  • The Nickel Mineralizationof the Rana Mafic Intrusion, Nordland, Norway
    • THE NICKEL MINERALIZATIONOF THE RANA MAFIC INTRUSION, NORDLAND, NORWAY. Rognvald Boyd and Carl 0. Mathiesen Norges geologiskeundersøkelse,Postboks 3006, 7001 Trondheim, Norway. NORGES GEOLOGISKE UNDERSØKELSE ABSTRACT The Råna synorogenicCaledonide intrusion in north Norway contains pentlandite+pyrrhotite+chalcopyrite+pyritedisseminationsgrading up tO 0.8% sulfide nickel in peridotite in the northwesternpart of the body. Peridotite and pyroxenite occur as bands and lenses within a peripheral zone mainly of norite, around a core mainly of quartz-norite.Crystal settling appears to have been an important process at Råna but over much of the intrusion primary structureshave been severely disturbed by the later Caledonian fold phases which also involved local overthrusting: these movements resulted in iniolding and thrustingof units of semipel- itic and calesilicate gneiss and black schist into the intrusion.The body has the form of an inverted, possibly truncated cone with its axiS plunging northwestwardsat a moderate angle. The peridotites show no obvioUs systematicvariation of sulfide or silicate mineralogy across strike. Locally, ass&iated with certain deformation zones, disseminationpasses into ma3sive mobilized sulfide ti with up to 5% nickel. The proximity of sulfide-bearingblack schists to mineralized rocks, the occurrence of graphite djsseminated in peridotite and other factors, suggest assimilationof sulfur from the Country rocks. Sulfur isotope studies do not, however, offer confirmationof the hypo- thesis that an external source ot sulfur nas had more than very local significanceat Råna. 1 NORGES GEOLOGISKE UNDERSØKELSE • INTRODUCTION The Råna mafic intrusion lies at approximately68°30'N, in steep mountainous terrain 20 km soutnwest of the iron-ore port of Narvik in north Norway (Fig.1).The present paper will give a brief description of the general geology of the complex, with a more detailed consider- ation of the sulfide-bearingareas - especially the main one at Bruvann (Fig.2) - and of the cenetic implicationsinvolved.

  • Oppdrag Til Fylkesmannen I Nordland – Tysfjord
    Kommunal- og moderniseringsdepartementet Saksb.: Robert Isaksen Postboks 8112 Dep e-post: [email protected] Tlf: 75531612 0032 OSLO Vår ref: 2017/3977 Deres ref: 17/2556 Vår dato: 23.06.2017 Deres dato: 16.06.2017 Arkivkode: 732.1 Oppdrag til Fylkesmannen i Nordland – Tysfjord Det vises til brev av 16.juni 2017, hvor Kommunal- og moderniseringsdepartementet ber Fylkesmannen i Nordland om å utarbeide et forslag til en plan for oppfølgingstiltak etter overgrepssakene i Tysfjord innen 23.juni 2017. I denne oversendelsen gjøres det rede for forslaget fra Fylkesmannen. Den korte tidsfristen har lagt begrensninger på Fylkesmannens mulighet til å involvere andre aktører i arbeidet. Fylkesmannen har mottatt et innspill fra Tysfjord Fellesliste. Innspillet ligger vedlagt dette brevet og kommer i tillegg til de forslag som Fylkesmannen har. Forslaget fra Fylkesmannen må betraktes som en foreløpig skisse til en plan for oppfølgingstiltak. I samarbeid med aktuelle fagmiljø og aktører vil det være behov for justeringer og utdyping av de enkelte punkter. Bakgrunn Tysfjord kommune har hatt utfordringer med avdekking av en rekke seksuelle overgrep. Disse har i stor grad foregått innenfor rammene av en taushetskultur med begrenset sjanse for å bli avslørt og straffeforfulgt. I juni 2016 skjedde imidlertid flere ting som utfordret denne taushetskulturen: 1. Reportasje i VG Helg lørdag den 11.juni 2016, der en rekke personer i Tysfjord fortalte om seksuelle overgrep, samt etterfølgende artikler i flere medier. 2. Enstemmig uttalelse fra Tysfjord kommune, jf. kommunestyremøte den 22.6.2016: «Tysfjord kommune vil beklage overfor ofrene som har opplevd overgrep. Tysfjord kommune erkjenner at dette er en utfordring for hele Tysfjord-samfunnet og vil ta avstand fra uttalelser som utpeker enkelte grupper og miljøer i kommunen.

  • Energy Supply Potentials in the Northern Counties of Finland, Norway and Sweden Towards Sustainable Nordic Electricity and Heating Sectors: a Review
    energies Review Energy Supply Potentials in the Northern Counties of Finland, Norway and Sweden towards Sustainable Nordic Electricity and Heating Sectors: A Review Robert Fischer * ID , Erik Elfgren and Andrea Toffolo Energy Engineering, Luleå University of Technology, SE-97187 Luleå, Sweden; [email protected] (E.E.); [email protected] (A.T.) * Correspondence: robert.fi[email protected]; Tel.: +46-920-49-1454 Received: 28 February 2018; Accepted: 23 March 2018; Published: 26 March 2018 Abstract: The lands in the northernmost corner of Europe present contradictory aspects in their social and economic development. Urban settlements are relatively few and small-sized, but rich natural resources (minerals, forests, rivers) attract energy-intensive industries. Energy demand is increasing as a result of new investments in mining and industries, while reliable energy supply is threatened by the planned phase out of Swedish nuclear power, the growth of intermittent power supplies and the need to reduce fossil fuel consumption, especially in the Finnish and Norwegian energy sectors. Given these challenges, this paper investigates the potentials of so far unexploited energy resources in the northern counties of Finland, Norway and Sweden by comparing and critically analyzing data from statistic databases, governmental reports, official websites, research projects and academic publications. The criteria for the technical and economic definition of potentials are discussed separately for each resource. It is concluded that, despite the factors that reduce the theoretical potentials, significant sustainable techno-economic potentials exist for most of the resources, providing important insights about the possible strategies to contribute to a positive socio-economic development in the considered regions.

  • The Cave Paintings of Norway
    Terje Norsted The Cave Paintings of Norway Introduction The Norwegian cave paintings form a geographically confined phenomenon. They are concen- trated in the two neighbouring counties of Nord-Trøndelag and Nordland which are in the north- ern region of the country. At the time of writing, twelve sites con- taining about 170 painted figures have been documented. The Norwegian painted caves are remarkable in the sense that they are the only recorded ex- amples of their kind in northern Europe. Located in desolate areas along the Atlantic coast, they are found in mountainous landscapes with a rugged shoreline. The con- sensus of opinion is that the ma- jority of the paintings were made by hunter-gatherer-fishers during the Bronze Age (or the Early Metal Age as this period is referred to in northern Norway), and that they stayed in these caves on a short- term basis for ritual purposes only. The Norwegian painted caves: an overview The sites on the list below are numbered according to geography, starting from south (please see the map, fig.1). In addition to the site names, the list has entries for the district, county and borough as well as the year of discovery of the paintings. Ytre Namdalen, Nord-Trøndelag 1.

  • VERNEPLAN for SJUNKHATTEN NASJONALPARK I BODØ, FAUSKE OG SØRFOLD KOMMUNER I NORDLAND FYLKE 1. FORSLAG 1.1 Hjemmelsgrunnlag
    Miljøverndepartementet KONGELIG RESOLUSJON Miljø- og utviklingsminister: Erik Solheim Ref.nr.: Saksnr: Dato: VERNEPLAN FOR SJUNKHATTEN NASJONALPARK I BODØ, FAUSKE OG SØRFOLD KOMMUNER I NORDLAND FYLKE 1. FORSLAG Miljøverndepartementet (MD) legger med dette fram forslag til verneplan for Sjunkhatten nasjonalpark i Bodø, Fauske og Sørfold kommuner i Nordland fylke. Den foreslåtte na- sjonalparken omfatter et areal på totalt ca 417,5 km2. Av dette er ca 39,8 km2 sjøareal. 34,7 % (inkludert sjøareal) er statlig grunn og 65,3 % er privat grunn. 1.1 Hjemmelsgrunnlag Den foreslåtte nasjonalparken utgjør et større, egenartet og vakkert naturområde, som i det vesentlige er fritt for tekniske inngrep og med stor variasjonsbredde av naturtyper og landskap. Nasjonalparken skal bidra til bevaringsmålene i § 33 bl.a. bokstavene a, c, d, e og g. På denne bakgrunn foreslås dette særegne nordnorske fjord- og fjellandskapet etab- lert som nasjonalpark i medhold av lov om forvaltning av naturens mangfold (naturmang- foldloven) §§ 34 og 77, jf §§ 35 og 62. Vern av den foreslåtte nasjonalparken vil bidra til å oppfylle nasjonale mål og internasjo- nale plikter i • St. meld. nr. 62 (1991-92) Ny landsplan for nasjonalparker og andre større verneom- råde i Norge, • St.prp. nr. 1 (2008-2009) for Miljøverndepartementet og • Verdens naturvernunion (IUCN) og Konvensjonen om biologisk mangfold (CBD), jf. naturmangfoldloven § 46, 1. ledd. Verneområdet skal bidra til å oppfylle nasjonale mål som bl.a. ”Eit representativt utval av norsk natur skal vernast for kommande generasjonar” og ”Halde oppe eller byggje opp att truga arter til livskraftige nivå”. Vernet sikrer urørt natur, tar vare på noen av de største villmarkspregede områdene som er igjen i Nordland (og i Norge) og sikrer flere svært viktige naturtyper og en rekke rødlistearter1.

  • MESTO DEJINY Narvik, a Swedish Norwegian Border Town
    MESTO a DEJINY Narvik, a Swedish Norwegian Border Town Steinar Aas vol. 8, 2019, 1, pp. 54-79 DOI: https://doi.org/10.33542/MAD2019-1-03 This article gives an insight into the industrialization and colonization processes of northern Scandinavia. Urbanization due to industrialization is a vital part of the perspective, and brings us into an industrial mega system in Swedish Lapland in the late nineteenth century based on iron ore export. It was to be connected to the industrial centre of Europe, especially the Ruhrgebiet of Germany, and paved the way for a new kind of urban development in peripheral Europe – the industrial network town. The history and foundation of the Norwegian harbour town Narvik is vital for gaining insight into this mega system. By studying Narvik we can envisage particularities of, and similarities and diff erences between Norway and Sweden when it comes to their urban economic foundations, urban development/planning regimes, and the relations between the municipalities, the modern nation states and the dominating companies. Even the development of a uniquely Scandinavian identity connected with the labour movement and the development of a post-war social democrat order visibly results from the new industries. Thus the common Swedish-Norwegian fi gure of the rallar – something like navvy or construction worker – has a signifi cant place in this study, and the use of the fi gure in addition to later processes of memory creation, both within the Norwegian and Swedish labour movements, is addressed. Keywords: Urban History. Modernization. Industrialization. Norwegian History. Swedish History. Technology. Urban Planning. Memory Studies.

  • Halogaland Bridge Project, Narvik
    Technical Brief No.6 Halogaland Bridge Project, Narvik The Hålogaland Bridge is a suspension bridge under construction which will cross the Rombaksfjorden in the municipality of Narvik in Nordland county, Norway. As the second-longest bridge in Norway, it will be part of the European Route E6 highway. The bridge lies above the Arctic Circle and is the longest suspension bridge within the Arctic Circle at the time of its construction. Wikipedia The following article appears on Road Traffic Technology website at https://www.roadtraffic-technology.com/projects/e6-halogaland-bridge-narvik/ The E6 Halogaland Bridge Project is one of the most anticipated projects in Norway. It involves the construction of the 1,533m-long Hålogaland Bridge over Rombaksfjorden in Narvik, Nordland. The bridge will reduce the distance between Narvik and Bjerkvik by 18km, via the European E6 highway route. The route will be safer, shorter and less congested. The NOK2.89bn ($476.3m) project will be financed by the Narvik Municipality (NOK 30m) and state funds (NOK 1.5bn). The project was first proposed by the Narvik Municipality in 2007. Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA) conducted a public inspection for the project in November 2007. The project proposal was adopted by Narvik municipality in February 2012. The project received approval from the Government in Council of Norway in May 2012. Construction details of the E6 Halogaland Bridge The project includes the construction of two new roads on both sides of the IFME – Technical Brief No.3 Page | i Hålogaland Bridge. The road on Narvik side will be 1.4km long, while the road on Øyjord side will be 3.5km long.
