Eide NINAs publikasjoner NINA Rapport Dette er en elektronisk serie fra 2005 som erstatter de tidligere seriene NINA Fagrapport, NINA Oppdragsmelding og NINA Project Report. Normalt er dette NINAs rapportering til oppdragsgiver etter gjennomført forsknings-, overvåkings- eller utredningsarbeid. I tillegg vil serien favne mye av instituttets øvrige rapportering, for eksempel fra seminarer og konferanser, resultater av eget forsk- nings- og utredningsarbeid og litteraturstudier. NINA Rapport kan også utgis på annet språk når det er hensiktsmessig. NINA Temahefte Som navnet angir behandler temaheftene spesielle emner. Heftene utarbeides etter behov og seri- en favner svært vidt; fra systematiske bestemmelsesnøkler til informasjon om viktige problemstil- linger i samfunnet. NINA Temahefte gis vanligvis en populærvitenskapelig form med mer vekt på illustrasjoner enn NINA Rapport. NINA Fakta Faktaarkene har som mål å gjøre NINAs forskningsresultater raskt og enkelt tilgjengelig for et større publikum. De sendes til presse, ideelle organisasjoner, naturforvaltningen på ulike nivå, politikere og andre spesielt interesserte. Faktaarkene gir en kort framstilling av noen av våre viktigste forsk- ningstema. Annen publisering I tillegg til rapporteringen i NINAs egne serier publiserer instituttets ansatte en stor del av sine vi- tenskapelige resultater i internasjonale journaler, populærfaglige bøker og tidsskrifter.

  • Kodiak 18 Bear Essentials
    The Grizzlies of Kodiak: up close and personal An unique, exclusive, six person photographic experience to the remote bear habitat of Alaska’s Kodiak Island with Andy Skillen. September 2018 GBP6,595; US$8,350 (based on double occupancy) The Bear Essentials… The largest bear ever killed in North America was from Kodiak Island with a total skull size of 30.75 in (78.1 cm), and 8 of the top 10 brown bears listed in the Boone and Crockett record book are from Kodiak. The Kodiak Brown Bear (Ursus arctos middendorffi), is the largest subspecies of brown bear. These bears can weigh up to 1500 lb. (682 kg) or more and they occupy the islands of the Kodiak Archipelago in Southwestern Alaska. The bears’ traditional name in the Alutiiq language is Taquka-aq (Tah-goo-kuk) Taxonomy Taxonomist C.H. Merriam was the first to recognize Kodiak bears as unique and he named the species in honor of the celebrated Russian naturalist Dr. A. Th. von Middendorff. Subsequent taxonomic revisions merged most North American brown bears into a single subspecies (Ursus arctos horribilis), but Kodiak bears are still considered to be a unique subspecies (Ursus arctos middendorffi). Recent investigations of genetic samples from bears on Kodiak have shown that they are closely related to brown bears on the Alaska Peninsula and Kamchatka, Russia. It appears that Kodiak bears have been genetically isolated since at least the last ice age (10,000 to 12,000 years ago) and there is very little genetic diversity within the population. Although the current population is healthy and productive and has shown no overt adverse signs of inbreeding, it may be more susceptible to new diseases or parasites than other more diverse brown bear populations.

  • Deepp Patel 5/1/15 Polar Bears and Kodiak Bears Kodiak Bears And
    Deepp Patel 5/1/15 Polar Bears and Kodiak Bears Kodiak bears and Polar bears are alike and different in many ways. They both are the largest bear families. They both eat animals but eat different things. Kodiak bears and Polar bears don’t live near each other. However they both live in the same hemisphere. Kodiak bears and Polar bears have a large appearance. They both are the two largest bear families. Polar bears appear white but the fur is actually transparent, but on the other hand Kodiak bears have color that ranges from blonde to orange to dark brown fur. Kodiak bear females are 500-700 pounds, but Polar bear females are 330-650 pounds. Kodiak bear males are 800-1500, however Polar bear males are 755-1600 pounds. The average Kodiak bear male is eight feet up to ten feet tall, but on the other hand Polar bears may be up to 12 feet tall. Polar bears and Kodiak bears both have cubs. The two kinds of cubs live in dens Kodiak cubs are born during January or February, but Polar cubs are born during November to January. Both kinds of cubs stay with their mother for a few years. Kodiak cubs stay with their mother for three years but Polar cubs stay a little over two years. A typical Kodiak bear litter has 2 or 3 cubs but a typical Polar bear litter has 1 to 2 cubs. Kodiak bears and Polar bears eat a lot of things. They both eat animals. They both are carnivores too.

Bakgrunnen til alle anleggene er beskrevet og alle sikringsanleggene er vist på oversiktskart. De anleggene som har behov for vedlikehold, reparasjon eller miljømessig oppgradering er beskrevet nærmere. For disse anleggene er det laget tiltaksbeskrivelse, detaljerte kart og kostnadsoverslag. Emneord: Flom, erosjon, sikringstiltak, erosjonssikringstiltak, miljøtiltak kvikkleire, kvikkleireras. Sammendrag I all tid har det gått store ras langs Namsen. Etter store skred i Namsen i 1959 og registrering av erosjonstilstanden i vassdraget i 1961, ble det i 1960 og 70-årene gjennomført et storstilt forbyggingsprogram i Namsen for å sikre mot videre erosjon og utrasing. I det store og dype elvefaret tillot ikke utstyr og arbeidsmetoder den gang en tilstrekkelige god utførelse av forbygningene. Det ble heller ikke lagt særlig vekt på istandsetting og tilrettelegging av adkomstvegen, landskap og miljø. I dag er et stort antall av de gamle forbygningene skadet og trenger reparasjon og miljømessig opprusting.
