  • New Funding for Wittgenstein's House in Skjolden
    Press release: New funding for Wittgenstein’s house in Skjolden As one of the major sponsors, Luster Sparebank has given a grant of NOK 1 million to the project. This is in addition to NOK 1 million which has been funded by the county of Sogn og Fjordane, in which Wittgenstein’s house is located. There is still a long way for full funding, but with positive response from other key sponsors who will be contacted during the spring, the restoration of Wittgenstein’s house in its original surroundings can already commence within 2017. The renowned Austrian philosopher and engineer Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889- 1951) is not very well known in Norway. However, every year people from around the world come to visit the site where he built the house in 1913, where he sought solitude to work without distractions. Here, Wittgenstein conducted works that delivered important contributions, not just to language and philosophy of mind, but also to mathematics and studies in aerodynamics. Today, the house is located near the centre of Skjolden and is being used as a holiday house. The relocation and restoration of the house to its original architectural form, will create a historic and cultural heritage site in Sogn og Fjordane, and become an international tourist attraction. Upon completion, the Foundation intends to inaugurate the house with its key stakeholders and friends representing Norwegian and international universities with a launch event in June 2019. The project has received significant interest from across the world. A press delegation from Austria will visit the house in Skjolden in May 2017.

  • Sequence Stratigraphy and Palaeogeography of the Middle Jurassic Brent and Vestland Deltaic Systems, Northern North Sea
    Sequence stratigraphy and palaeogeography of the Middle Jurassic Brent and Vestland deltaic systems, Northern North Sea ERIK FJELLAN GER, TINA R. OLSEN & JEAN LOUP RUBINO Fjellanger, E., Olsen, T. R. & Rubino, J. L.: Sequence stratigraphy and palaeogeography of the Middle Jurassic Brent and Vestland deltaic systems, Northern North Sea. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift. Vol. 76, pp. 75-106. Oslo 1996. ISSN 0029-196X. The regional development of the Middle Jurassic Brent Group (Northern North Sea) has been studied within a sequence stratigraphic framework, and four depositional sequences (Exxonian) have been recognized. The phases of Iowstand, progradation, aggradation, retrogradation and drowning of the 'classical' Brent deltaic system and a renewed deltaic progradation (the 'Vestland deltaic system') are illustrated by cross-sections and regional palaeogeographic maps. The Bajocian Brent delta progradation and aggradation developed during a period of varying rate of relative sea-levet rise, forming a continuous sheet-Iike package of delta front facies associations in front of heterogeneous delta plain deposits. The stacking pattern varies from strongly progradational near sequence boundaries at a minimum rate of sea-levet rise to aggradational during periods of pronounced sea-leve) rise. No delta incision or lowstand deposition due to major relative sea-levet falls is envisaged. The Early Bathonian delta retreat took place in retrogressive pulses, and was probably influenced by synsedimentary fault activity along the ancient Viking Graben structure, foniling an estuary in the Southern Viking Graben and gradually drowning the deltaic system in the Northern Viking Graben. After the maximum flooding of the Brent deltaic system in the Early Bathonian a second, pronounced deltaic progradation (the 'Vestland deltaic system') took place from the Central Viking Graben to ca.
