His work is inspired by the ever-changing landscape along the Norwegian coast, and his dramatic depictions of coastal landscapes have caused him to be described as a contemporary Romantic painter. The Norwegian Sea was painted during a cruise with the research vessel G.O. Sars in 2004. Ørnulf Opdahl accompanied a team of 60 researchers from 13 countries on a two-month expedition to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge as part of the MAR-ECO project. The purpose of the expedition was to enhance understanding of the distribution and ecology of marine animal communities. In previous centuries, before the invention of photography, artists often accompanied scientifi c expeditions to document their scientifi c fi ndings.

  • Revision of the EU's Arctic Strategy
    Sent by e-mail Breivikbotn, November 9th 2020 Input – Revision of the EU’s Arctic strategy Additional input from a total of 40 municipalities in North Norway, to the public consultation regarding the revision of the EU’s Arctic strategy. The municipalities are represented by 5 inter- municipal counsils; Vest-Finnmark Rådet (7 municipalities in Troms and Finnmark County), Vesterålen regionråd (6 municipalities in Nordland County), Salten Regionråd (10 municipalities in Nordland County), Indre Helgeland Regionråd (5 municipalities in Nordland County) and Helgelandsrådet (12 municipalities in Nordland County); 1. In your view, what have been the EU’s main achievements and failures under each of the three priorities in the 2016 Joint Communication? Vest-Finnmark Rådet, Vesterålen regionråd, Salten Regionråd, Indre Helgeland Regionråd and Helgelandsrådet embraces the EU’s engagement in promoting sustainable development in the Arctic. This priority marks a positive shift in how the Arctic is perceived as a strategically important territory, with green growth potential for the region and Europe. The EU’s top priority should be to assist the region in overcoming the Arctic paradox. That is, changing a demographic trend that is inversely correlated with economic growth. A stable demographic development is a necessary precondition for development and security in the Arctic regions. The most important means of meeting regional challenges in the Nordic/European part of the Arctic is by making use of the large natural resources in the region to stimulate economic growth and create new attractive jobs including utilizing the research institutions in the Arctic. The EU’s Arctic engagement shows great achievement, as exemplified by the processes leading to the report on Arctic investment needs in 2017, and the EU Arctic Forum in 2019.

  • Marine Current Energy Conversion
    Marine Current Energy Conversion Resource and Technology MÅRTEN GRABBE UURIE 309-09L ISSN 0349-8352 Division of Electricity Department of Engineering Sciences Uppsala, December 2008 Abstract Research in the area of energy conversion from marine currents has been car- ried out at the Division of Electricity for several years. The focus has been to develop a simple and robust system for converting the kinetic energy in freely flowing water to electricity. The concept is based on a vertical axis turbine di- rectly coupled to a permanent magnet synchronous generator that is designed to match the characteristics of the resource. During this thesis work a pro- totype of such a variable speed generator, rated at 5 kW at 10 rpm, has been constructed to validate previous finite element simulations. Experiments show that the generator is well balanced and that there is reasonable agreement be- tween measurements and corresponding simulations, both at the nominal op- erating point and at variable speed and variable load operation from 2–16 rpm. It is shown that the generator can accommodate operation at fixed tip speed ratio with different fixed pitch vertical axis turbines in current velocities of 0.5–2.5 m/s. The generator has also been tested under diode rectifier opera- tion where it has been interconnected with a second generator on a common DC-bus similar to how several units could be connected in offshore operation. The conditions for marine current energy conversion in Norway have been investigated based on available data in pilot books and published literature. During this review work more than 100 sites have been identified as interest- ing with an estimated total theoretical resource—i.e.

    A Frame - for community, celebration and everyday life Diploma program FALL 2017 Jon Bjørn Dundas Morå Main Supervisor: Catherine Sunter Institute of Architecture Fauske Population: Fauske City: 6 138 Fauske Municipality: 9729 Fauske is a town and municipality located in Nordland county, Norway. It is part of the traditional district of Salten. The administrative centre of the municipality is the town of Fauske. Other villages include Nystad, Straumsnes, and Sulitjelma. The municipality borders Sweden in the east and the municipalities of Sørfold to the north, Bodø to the west, and Saltdal to the southeast. The town is located on the northern shore of Skjerstad Fjord. The Coat of arms was chosen to represent Fauske’s legacy as a center for trade and transportation along the fjord. There are several Marble quarries located in the municipality, which alongside Salten Kraftsamband and Fauske Lysverk make up the largest employers in the area. Source: Wikipedia Fauske is a community teeming with activity behind closed doors. Cafés and classrooms are home to clubs of everything from radio enthusiasts to dance troupes. A clarinet case on the bus, or an antiquated military jeep passing you on the street might be your only clues to the life transpiring around you. The activities are shaped by the space in which they are performed. Can these everyday activities be made extraordinary simply by providing a new spatial context for the performance? Fauske Municipality has for several years desired a community center for it’s cultural activities. Rodeo and Dyrø Moen architects won a competition for a new “Allaktivitetshus” in Fauske back in 2008 titled “Turbinen”1 The estimated size of their proposal was 4000m2 containing a very broad program: Multipurpose hall, cinema, Library, Youth center, offices and more.

Nature decides both how and when to do things. National parks are established in order to protect large natural areas – from the coast to the mountains. This is done for the benefit of nature itself, for our sake and for generations to come. The national parks offer a wide range of opportunities and experiences. The natural surroundings are beautiful and varied. There is hunting, fishing, plants, birds, animals and cultural monuments. Accept our invitation – become acquainted with nature and our national parks. ldebyrå, Trond Loge. Front page: Solvågtind Directorate for Nature Management www.dirnat.no 3 o Junkerdal National Park An inspired area In Junkerdal National Park not only the animals and plants are alive, but also the mountains. Sami culture and tradition have left behind a wealth of traces and stories linked to the region. In old Sami culture, plants, animals and special places all possessed souls and had a considerable signi- ficance for the day-to-day life. At the edge of the national park is the highest frontier mountain in the country, the 1,776 meters high Nordsaulo. In Sami belief, this mountain was a guardian. The landscape in Junkerdal National Park provides an environment for an extremely diverse flora with a great many rare plants. The white mountain saxi- frage (Saxifraga paniculata), is found in only a few places in Norway, and of these, it is most widely distributed in Junkerdal National Park.
