We have also deduced a new model based on the ‘seismic pumping’ mechanism to explain the observed correlation between land uplift and groundwater yield in Norway. Rock avalanches and landslides represent the most hazardous effects of earthquakes in Norway with its mountainous terrain, deep fjords and relatively large areas with unstable quick-clay. New seismic mini-arrays in the Ranafjord area and the northern North Sea have sharply defined zones of increased seismicity. A total of 350 earthquakes have been detected in the outer Ranafjord area during the project period (2½ years), with magnitudes up to 2.8.

Skjomen stasjon er et fjellanlegg fra 1973, og både kontrollanlegg og dagens gassisolerte (GIS) anlegg har høy alder og har passert teknisk levetid. Dagens koblingsanlegg er plassert i fjell, og i samme fjellhall er også Skjomen kraftstasjon som er eid av Statkraft. Det er stor risiko for mangel på reservedeler og kompetanse ved feil på anlegget. Stasjonstomten er meget liten og ligger i bratt terreng. Statnett ønsker å bygge et nytt stasjonsbygg i Skjomen som inneholder både et nytt GIS koplingsanlegg og et nytt kontrollanlegg. Konsesjonssøknaden oversendes Norges vassdrags- og energidirektorat (NVE) til behandling.

Box 1870 N-5024 Bergen, Norway ABSTRACT The spawning stock ofNorwegian spawning herring has been surveyed when wintering in the Vestfjord, Tysfjord, and Ofotfjord, in northern Norway in December 1996. Tbe basic method is that of echo integration, with compensation for acoustic extinction. Physical capture has been effected by means of the MultisampIer pelagic trawl, which allows remote opening and • closing of each of three codends at arbitrary depths. This has shown essentially thorough mixing of the dominant year classes except in the two fjord arms, where the sampIes contained a larger proportion of older fish (1983 year class). Geostatistics has been employed to describe the spatial structure and to provide an estimate of variance. Data quality control procedures have been performed and are described. 1 e-mail: [email protected] teU: +47 55 23 84 65 fax; +47 55 23 85 32 2 e-mail: [email protected] telf: +47 55 23 6848 fax: +4755 23 83 32 3 e-mail: [email protected]· telf: +47 55238404 fax: +47 55 23 86 87 4 e-mail: [email protected] telf; +4755 23 84 22 fax: +4755 23 86 87 - .. _------------ INTRODUCTION The spawning stock ofNorwegian spring spawning'heinri~'~~'been wintering in the _fjords of northern Norway since 1987.

  • The Lillevik Dyke Complex, Narvik: Geochemistry and Tectonic Implications of a Probable Ophiolite Fragment in the Caledonides of the Ofoten Region, North Norway
    The Lillevik dyke complex, Narvik: geochemistry and tectonic implications of a probable ophiolite fragment in the Caledonides of the Ofoten region, North Norway ROGNVALD BOYD Boyd, R.: The Lillevik dyke complex, Narvik: geochemistry and tectonic implications of a probable ophiolite fragment in the Caledonides of the Ofoten region, North Norway. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 63, pp. 39-54. Oslo 1983, ISSN 0029-196X. The Lillevik dyke complex occurs in an allochthonous unit and shows field relationships indicative of a transition from the mafic cumulate to the sheeted dyke zone in a segment of an ophiolite. Major and trace element chemistry confirm the MORB character of most of the diabases. Certain diabase, gabbro and trondhjemite dykes have REE patterns suggesting a later stage of ocean-island volcanism. The Lillevik complex and equivalent bodies along strike on the eastern limb of the Ofoten synform are a probable source for the mafic facies of the overlying Elvenes Conglomerate. Analogies with other areas suggest that the Lillevik complex was obducted during the Finnmarkian orogeny. R. Boyd, Norges geologiske undersøkelse, Postboks 3006, N-7001 Trondheim, Norway.

Kartleggingen har som formål å gi en oversikt over utbredelsen og typen av løsmasser i området samt prosesser som virker på disse og som kan forårsake skred. Identifisering av tidligere skred og områder hvor det foregår aktiv erosjon er vektlagt. Resultatene danner et grunnlag for videre geotekniske undersøkelser, skredfarevurderinger og sikringstiltak. Kartleggingen viser at finkornige hav- og fjordavsetninger finnes flere steder i det kartlagte området, hovedsakelig langs og på dalsidene, men også enkelte steder hvor Elvegårdselva og Prestjordelva har erodert ned i slike avsetninger. Det er hovedsaklig langs disse elvene det er aktiv erosjon i dag. Ellers er det kartlagt større områder med breelv og elveavsetninger, samt strandavsetninger i overflaten. Finkornige hav- og fjordavsetninger ligger trolig under disse flere steder og på varierende dyp. Selve Bjerkvik sentrum ligger oppå grovere elveavsetninger (delta) med tykkelse på ~5 - > 15 m. Større breelvavsetninger finnes lengst i nord ved Storskogmoen og i øst ved Elvegårdsmoen. Spor av tidligere skredaktivitet i hav- og fjordavsetninger er kartlagt i områdene Rapdalen, Elvelund og Myrvang.

    NARVIK – Norwegian Eldorado for wreck-divers Wrecks of Narvik Text by Erling Skjold (history and diving) and Frank Bang (diving) Underwater photography by Frank Bang Ship photography by Erling Skjolds, NSA collection Translation by Michael Symes Dieter von Roeder The port of Narvik in north Norway was established around the export of iron-ore from Sweden. This was due to the very good harbour and its ice-free con- ditions. At the outbreak of World War II, Narvik was a strategically important harbour, and during the first few days of the war a very intense battle was fought out here between German, Norwegian and British naval forces. During this fighting several ships were sunk, both warships and civil merchant ships. Narvik harbour was transformed into a great ship ceme- tery, with wrecks sticking up out of the water every- where. Several of the ships were later salvaged, but many wrecks still remained. With its high density of wrecks, Narvik is an eldorado for wreck divers.
