EUROPE NORWAY ARCTIC ARCTIC CIRCLE TRAVELLING AND DISTANCES As you can see from the map our county is very long, 500 km as the crow flies from north to south, longer than the distance from Paris to Amsterdam. High mountains and the many fjords cutting deep into the landscape, can make travelling something of a challenge. This is why we have good communications. The county is linked together by roads, car ferries, express passenger boats, railways, airlines and even a helicopter service. We have 11 airports in a network ensuring excellent air links within the county borders and also outside of them. From the main airport in Bodø there are 18 daily departures to Norway’s capital city, Oslo. Most of them are direct flights. Nordland is far north, but we are far from isolated.

  • Rv 82 Miljøgate Andenes
    REGULERINGSPLAN FOR RV 82 MILJØGATE ANDENES Merknadsbehandling/Dokumenter til sluttbehandling Statens Vegvesen Region Nord, Midtre Hålogaland distrikt Harstad 16.11.2009 SAMMENDRAG Statens Vegvesen har med hjemmel i Plan og bygningslovens § 9-4 utarbeidet forslag til reguleringsplan for Rv 82, Miljøgate Andenes. Strekningen er deler av Storgata fra flyplasskrysset og til krysset ved Nordlandsbanken. Planarbeidet er gjort etter avtale med og i samråd med Andøy kommune. Hensikten med planarbeidet er å legge til rette for oppstramming av trafikale forhold langs Storgata på denne strekningen, samt bedring av forholdene for de myke trafikkantene med utvidelse og oppgradering av fortau og sikring av fotgjengeroverganger. Lokalisering av busstopp og parkeringslommer inngår også. Total lengde er ca 1 km. Prosjektet inngår som en del av trafikksikkerhetsarbeidet i Andenes sentrum. Arbeidet forutsettes gjort samtidig som kommunen foretar utskifting av sitt vann og avløpsnett som ligger i Storgata. Byggestart er avhengig av fylkeskommunale bevilgninger. Det er tidligere utarbeidet et planhefte som tar for seg saksbehandlingen fram til planen er utlagt til offentlig ettersyn, jf innholdsfortegnelsen 1-2. Etter at planen har vært utlagt til offentlig ettersyn i tiden 26.06 – 15.08.09 er det totalt innkommet 7 merknader til planforslaget med bestemmelser. Statens vegvesen har gjennomgått og kommentert disse. Etter avtale med kommunen ble det arrangert et informasjonsmøte om planen den 1.oktober 2009. Det foreligger i alt 7 innspill etter dette møtet. I tillegg har det vært drøftet med kommunen ulike detaljløsninger i planen. Planen er revidert 01.11.09 og gjennomgått med kommunen i møte 10.11.09. Det er ikke fremmet innsigelse til planen og dette medfører etter Statens vegvesen sitt syn at planen kan egengodkjennes av kommunestyret.

    A Rb-Sr age study from the Mosjøen unit, Helgeland Nappe Complex, and its bearing on the timing of tectonometamorphic events within the Uppermost Allochthon, Central Scandinavian Caledonides, Norway B. O. TØRUOBAKKEN & M. MICKELSON Tørudbakken, B. O. & Mickelson, M.: A Rb-Sr age study from the Mosjøen unit, Helgeland Nappe Complex and its bearing on the timing of tectonometamorphic events within the Uppermost Al­ lochthon, CentralScandinavian Caledonides, Norway.Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 66, pp. 263- 270. Oslo 1986. ISSN 0029-196X. The Mosjøen unit within the Helgeland Nappe Complex is made up of a polydeformed supracrustal sequence consisting mainly of greenschists, greenstones and layers of calcite and dolomite marbles, which have been intruded by large masses of igneous rocks ranging in composition from gabbroic to granitic. The main structural elements and the metamorphic maximum are related to the 02- deformation. The Mosjøen gabbro, yielding an igneous Rb-Sr mineral isochron age of 420 ± 8 m.y. (10 = .70412 ± .00003), was emplaced during the 02 event. A 433 ± 11 m.y. total rock Rb-Sr isochron was obtained for a granitic dyke crosscutting the 02 structures. The geochronological data are inter­ preted to indicate a Silurian age for the main tectonometamorphic event (02) in the Mosjøen unit. Previous geochronological studies from other parts of the Uppermost AUochthon demonstrate strong early Caledonian (late Cambrian to early Ordovician) metamorphism and deformation prior to Sil­ urian deformation. The present tectonostratigraphic sequence within the Uppermost Allochthon was established during the main Caledonian thrusting event in the late Silurian to early Oevonian. B. O. Tørudbakken & M.

  • Rapport Om Regionale Konsekvenser Av En Endring Av Lufthavnstrukturen På Helgeland
    Høring - rapport om regionale konsekvenser av en endring av lufthavnstrukturen på Helgeland Urbanet Analyse I rapporten til Urbanet Analyse mener jeg at det er gjort feil! Hvorfor bruker ikke Urbanet Analyse tallene fra Avinors Trafikkstatistikk for å beregne Trafikkprognoser og kalkyler? (Står ikke på kildelisten) Dette mener jeg blir lite seriøst. Her kan man sammenligne med steder med noenlunde like mange innbyggere i influensområde. https://www.regjeringen.no/contentassets/5816924ad9b243dfb3b7610c8fd1efff/lufthavnstruktur_helgel and_trafikkanalyser.pdf Hvis man legger til grunn influensområde MJF og MQN, så hadde de samlet en befolkning på 52492 per 31/12-14 (Dette er unntatt Meløy som hadde 6454 innbyggere, og blir ofte medregnet til Salten istedenfor Helgeland). Dette er noen færre enn f.eks Romsdal og influensområde MOL. Ihht SSB for januar 2015 hadde Nord-Helgeland, kommunenummer 18281837 (Nesna, Hemnes, Rana, Lurøy, Træna, Rødøy og Meløy), 42603 innbyggere. Det er over halvparten av innbyggerne på Helgeland. https://avinor.no/konsern/om-oss/trafikkstatistikk/#!trafikkstatistikk-6221 Andre flyplasser man kan sammenligne trafikktallene med er ALF, BDU, KKN og KSU. Alle disse lufthavnene som jeg refererer til her ligger langt over de beregninger som gjøres for en ny stor flyplass i Mo i Rana. Hvis disse flyplassene ikke er sammenlignbare, så bør det begrunnes utdypende mener jeg! Legger selvfølgelig til grunn at flyplassen i Mosjøen legges ned for kommersiell drift, slik Avinor og NTP tidligere har beskrevet. Handelshøgskolen i Bodø (SIB AS) Det er laget gode rapporter tidligere, som sier noe helt annet! (SIB-rapport 1/2008) Dette samsvarer med hva jeg også mener er riktig å sammenligne med.

Some highlights: New organizational structure Pilot project for Marine Base Maps in Norway Digital Nautical Publications New Hydrographic Infrastructure Continued high activity in the Mareano project in both coastal and open sea arctic areas COVID-19 1. Hydrographic Office 2020 has been yet another eventful and challenging year for the Norwegian Hydrographic Service (NHS), and indeed for the entire Norwegian Mapping Authority, of which we are a part. 2020 started as normal, but in March, Covid affected us in Norway as it did the rest of the world. As of March 13, we went in to a national lock down in Norway. At the NHS we were all sent home, our survey vessel M/S Hydrograf was ordered to port, and the crew sent home. The next few weeks were quite chaotic. Not all of our employees were able to work from home. Some of our production systems were not adapted to working online, and some of the data we handle are subject to restrictions making it illegal to work on them via the internet. Our IT department and some of our software suppliers worked around the clock, and within a matter of weeks our production line was operational again albeit at a slightly reduced rate. A gradual return to the office was planned for August, but due to a flare up in Covid cases after the summer holidays, the return was postponed, and as of October, most of our employees have again been working from home.

  • The Nickel Mineralizationof the Rana Mafic Intrusion, Nordland, Norway
    • THE NICKEL MINERALIZATIONOF THE RANA MAFIC INTRUSION, NORDLAND, NORWAY. Rognvald Boyd and Carl 0. Mathiesen Norges geologiskeundersøkelse,Postboks 3006, 7001 Trondheim, Norway. NORGES GEOLOGISKE UNDERSØKELSE ABSTRACT The Råna synorogenicCaledonide intrusion in north Norway contains pentlandite+pyrrhotite+chalcopyrite+pyritedisseminationsgrading up tO 0.8% sulfide nickel in peridotite in the northwesternpart of the body. Peridotite and pyroxenite occur as bands and lenses within a peripheral zone mainly of norite, around a core mainly of quartz-norite.Crystal settling appears to have been an important process at Råna but over much of the intrusion primary structureshave been severely disturbed by the later Caledonian fold phases which also involved local overthrusting: these movements resulted in iniolding and thrustingof units of semipel- itic and calesilicate gneiss and black schist into the intrusion.The body has the form of an inverted, possibly truncated cone with its axiS plunging northwestwardsat a moderate angle. The peridotites show no obvioUs systematicvariation of sulfide or silicate mineralogy across strike. Locally, ass&iated with certain deformation zones, disseminationpasses into ma3sive mobilized sulfide ti with up to 5% nickel. The proximity of sulfide-bearingblack schists to mineralized rocks, the occurrence of graphite djsseminated in peridotite and other factors, suggest assimilationof sulfur from the Country rocks. Sulfur isotope studies do not, however, offer confirmationof the hypo- thesis that an external source ot sulfur nas had more than very local significanceat Råna. 1 NORGES GEOLOGISKE UNDERSØKELSE • INTRODUCTION The Råna mafic intrusion lies at approximately68°30'N, in steep mountainous terrain 20 km soutnwest of the iron-ore port of Narvik in north Norway (Fig.1).The present paper will give a brief description of the general geology of the complex, with a more detailed consider- ation of the sulfide-bearingareas - especially the main one at Bruvann (Fig.2) - and of the cenetic implicationsinvolved.
