  • The Regional Distribution of Zeolites in the Basalts of the Faroe Islands and the Significance of Zeolites As Palaeo- Temperature Indicators
    The regional distribution of zeolites in the basalts of the Faroe Islands and the significance of zeolites as palaeo- temperature indicators Ole Jørgensen The first maps of the regional distribution of zeolites in the Palaeogene basalt plateau of the Faroe Islands are presented. The zeolite zones (thomsonite-chabazite, analcite, mesolite, stilbite-heulandite, laumontite) continue below sea level and reach a depth of 2200 m in the Lopra-1/1A well. Below this level, a high temperature zone occurs characterised by prehnite and pumpellyite. The stilbite-heulan- dite zone is the dominant mineral zone on the northern island, Vágar, the analcite and mesolite zones are the dominant ones on the southern islands of Sandoy and Suðuroy and the thomsonite-chabazite zone is dominant on the two northeastern islands of Viðoy and Borðoy. It is estimated that zeolitisa- tion of the basalts took place at temperatures between about 40°C and 230°C. Palaeogeothermal gradients are estimated to have been 66 ± 9°C/km in the lower basalt formation of the Lopra area of Suðuroy, the southernmost island, 63 ± 8°C/km in the middle basalt formation on the northernmost island of Vágar and 56 ± 7°C/km in the upper basalt formation on the central island of Sandoy. A linear extrapolation of the gradient from the Lopra area places the palaeosurface of the basalt plateau near to the top of the lower basalt formation. On Vágar, the palaeosurface was somewhere between 1700 m and 2020 m above the lower formation while the palaeosurface on Sandoy was between 1550 m and 1924 m above the base of the upper formation.

Updated information can be found on the Faroese EURAXESS portal www.euraxess.fo ISBN 978-99918-3-404-7 Preface Our world-famous author William Heinesen gives a very ac- curate description of the Faroe Islands in his novel The Lost Musicians: “Far out in the radiant ocean glinting like quicksilver there lies a solitary little lead-coloured land. The tiny rocky shore is to the vast ocean just about the same as a grain of sand to the floor of a dance hall. But seen beneath a magnifying glass, this grain is nevertheless a whole world.” This poetical text sums up the challenges and the oppor- tunities of the Faroese community. We are so small that most of the world hasn’t heard of us. Yet we have a modern and advanced society with a strong and multi-faceted research community.

  • Position Paper
    Page 1/5 POSITION PAPER The ECORYS Study on “Development of competition in the European postal sector” 22 March 2006 PostEurop, the Association of 43 Postal Operators, holders of the Universal Service Obligation at national as well as at international level, through its Postal Directive Working Group, has followed with attention the progress and the outcome of the Study performed by ECORYS for the European Commission (DG Markt) titled : “The development of competition in the European postal sector”1. The Study has been made public in mid-August 2005. The European Commission hosted a workshop on 10 October 2005 during which ECORYS described the main results of its study. PostEurop has already taken the opportunity to issue its opinions on the progress of the ECORYS study and refers therefore to its existing Opinion Paper of 15 June 20052. Following the invitation of the European Commission, PostEurop is pleased to have the opportunity to convey the following position observations in order to positively contribute to the further definition of Community postal policy. 1. GENERAL REMARKS At first sight the study provides a fresh view on current developments within the European postal sector as well as its (possible) future. The report’s uniqueness lies in the fact that it combines up-to- date knowledge of postal companies, their processes, the markets they serve, current and potential competitive forces, strategic options and the impact of liberalisation to draw a picture of the possible future of the European postal sector. ECORYS is considering the development of competition on the upstream markets as an indicator of the overall process of liberalisation.
