  • The Norwegian Contributionthe
    THE NORWEGIAN CONTRIBUTION THE CONTRIBUTION NORWEGIAN THE NORWEGIAN CONTRIBUTION The International Polar Year 2007-2008 (IPY) was one of the largest coordinated research program- mes ever implemented. Through intensive observation and data collection over the course of a two-year period the programme has laid the foundation for studies that will improve our knowledge of the Arctic and the Antarctic in the decades to come. One key topic was the significance of the polar regions for global climate. IPY was also innovative in the way it linked research with educa- tion, outreach and communication. Norway was a major contributor to IPY. This book summari- ses the results and presents the preliminary scientific findings of the Norwegian IPY programme.

  • Quaternary Glaciations and Their Variations in Norway and on the Norwegian Continental Shelf
    Quaternary glaciations and their variations in Norway and on the Norwegian continental shelf Lars Olsen1, Harald Sveian1, Bjørn Bergstrøm1, Dag Ottesen1,2 and Leif Rise1 1Geological Survey of Norway, Postboks 6315 Sluppen, 7491 Trondheim, Norway. 2Present address: Exploro AS, Stiklestadveien 1a, 7041 Trondheim, Norway. E-mail address (corresponding author): [email protected] In this paper our present knowledge of the glacial history of Norway is briefly reviewed. Ice sheets have grown in Scandinavia tens of times during the Quaternary, and each time starting from glaciers forming initial ice-growth centres in or not far from the Scandes (the Norwegian and Swedish mountains). During phases of maximum ice extension, the main ice centres and ice divides were located a few hundred kilometres east and southeast of the Caledonian mountain chain, and the ice margins terminated at the edge of the Norwegian continental shelf in the west, well off the coast, and into the Barents Sea in the north, east of Arkhangelsk in Northwest Russia in the east, and reached to the middle and southern parts of Germany and Poland in the south. Interglacials and interstadials with moderate to minimum glacier extensions are also briefly mentioned due to their importance as sources for dateable organic as well as inorganic material, and as biological and other climatic indicators.

Treatment of samples and counting equipment have remained essentially the same as described previously (R, 1972, v 14, p 418-419). Counting equipment and improvements are described in more detail by Gulliksen (1972). Our counters 2, 5 and 6 now have backgrounds/re- cent standard net counts of respectively .8cpm/ 19.3cpm, l.lcpm/ 11.7cpm, and .55cpm/7.6cpm. Guard Counter GM3 (Nydal, 1965) shielding our Counter 2, has been continuously working for 3 years without refilling or purification of the propane counting gas (1.2atm). Gyttja samples are now dated by using the NaOH-soluble fraction whenever the quantity of sample material is sufficient.

  • Implications for the Older Dryas Glacial Re-Advance and the Age of the Deglaciation

BRINER, TOMASZ GOSLAR AND JOHN INGE SVENDSEN Mangerud, J., Briner, J. P., Goslar, T. & Svendsen, J. I. 2017 (April): The Bølling-age Blomvag Beds, western Norway: implications for the Older Dryas glacial re-advance and the age of the deglaciation. Boreas, Vol. 46, pp. 162–184. 10.1111/bor.12208. ISSN 0300-9483. Blomvag, on the western coast of Norway north of Bergen, is a classical site in Norwegian Quaternary science. Foreshore marine sediments, named the Blomvag Beds and now dated to the Bølling-Allerød from 14.8 to 13.3 cal. ka BP, contain the richest Lateglacial bone fauna in Norway, numerous mollusc shells, driftwood, and flint that some archaeologists consider as the oldest traces of humans in Norway. The main theme of this paper is that the Blomvag Beds are overlain by a compact diamicton, named the Ulvøy Diamicton, which was interpreted previously as a basal till deposited during a glacial re-advance into the ocean during the Older Dryas (c. 14 cal. ka BP). Sediment sections of the Blomvag Beds and the Ulvøy Diamicton were exposed in ditches in a cemetery that was constructed in 1941–42 and have subsequently not been accessible. A number of radiocarbon and cosmo- genic 10Be exposure ages demonstrate that the diamicton is not likely to be a till because minimum deglaciation ages (14.8–14.5 cal. ka BP) from the vicinity pre-date the Ulvøy Diamicton.

  • Nasjonsrelaterte Stedsnavn På Svalbard Hvilke Nasjoner Har Satt Flest Spor Etter Seg? NOR-3920
    Nasjonsrelaterte stedsnavn på Svalbard Hvilke nasjoner har satt flest spor etter seg? NOR-3920 Oddvar M. Ulvang Mastergradsoppgave i nordisk språkvitenskap Fakultet for humaniora, samfunnsvitenskap og lærerutdanning Institutt for språkvitenskap Universitetet i Tromsø Høsten 2012 Forord I mitt tidligere liv tilbragte jeg to år som radiotelegrafist (1964-66) og ett år som stasjonssjef (1975-76) ved Isfjord Radio1 på Kapp Linné. Dette er nok bakgrunnen for at jeg valgte å skrive en masteroppgave om stedsnavn på Svalbard. Seks delemner har utgjort halve mastergradsstudiet, og noen av disse førte meg tilbake til arktiske strøk. En semesteroppgave omhandlet Norske skipsnavn2, der noen av navna var av polarskuter. En annen omhandlet Språkmøte på Svalbard3, en sosiolingvistisk studie fra Longyearbyen. Den førte meg tilbake til øygruppen, om ikke fysisk så i hvert fall mentalt. Det samme har denne masteroppgaven gjort. Jeg har også vært student ved Universitetet i Tromsø tidligere. Jeg tok min cand. philol.-grad ved Institutt for historie høsten 2000 med hovedfagsoppgaven Telekommunikasjoner på Spitsbergen 1911-1935. Jeg vil takke veilederen min, professor Gulbrand Alhaug for den flotte oppfølgingen gjennom hele prosessen med denne masteroppgaven om stedsnavn på Svalbard. Han var også min foreleser og veileder da jeg tok mellomfagstillegget i nordisk språk med oppgaven Frå Amarius til Pardis. Manns- og kvinnenavn i Alstahaug og Stamnes 1850-1900.4 Jeg takker også alle andre som på en eller annen måte har hjulpet meg i denne prosessen. Dette gjelder bl.a. Norsk Polarinstitutt, som velvillig lot meg bruke deres database med stedsnavn på Svalbard, men ikke minst vil jeg takke min kjære Anne-Marie for hennes tålmodighet gjennom hele prosessen.
