  • Assessment of Glaciological Parameters Using Landsat Sat- Ellite Data in Svartisen, Northern Norway
    ASSESSMENT OF GLACIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS USING LANDSAT SAT- ELLITE DATA IN SVARTISEN, NORTHERN NORWAY J. Heiskanen1, K. Kajuutti1, M. Jackson2, H. Elvehøy2 and P. Pellikka3 1. Department of Geography, University of Turku, FIN-20014 Turku, Finland tel: +358-2-3335596,fax: +358-2-333-5896, [email protected] 2. Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate, Oslo, Norway 3. Department of Geography, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to assess mass balance related glaciological parameters using Landsat data in Svartisen, in northern Norway. Four Landsat (ETM+ 2001 and 1999, TM 1994 and MSS 1978) scenes were used in order to classify the glacier into zones of ice, firn and snow using maximum likelihood classifier. The pre-processing of the data included ortho-rectification, topographic correc- tion and relative radiometric normalisation. Glacier borders were delineated and classifications were used for the assessment of snowline and AAR (accumulation area ratio), which were compared to in situ front position and net balance measurements. The Landsat 7 ETM+ thermal infrared band was found to be an effective means to separate glacier and surroundings, even in the areas of very pro- nounced topographic effect and shade. Classifications were considered to be accurate because of the simple classification scheme used and good differentiation between classes. Visual interpretation of the snowline was found to be essential. A good fit between mass balance measurements and as- sessed snowline and AAR was found. The results showed also that the pre-processing methods used could increase the value of the data, and that meteorological data is crucial in order to assess the suitability of the acquisition date.

  • Forslag Om Utvidelse Og Revisjon Av Saltfjellet-Svartisen Nasjonalpark
    KONGELIG RESOLUSJON Klima- og miljødepartementet Ref.nr.: Statsråd: Sveinung Rotevatn Saksnr.: 18/141 Dato: 16. oktober 2020 Fastsetting av forskrifter om vern av nasjonalpark, landskapsvernområder og naturreservater i Nordland 1 FORSLAG Klima- og miljødepartementet legger med dette frem forslag om fastsettelse av (foreslått endring i areal i parentes): - Forskrift om vern av Saltfjellet-Svartisen nasjonalpark i Beiarn, Bodø, Meløy, Rana, Rødøy og Saltdal kommuner (+ 90 km2, totalt vernet 2192 km2) - Forskrift om vern av Nattmoråga landskapsvernområde i Rana og Rødøy kommuner (+9,3 km2) - Forskrift om vern av Saltfjellet landskapsvernområde med biotopvern for fjellrev i Saltdal og Rana kommuner (-12,6 km2) - Forskrift om vern av Gåsvatnan landskapsvernområde i Beiarn, Bodø og Saltdal kommuner (+1,08 km2) - Forskrift om vern av Dypen naturreservat i Saltdal kommune (0 km2) - Forskrift om vern av Semska-Stødi naturreservat i Saltdal kommune (0 km2) - Forskrift om vern av Blakkådalen naturreservat i Rana kommune (+19,2 km2) - Forskrift om vern Fisktjønna naturreservat i Rana kommune (0 km2) Nattmoråga er et nytt verneområde. Øvrige forskrifter gjelder endringer i eksisterende verneområder. I forskrift om vern av Saltfjellet-Svartisen nasjonalpark foreslås det å oppheve forskrift om fredning av Storlia naturreservat (- 23,5 km2). Området innlemmes samtidig i Saltfjellet-Svartisen nasjonalpark. Departementet viser til kapittel 5 for en oversikt over øvrige forskrifter som foreslås opphevet. Verneforslaget medfører at vernet areal totalt øker med 84,56 km2, hvorav ca. 94 % er statlig eid eiendom, og ca. 6 % er privat eid. 1.1 Bakgrunn Saltfjellet-Svartisen nasjonalpark ble opprettet ved kongelig resolusjon 8. september 1989. Samtidig ble Gåsvatnan landskapsvernområde, Saltfjellet landskapsvernområde og Storlia naturreservat opprettet.

  • 'Little Ice Age Glacier' Inventory for the North Atlantic Sector
    Table S1. A ‘Little Ice Age glacier’ inventory for the North Atlantic sector. The Little Ice Age glacier inventory listed below contains information on the glaciers used in Figure 2. The geographical locations of the different records are marked in Figure 1 with blue dots. The inventory contains information on region, name of site, name of glacier, latitude of the glacier, time of major advances with associated uncertainty, a short description of the dating technique used for dating the glacier position during the LIA, and reference to the corresponding study/studies. Although the list by no means includes all published records of LIA glacier advances we still argue that they are representative for glacier activity that occurred in the North Atlantic sector. Excellent compilations of LIA glacier activity in Alaska, Canada and USA during the last millennium(1) Barclay, Wiles and Calkin 2009, 2) Briner, Thompson Davis and Miller 2009, 3) Calkin, Wiles and Barclay 2001, 4) Luckman 2000, 5) Menounos, Osborn, Clague and Luckman 2009, 6) Reyes, et al. 2006, 7) Wiles, Barclay, Calkin and Lowell 2008 are not shown in the table, but these records basically show results similar to those presented in Figure 2.

  • NORDLAND a Continuationofthelofoten Archipelago Thatbelongstothecountyoftroms
    © Lonely Planet Publications 290 Nordland There’s a difficult choice to make as you head north. The spectacular Kystriksveien coastal route, ferry hopping and perhaps detouring to take in a glacier and offshore island or two? Or the almost-as-stunning inland Arctic Highway, more direct but still lightly trafficked? Whichever you choose, try to build in time to take in Lofoten, a necklace of offshore islands with razor-sharp peaks and Caribbean-coloured bays. Here, cod is still king, as manifested in the small fishing museums, rorbuer (fishing cabins – literally ‘rowers’ dwellings’) and rickety NORDLAND NORDLAND drying frames. Connected by bridges and with reasonable public transport, the islands are easy to hop around. Then again, you may want to linger and hire a bike or pull on your boots; the cycling can even be done by softies and the hiking is as gentle or as tough as you care to make it. Push further north to Andenes, at the northern tip of Andøya, a continuation of the Lofoten archipelago, and you’ll enjoy the best whale watching in all Norway. As you move northwards through the long, narrow Nordland region, the crossing of the Arctic Circle is almost palpable; fields give way to lakes and forests, vistas open up, summits sharpen and the tree line descends ever lower on the mountainsides.
