  • Rådmannen I Bokn Kommune
    Sammendrag Infrastrukturen er viktig for en regions velferd og økonomiske utvikling, spesielt i Norge hvor utfordrende topografi og spredt befolkning har ført til mange små adskilte regioner. Rogaland har i dag to byregioner; Stavangerregionen og Haugalandet, som er skilt av Boknafjorden og ferjesambandet Mortavika-Arsvågen. Det nye ferjeavløsningsprosjektet Rogfast, som skal stå ferdig rundt 2025, vil redusere reisetiden med 40 minutter og samtidig øke fleksibiliteten på strekningen. En slik utbygging av vegnettet har i hovedsak to direkte virkninger; reduserte reisetider og reduserte transportkostnader, men de direkte virkningene fører etter hvert andre indirekte virkninger med seg, også kalt ringvirkninger. Ringvirkninger er nyttevirkninger utover den vanlige samfunnsøkonomiske nytten, og dermed en del av de positive konsekvensene knyttet til prosjektet. Denne masteroppgaven utforsker hvilke konsekvenser, man sannsynligvis vil få i Bokn kommune, en av kommunene som Rogfast utbyggingen vil berøre direkte, etter at prosjektet står ferdig. Bokn vil, etter Rogfast, ligge midt mellom sentrumskjernene i Stavanger og Haugesund med en 30 minutters kjøretur hver veg, noe som potensielt sett kan gi vekst i kommunen. Problemstillingen til oppgaven er derfor: «Undersøke mulige konsekvenser av Rogfast prosjektet på Bokn kommune». Det er konsekvensene knyttet til bosetting, arbeidsmarked og næringsliv som vil stå sentralt da disse danner fundamentet for utviklingen i en kommune. Kommunene selv har mulighet til å påvirke fremtidig utvikling gjennom å skape attraktivitet, men dette avhenger av styringsevne. Av den grunn ser oppgaven også på hvordan Bokn kommune legger seg i forkant av prosjektet for å dra nytte av disse konsekvensene. Datagrunnlaget er hentet fra rapporter, intervjuer og statistikk. Casestudien viser at Bokn kommune trolig vil bli mer attraktiv for bosetting etter åpningen av Rogfast, men at dette vil avhenge mye av bompengesatsene som blir satt i tunnelen.

  • Hiking Tips in Fjord Norway - Take Your Trip to New Heights
    Hornelen is the highest sea cliff in Europe. Photo: Sverre Hjørnevik / Fjord Norway Jun 16, 2020 14:10 CEST Hiking tips in Fjord Norway - Take your trip to new heights Fjord Norway is a region full of contrasts: Dramatic rock formations meet deep-blue fjords and cascading waterfalls as well as charming fjord cities and villages. Steep mountains that rise straight up from the sea create the perfect surroundings for great walking experiences with panoramic views. We have collected a few tips for hiking possibilities in Fjord Norway that can be found off the beaten tracks. Ford Norway is known for famous hiking trails like those to Trolltunga or Preikestolen. But hikers will find many more stunning possibilities for all levels and abilities. Put on your hiking boots and gear, grab your “matpakke” – Norway’s iconic packed lunch —and set out for a day, a few days or even a week of unmatchable vistas and views. Weather and trail conditions vary, so keep yourself informed before heading out. Last but not least: Fjord Norway’s natural landscape is clean and pristine, and we ask that you help us keep it that way. Spectacular fjord views Wherever you are in Fjord Norway, striking fjord views are guaranteed! Set out from Haugesund to climb Mount Himakånå, a family-friendly, 1-hour hike up to panoramic views from a perch 357 meters over farms and forests lining the Nedstrandsfjord and a shimmering lake called Lysevatnet. Create your own hiking stories on the Saga Trail a 4-hour trek from Boknafjord shores, up a set of stone stairs built by Sherpas from Nepal, to the top of Hovlandsnuten for plenty of awe-inspiring vistas.

The GESTCO project is a joint research project conducted by 8 national geological surveys and several industry partners/end users, partly funded by the European Union 5th Framework Programme for Research and Development. Four of the most promising types of geological storage are being studied: 1) onshore/offshore saline aquifers with or without lateral seal, 2) low entalpy geothermal reservoirs, 3) deep methane-bearing coal beds and abandoned coal and salt mines, and 4) exhausted or near exhausted hydrocarbon structures. In this report, we present an inventory of CO2 point sources in Norway (1999) and the results of the work within Study Area C: deep saline aquifers offshore/near shore Northern and Central Norway.

  • Deglaciation of Boknafjorden, South-Western Norway
    JOURNAL OF QUATERNARY SCIENCE (2017) 32(1) 80–90 ISSN 0267-8179. DOI: 10.1002/jqs.2925 Deglaciation of Boknafjorden, south-western Norway DALE J. GUMP,1 JASON P. BRINER,1* JAN MANGERUD2 and JOHN INGE SVENDSEN2 1Department of Geology, University at Buffalo, 126 Cooke Hall, Buffalo, NY 14260, USA 2Department of Earth Science, University of Bergen, PO 7803, N-5020, Norway, and Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research, Bergen, Norway Received 29 June 2016; Revised 28 October 2016; Accepted 7 November 2016 ABSTRACT: We present 30 10Be ages from glacial erratic boulders to constrain the deglaciation of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet in the Boknafjorden region, south-western Norway. The southern part of the island Karmøy, located at the mouth of this fjord system, became free of glacier ice before 16 ka, probably because of the sudden break up of the Norwegian Channel Ice Stream at 20–18 ka. The ice sheet margin then stabilized at the fjord mouth until a second retreat phase commenced at or slightly before 16 ka. A calving bay developed in Boknafjorden after 16 ka, and in the course of the next millennium the ice front retreated to the inner fjord branches. In contrast, a major outlet glacier that filled the Hardangerfjorden farther to the north did not start to retreat from the fjord mouth until after 15 ka, probably in response to the Bølling warming. Thus, not only did Boknafjorden experience major retreat before Bølling warmth, but there was a variable response of south-western fjord glaciers in Norway consistent with prior observations of non-climatic forcing of marine-terminating outlet glaciers.

The report contains the results of the geological logging of several of these cores from drilling at four locations. The first core comes from Alstein, an island between Randaberg and Kvitsøy, and displays the typical intrusive mainly gabbroic rocks of the Karmøy Ophiolite unit. A shear zone at the bottom of the core may indicate the vicinity of the sole detachment of the Hardangerfjord Nappe. The three other cores are from Kvitsøy. They display the typical meta- volcanic and volcano-clastic greenstones outcropping on the island but also a large proportion of graphite-rich black shales which was not previously reported in the bedrock suite.

  • 2 Intraregional Diversity. Approaching Changes in Political Topographies in South-Western Norway Through Burials with Brooches, AD 200–1000
    Mari Arentz Østmo 2 Intraregional Diversity. Approaching Changes in Political Topographies in South-western Norway through Burials with Brooches, AD 200–1000 This chapter addresses socio-political structure and change through the examination of spatial and temporal differences in the deposition of brooches in burial contexts and aspects of burial practices. Diachronic sub-regions within Rogaland and parts of southern Hordaland are inferred, enabling a further address of the trajectories within sub-regions and how they interrelate in ongo- ing socio-political processes. The paradox of observed concurrent processes of homogenisation and upsurges of local or regional particularities is addressed through the theoretical framework of globalisation. Within the study area, the sub-regions of Jæren and the Outer coast/Karmsund appear most defined throughout the period AD 200–1000. Here, quite different trajectories are observed, indicating a parallel development of different practices and sub-regional identities. 2.1 Introduction Throughout the Iron Age, dress accessories included brooches, clasps, and pins that held garments together while simultaneously adding decorative and communi- cative elements to the dress. While the functional aspects of brooches are persis- tent, their form and ornamentation vary greatly within the first millennium AD; the typologies of brooches thus constitute a major contribution to the development of Iron Age chronology (Klæsøe 1999:89; Kristoffersen 2000:67; Lillehammer 1996; Røstad 2016a). As such, the brooches deposited in burials provide an exceptional opportunity to address both spatial and temporal variations in burial practices, and furthermore in the social groups that performed those rituals. Regionality, defined as the spatial dimension of cultural differences (Gammeltoft and Sindbæk 2008:7), is here approached on a microscale, focusing on intra-regional diversity in the selective and context-specific use of a particular part of material cul- ture, namely the brooches.
