E-mail corresponding author (Kim Senger): [email protected] The beginning of the Norwegian oil industry is often attributed to the first exploration drilling in the North Sea in 1966, the first discovery in 1967 and the discovery of the supergiant Ekofisk field in 1969. However, petroleum exploration already started onshore Svalbard in 1960 with three mapping groups from Caltex and exploration efforts by the Dutch company Bataaffse (Shell) and the Norwegian private company Norsk Polar Navigasjon AS (NPN). NPN was the first company to spud a well at Kvadehuken near Ny-Ålesund in 1961.

  • Foraminifera1 Stratigraphy of Raised Marine Deposits, Representing Isotope Stage 5, Prins Karls Forland, Western Sval Bard
    Foraminifera1 stratigraphy of raised marine deposits, representing isotope stage 5, Prins Karls Forland, western SVal bard HELENE BERGSTEN. TORBJORN ANDERSON and OLAFUR INGOLFSSON Bergsten, H., Andersson. T. & Ingolfsson, 0. 1998: Foraminiferd stratigraphy of raised marine deposits, representing isotope stage 5. Prins Karls Forland, western Svalbard. Polar Research 17(1). 81-91. Two raised marine sequences from Prim Karls Forland, western Svalbard, interpreted to have been deposited during part of isotope substage Se (Eemian) and substage 5a, were studied for foraminifera content. Time constraints are given by I4C ages, infrared stimulated luminescence age estimates and amino acid ratios in suhfossil marine molluscs. A diamicton (unit B) separates the two marine sequences and reflects an advancement of local glaciers sometime late in isotope stage 5. The two marine sequences contain diverse benthic foraminifera1 faunas, indicating periods of a relatively warm and seasonally ice-free marine shelf environment. Compared to the lowermost sequence (unit A), the upper marine sequence (unit C) seems to reflect a more shallow environment that could have resulted from the global lowering of the sea level towards the end of isotope stage 5. Our results further emphasise the problem of biostratigraphic distinction between interglacial and interstadial deposits at high latitudes, with temperature conditions for substage Sa close to those of substage 5e and present conditions.

  • ESG Perspectives June 2019 Svalbard Sojourn an Arctic
    June 2019 ESG Perspectives ™ SVALBARD SOJOURN: AN ARCTIC EXPERIENCE by Bob Smith, President & CIO islands are 60% glaciated with some of the world’s fastest-moving glaciers. The balance of the region is 30% barren ground, and 10% is covered with very low ground vegetation. In contrast to other Arctic regions, the Svalbard has no indigenous population and there is no historical evidence that the Vikings settled in the area during their time. In fact, it was the 1596 Dutch expedition of Willem Barents who discovered and drew maps of the region before his ship was crushed by freezing sea ice leading to his untimely death. However, the work of this expedition survived, and it led to the exploration of the region by other European countries over the Photo of Bob Smith in Kungsfjord, Svalbard centuries. This eventually gave rise to the exploitation It is said that what happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay of the natural resources of the region as a destination in the Arctic. That is because this region provides for whalers, fur trappers, and seal hunters, as well as essential global climate regulation and substantial other animal-based products. With the industrialization ecosystem benefits to humanity outside and beyond of Europe and the arrival of steel-hulled ships in the its boundaries. Indeed, the Arctic environment, and early 1900s, this region also eventually became a source human society and its economic activities are deeply for industrial minerals and, in particular, coal. connected to each other, representing a pivotal link in a complex adaptive global ecosystem.

  • Appendix: Economic Geology: Exploration for Coal, Oil and Minerals

The view is from Trygghamna ('Safe Harbour') with CSE motorboats Salterella and Collenia by the shore, with good anchorage and easy access inland. Photo M. J. Hambrey, CSE (SP. 1561). Routine journeys to the fjords of north Spitsbergen and Nordaustlandet pass by the rocky coastline of northwest Spitsbergen. Here is a view of Smeerenburgbreen from Smeerenburgfjordenwhich affords some shelter being protected by outer islands. On one of these was Smeerenburg, the principal base for early whaling, hence the Dutch name for 'blubber town'. Photo N. I. Cox, CSE 1989.

Photo P. W. Web, CSE 1989. Access to cliffs and a glacier route (up Hannabreen) often necessitates crossing blocky talus (here Devonian in foreground) and then possibly a pleasanter route up the moraine on to hard glacier ice. Moraine generally affords a useful introduction to the rocks to be traversed along the glacial margin. The dots in the sky are geese training their young to fly in V formation for their migration back to the UK at the end of the summer.

  • Caledonian Anatexis of Grenvillian Crust: a U/Pb Study of Albert I Land, NW Svalbard
    NORWEGIAN JOURNAL OF GEOLOGY Caledonian anatexis of Grenvillian crust 173 Caledonian anatexis of Grenvillian crust: a U/Pb study of Albert I Land, NW Svalbard Per Inge Myhre, Fernando Corfu & Arild Andresen Myhre, P.I., Corfu, F. & Andresen, A.: Caledonian anatexis of Grenvillian crust: a U/Pb study of Albert I Land, NW Svalbard. Norwegian Journal of Geology, Vol. 89, pp. 173-191. Trondheim 2008. ISSN 029-196X. Dating by U-Pb ID-TIMS of zircon, titanite and monazite has been carried out on orthogneiss, granite and migmatite from Albert I Land Terrane, Northwest Svalbard, to investigate the origin of this terrane and its role within the North Atlantic Caledonides. Detrital zircons in a migmatized metasedimentary rock of the Smeerenburgfjorden Complex indicate deposition after about 1070 Ma. Zircon and titanite from orthogneiss within the same complex yield an upper intercept age of 967.9 ± 4.7 Ma interpreted to date crystallization of the igneous protolith. Monazite ages of 419.7 ± 0.5 Ma from the orthogneiss are interpreted to date Caledonian reworking. Other migmatite and granite samples of the Smeerenburgfjorden Com- plex record monazite growth during a 6–8 My long period commencing at c. 430 Ma. This period concluded with the intrusion of granitoids with ages of 421.7 ± 0.6 Ma and 418.8 ± 0.7 Ma. The latter is coeval with the Hornemantoppen Batholith emplaced at 418.4 ± 0.8 Ma. The identification of late Grenvillian (Rigolet) magmatic and Caledonian (Scandian) magmatic and metamorphic events, combined with other stratigraphic analogies, supports a link with Svalbard’s Nordaustlandet Terrane as well as with Laurentian terranes in NE Greenland and the Scandinavian Caledonides.
