (basal Tanafjord Group) marked a major change in depositional conditions from the fluvially-dominated Vadsø Group below to the shallow marine-dominated Tanafjord Group above. This junction is the most distinctive lithostratigraphic horizon in an otherwise conformable 2,000 m thick, clastic-dominated succession. H. D.

Arctic warming and decreasing sea-ice cover along the Siberian coast in the Arctic Ocean leads to greater accessibility for operations such as oil drilling and traffic of tankers. This implies increasing risks for Steller’s Eider Polysticta stelleri wintering, moulting and staging along the coasts of the Varanger Peninsula, Norway. Steller’s Eiders were surveyed by monthly counts during winter and early spring 2016/2017 to investigate numbers and distribution throughout the winter. The highest number of wintering Steller’s Eiders was found in January, representing ~7 % of the European population. In February–April numbers were lower, but at a rather stable level. We found relatively little variation in distribution between months, although the birds were more evenly distributed along the coast later in winter. Mean flock size was significantly larger in January than in March and April. Feeding behaviour was exclusively observed in shallow water, generally at depths of up to 6 m. Areas of focus for an oil pollution emergency plan are pointed out and discussed. Keywords: Steller’s Eider, Polysticta stelleri, winter distribution, flock size, oil pollution INTRODUCTION greater accessibility, as well as better technology for carrying out such operations in extreme environments.

  • Russian Fishing Activities Off the Coast of Finnmark*A Legal History1 Kirsti Strøm Bull*, Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway
    Arctic Review on Law and Politics Vol. 6, No. 1, 2015, pp. 3Á10 Russian Fishing Activities off the Coast of Finnmark*A Legal History1 Kirsti Strøm Bull*, Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway Abstract The rich fishery resources off the coast of Finnmark have historically attracted fishermen from other parts of Norway and from neighbouring countries. This article discusses the legal history of Russian fishing activities off the coast of Finnmark and covers the historical period from the 1700s until the termination of this fishery in the early 1900s. The article shows that Russian fishermen, like the Sa´mi from Finland*and unlike fishermen from other nations, were authorized to establish shacks and landing places. Both the agreements and legal disputes surrounding the fishery, which lasted until World War I, are discussed in the article. Keywords: fishery; Russia; legal history; rights to marine resources; Finnmark; The Lapp Codicil Received: August 2014; Accepted: September 2014; Published: March 2015 1. Introduction protecting fishery resources for the benefit of Finnmark’s own population* From far back in time, the rich fisheries off the coast of Finnmark have attracted fishermen from beyond the county’s own borders. Some of these fishermen, known in Norwegian as nordfarere (‘‘northern seafarers’’), came from further south along the Norwegian coast, specifically from the counties of Nordland and Trøndelag. Others came from further east, from Finland and Russia. In more recent times, fishermen started to arrive from even further afield, notably from England. When the English trawlers ventured into Varangerfjord in 1911, they triggered a dispute between Norway and England concerning the delimitation of the Norwegian fisheries zone that continued until 1951, when the matter was decided by the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

Grenseområdene i Øst-Finnmark har mye å by på. Det fikk vi nok en gang erfare da NOF Travel besøkte Pasvikdalen og Varangerhalvøya for annen gang i slutten av juni 2008. Denne rapporten presenterer de viktigste observasjonene og opplevelsene fra turen sett fra reiselederes synsvinkel. Til sammen deltok 12 personer fra ulike deler av landet. Transporten mellom lokalitetene foregikk med bil. Deltagerne fordelte seg på tre leiebiler med fire personer i hver: en Volkswagen Passat, en Volkswagen Touran og en Volkswagen Golf. Kommunikasjonen mellom bilene foregikk ved hjelp av walkie-talkie. Artslista endte til slutt på 126 observerte fuglearter. De aller fleste av områdets mest karakteristiske arter ble observert, dog med unntak av jordugle og lavskrike. De aller fleste artene ble sett av samtlige turdeltagere. Av pattedyr registrerte vi vånd, ekorn, bisam, rødrev, hare, steinkobbe og havert. Gruppa fungerte bra sammen sosialt og vi opplevde ingen uhell eller andre komplikasjoner underveis.

  • The Origin of Upper Precambrian Diamictites, Northern Norway: a Case Study Applicable to Diamictites in General
    Geologos 23, 3 (2017): 163–181 doi: 10.1515/logos-2017-0019 The origin of upper Precambrian diamictites, northern Norway: a case study applicable to diamictites in general Mats O. Molén Umeå FoU AB, Vallmov. 61, 90352 Umeå, Sweden, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Upper Precambrian diamictites in Varangerfjorden (northern Norway) have been examined for evidence of origin, wheth- er glaciogenic, gravity flow or polygenetic. Studies of geomorphology, sedimentology and surface microtextures on quartz sand grains are integrated to provide multiple pieces of evidence for the geological agents responsible for the origin of the diamictites. The documented sedimentary and erosional structures, formerly interpreted in a glaciogenic context (e.g., diamict structure, pavements and striations) have been reanalysed. Field and laboratory data demonstrate that, contrary to conclusions reached in many earlier studies, the diamictites and adjacent deposits did not originate from glaciogenic processes. Evidence from macrostructures may occasionally be equivocal or can be interpreted as representing reworked, glacially derived material. Evidence from surface microtextures, from outcrops which are believed to exhibit the most un- equivocal signs for glaciation, display no imprint at all of glaciogenic processes, and a multicyclical origin of the deposits can be demonstrated. The geological context implies (and no geological data contradict this) an origin by gravity flows, possibly in a submarine fan environment. This reinterpretation of the diamictites
