The goal of this initiative is to develop a digital data base that contains all available bathymetric data north of 64 degrees -200 North, for use by mapmakers, researchers, and others whose work requires a detailed and acurate knowledge of the depth and the shape of the Arctic seabed. Initiated in 1997, this undertaking has so far engaged the volunteer efforts of investigators who are affiliated with -250 eleven institutions in eight countries: Canada, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Quest Channel Quest B Sweden, and the USA. The activity has also been endorsed and/or supported financially by Lena Trough -300 the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), the International Arctic Science 80Ê Kvitùyra Committee (IASC), the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), the US Office of Naval 80Ê A Research (ONR), and the US National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC).

Based on data from R/V Polarstern multibeam sonar surveys between 1984 and 1997 we produced a high resolution bathymetry Spitsbergen Trough* -500 Y of the central Fram Strait. The area insonified covers approx. 36,500 km2 between 78oN - 80 o o o Norske Bank N and 0 E - 7.5 E.

E-mail corresponding author (Jørn H. Hurum): [email protected] The palaeontology of the Lower to Middle Triassic succession in Spitsbergen has been studied for more than a century and a half. Our ability to properly interpret the evolutionary and ecological implications of the faunas requires precise stratigraphic control that has only recently become available. Within such a detailed stratigraphic framework, the Spitsbergen fossil material promises to contribute to our understanding of the faunal recovery after the end-Permian mass extinction.

The view is from Trygghamna ('Safe Harbour') with CSE motorboats Salterella and Collenia by the shore, with good anchorage and easy access inland. Photo M. J. Hambrey, CSE (SP. 1561). Routine journeys to the fjords of north Spitsbergen and Nordaustlandet pass by the rocky coastline of northwest Spitsbergen. Here is a view of Smeerenburgbreen from Smeerenburgfjordenwhich affords some shelter being protected by outer islands. On one of these was Smeerenburg, the principal base for early whaling, hence the Dutch name for 'blubber town'. Photo N. I. Cox, CSE 1989.

Photo P. W. Web, CSE 1989. Access to cliffs and a glacier route (up Hannabreen) often necessitates crossing blocky talus (here Devonian in foreground) and then possibly a pleasanter route up the moraine on to hard glacier ice. Moraine generally affords a useful introduction to the rocks to be traversed along the glacial margin. The dots in the sky are geese training their young to fly in V formation for their migration back to the UK at the end of the summer.

    554 Nordaust-Svalbard og Søraust- Svalbard naturreservater Kunnskapsstatus for flora og vegetasjon Marianne Evju Stefan Blumentrath Dagmar Hagen NINAs publikasjoner NINA Rapport Dette er en elektronisk serie fra 2005 som erstatter de tidligere seriene NINA Fagrapport, NINA Oppdragsmelding og NINA Project Report. Normalt er dette NINAs rapportering til oppdragsgiver etter gjennomført forsknings-, overvåkings- eller utredningsarbeid. I tillegg vil serien favne mye av instituttets øvrige rapportering, for eksempel fra seminarer og konferanser, resultater av eget forsknings- og utredningsarbeid og litteraturstudier. NINA Rapport kan også utgis på annet språk når det er hensiktsmessig. NINA Temahefte Som navnet angir behandler temaheftene spesielle emner. Heftene utarbeides etter behov og serien favner svært vidt; fra systematiske bestemmelsesnøkler til informasjon om viktige problemstillinger i samfunnet. NINA Temahefte gis vanligvis en populærvitenskapelig form med mer vekt på illustrasjoner enn NINA Rapport. NINA Fakta Faktaarkene har som mål å gjøre NINAs forskningsresultater raskt og enkelt tilgjengelig for et større publikum. De sendes til presse, ideelle organisasjoner, naturforvaltningen på ulike nivå, politikere og andre spesielt interesserte. Faktaarkene gir en kort framstilling av noen av våre viktigste forskningstema. Annen publisering I tillegg til rapporteringen i NINAs egne serier publiserer instituttets ansatte en stor del av sine vitenskapelige resultater i internasjonale journaler, populærfaglige bøker og tidsskrifter.
