We are very pleased that you have now arrived safely to Bergen and the Marken guesthouse. We hope that your travel from China and USA was pleasant. We are proud to welcome you to the second edition of the Maritime Bergen Law Summer Programme. We believe it will be two informative, interesting and intense weeks where you will get introduced to Maritime Law in abroad sense, and where you will gain insight into the Maritime Business going on in Bergen and the wider Bergen region. In addition to the knowledge you will gain, we also hope you will make new friendships and that Chinese, American and Norwegian students will learn from each other and form networks that will prove to be valuable in your future careers. We are looking forward to seeing you Sunday 4 August for a social get together where we can start to get to know each other and lay the foundation for a good atmosphere and blooming friendships over the coming two weeks. The programme starts with a social and adventurous gathering on Sunday 4 August so that we can start to get to know each other before the official programme starts on Monday. We will pick you up at the guesthouse at 10:15 am. You will be taken by bus to Høyt & Lavt, which is Western Norway’s largest climbing park. We will arrive at the park at approximately 11:00 am, where we will help each other through climbing routes of different level of difficulty. We will have lunch at the park, before the bus will take us back to the city and guesthouse at 15:00 am.

  • Discovery of Highly Radioactive Granite in the Bergen Region
    NORWEGIAN JOURNAL OF GEOLOGY Vol 96 Nr. 4 (2016) http://dx.doi.org/10.17850/njg96-4-03 Discovery of highly radioactive granite in the Bergen Region Christophe Pascal1,2 & Therese Rudlang3 1NGU, Geological Survey of Norway, Post Box 6315 Sluppen, 7491 Trondheim, Norway. 2Institute of Geology, Mineralogy and Geophysics, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany. 3NTNU, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 7491 Trondheim, Norway. E-mail corresponding author (Christophe Pascal): [email protected] We report the discovery of the most radioactive granite ever found in Norway, namely the Løvstakken granite, located ~5 km southwest of Bergen. A preliminary gamma-spectrometry survey carried out in the Bergen Region, in autumn 2009, showed that the Løvstakken granite contained unusually high amounts of uranium and thorium. This finding was later confirmed by a more complete regional survey during the summer of 2010. We visited 281 sites and made 502 radiometric measurements in the Bergen Region and adjacent areas. Based on 87 measurements on the Løvstakken granite, we found that it contains ~18 ppm U, ~58 ppm Th and ~6% K on average (median values). Natural radioactivity is not harmful by itself, but the high uranium levels of the Løvstakken granite (i.e., up to ~69 ppm) cause concern in terms of radon hazard. In addition, geothermal gradients in the continental crust are strongly dependent on the amount of radioactive (i.e., heat-producing) elements it hosts. Our study indicates that the Løvstakken granite produces ~8 mW/m3 of heat. Such high heat-generation values may result in anomalously high temperatures in the subsurface of the Bergen Region, that in turn may render the use of geothermal energy economically interesting.

  • Glaciotectonic Structure and Genesis of the Herdla Moraines, Western Norway
    Glaciotectonic structure and genesis of the Herdla Moraines, western Norway JAMES S. ABER & INGE AARSETH Aber, J. S. & Aarseth, 1.: Glaciotectonic structure and genesis of the Herdla Moraines, western Norway. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 68, pp. 99-106. Oslo 1988. ISSN 0029-196X. At its type locality, glaciomarine sediment of the Herdla Moraines was deformed and consolidated by overriding ice. Two phases of moraine development took place in conjunction with ice movement coming first from the east-northeast and later from the southeast. The early phase is related to development of a local ice dome on Stølsheimen during the middle Younger Dryas (about 10,500 BP), when the ice sheet reached its late glacial maximum thickness in the region. The ice sheet then thinned rapidly, due to climatic amelioration and increased calving, and shifted to southeasterly movement at Herdla. Most glaciotectonic disturbance and consolidation of sediment at Herdla happened during this late phase, perhaps as a result of a glacier surge along Herdlafjord. The glaciotectonic structures at Herdla are local in character and cannot be used for regional correlation of glacial advances in western Norway. J. S. Aber, Earth Science Department, Emporia State University, Emporia, Kansas, 66801, USA; l. Aarseth, Universitetet i Bergen, Geologisk Institutt, Avd. B. A/legt, 41. N-5007 Bergen, Norway. Y ounger Dry as moraines of western Norway Aarseth & Mangerud (1974) defined the Herdla Moraines as a morphostratigraphic unit with a type locality at Herdla island (Fig. 1). Sediments of the Herdla Moraines are part of a conspicuous system of ice marginal deposits of Younger Dryas age (10,000-11,000 BP) that has been mapped around the periphery of southern and western Norway (Mangerud et al.
