Here, you can experience a varied landscape with geological, botanical, zoological and cultural historical gems. The park contains an almost intact ecosystem that includes wild reindeer, wolverines, arctic foxes, ravens and golden eagles, and the only Norwegian population of musk oxen also lives on Dovrefjell.

Teksten er derfor ikke korrekturlest og rettet. Det er bildet av teksten som er korrekt, ikke den kopierbare teksten. Botaniske verdier i Dovrefjell-området, Dato: Hedmark 26.03.98 Forfatter(e): Antall sider: Reidar Elven og Eli Fremstad 34 Prosjektansvarlig: ISSN-nr: Hans Chr. Gjerlaug ISSN 0802-7013 Finansiering: ISBN-nr: Sammendrag: Rapporten oppsummerer botaniske verdier i form av flora og vegetasjonstyper som er kjent innenfor et planleggingsområde i Hedmark som er fastsatt i forbindelse med arbeidet med sikte på utvidelse av Dovrefjell nasjonalpark med eventuelle tilgrensende landskapsvernområder. Området omfatter deler av Tynset og Folldal kommuner, samt mindre deler av Oppdal (Sør-Trøndelag) og Dovre (Oppland) kommuner. Deler av området er dårlig undersøkt, særlig m.h.t. vegetasjon. For Folldalsfjellene foreligger det en vegetasjonsundersøkelse fra 1914. Innerdalen ble grundig undersøkt i 1970-årene. Betydelige botaniske verdier gikk tapt ved oppdemmingen av Innerdalsmagasinet. Planleggingsområdet i Hedmark rommer store botaniske verdier, til dels elementer som er dårlig dekt eller som ikke er representert ellers innenfor det totale vurderingsområdet for verneplanarbeidet i Dovrefjell. Fortsatt beite er viktig for å beholde preget av tradisjonelt drevne kulturlandskap i flere av dalførene. Utvidelsen vil kunne gi et verneområde som strekker seg fra klart oseanisk seksjon (02) til svakt kontinental seksjon (Cl), og som kan bli ett av de mest varierte i Europa med hensyn til klima og naturtyper. Floraen østover er delvis en uttynning av Dovrefjellfloraen. Rapporten gir også et sammendrag av tilleggsundersøkelser i 1996 innenfor det planleggingsområdet som ble behandlet av Elven et al.

  • Measuring the Inaccurate: Causes and Consequences of Train Delays
    Summary: Measuring the inaccurate: Causes and consequences of train delays TØI Report 1459/2015 Author(s): Askill Harkjerr Halse, Vegard Østli and Marit Killi Oslo 2015, 71 pages Norwegian language In this report, we argue that the rich available data on train performance and railway infrastructure should be used to get precise measurements of economic relationships in railway management. As one such exercise, we first show how temporary speed reductions on railway links caused by low infrastructure quality affects running time and delays for Norwegian freight trains. Even though each speed reduction only adds about 44-50 seconds to running time, speed reductions still contribute to delay at the destination. Secondly, we show that delays has a negative effect on demand for passenger and freight trains services. The corresponding demand elasticity is lower than the one implied by willingness-to-pay studies, consistent with evidence from Great Britain. In is widely acknowledged in the transportation economics literature that more reliable transport time constitutes an economic benefit. In the presence of unreliability, individuals and firms adjust by taking costly measures like departing early or keeping a safety stock of goods. The ‘cost’ of train delays is therefore the foregone benefits that could have been achieved if all trains were running on time. Much of the existing literature on railway punctuality is based on optimization and/or simulation, calling for more empirical studies. In the innovation project PRESIS, funded by the Research Council of Norway and the Norwegian National Rail Administration, we have developed methods to survey reliability in the Norwegian rail sector.

Geografisk betegnet ligger herredene innen• for 62° 38' og 62° 53' nordlig bredde og 2° 52' og 3° 32' vestlig lengde (Oslo meridianen). De 'tilgrensende herreder er i nord Bolsøy, i øst Nesset, Eres• fjord og Vistdal, i sør Hen, Grytten og Voll og i vest Tresfjord og Vestnes. Herredene er gjennomskåret av 3 fjorder, Langfjorden i øst, RØdvenfjorden i midten og Romsdalsfjorden i vest. Utenfor fjordmunningene ligger Øyene Sekken, som er historisk kjent, og Veøya med en gammel steinkirke fra det 11. århundre. Veøya var i middelalderen sentrum og kaupang for Romsdalen. I Eid og Veay er det mest fjellterreng med flere fjelltopper på omkring 100'0 m høyde. Her er gode fjellbeiter med tidligere utbredt seterbruk. I dalene og liene er bra skog, dels furu og dels lauvskog, særlig bjØrk. Her er også mange betydelige plantefelter av gran.

  • The Transition Zone of Mountain Permafrost on Dovrefjell, Southern Norway
    Permafrost, Phillips, Springman & Arenson (eds) © 2003 Swets & Zeitlinger, Lisse, ISBN 90 5809 582 7 The transition zone of mountain permafrost on Dovrefjell, southern Norway J.L. Sollid Department of Physical Geography, University of Oslo, Norway K. Isaksen Norwegian Meteorological Institute, Oslo, Norway T. Eiken Department of Physical Geography, University of Oslo, Norway R.S. Ødegård Gjøvik University College, Gjøvik, Norway ABSTRACT: A monitoring programme was started in the autumn 2001 on Dovrefjell, southern Norway, to measure ground temperatures in 11 boreholes approximately 9 m deep along an altitudinal transect across the mountain permafrost transition zone. This is the first transect of this type set up in Scandinavia. Borehole tem- peratures are highly correlated with elevation. Measurements of mean ground temperatures at 8.5 m depth on exposed sites show that the lower limit of the mountain permafrost is on the high side of 1300 m a.s.l. The mean ground temperature elevation gradient was found to be Ϫ0.7°C/100 m. This gradient was not dependent on snow depth, and differs from the mean annual air temperature lapse rate (Ϫ0.44°C/100 m). The gradient differences may be due to stronger turbulent fluxes at high elevations during the snow-free period. 1 INTRODUCTION Dovrefjell (62°15ЈN, 9°20ЈE) is a mountainous area situated in southern Norway with Snøhetta (2286 m a.s.l.) as the highest mountain (Figures 1 and 2). Dovrefjell is an area rich in deglaciation terrain forms. There are well developed moraines (the Knutshø moraine-system) dating from about 9600 BP and gen- erated by the last activity of the Weichselian ice sheet in southern Norway (Sollid, 1964).

    Masteroppgave 2020 60 stp Fakultet for miljøvitenskap og naturforvaltning (MINA) Moskusstien som forvaltningstiltak på Dovrefjell Kan en ny sti i randsonen redusere ferdselen i sårbare villreinområder, samtidig som den gir besøkende gode naturopplevelser? The Musk Ox Trail as a management measure at Dovrefjell Can a new trail in the border zone reduce traffic in vulnerable wild reindeer areas, while providing visitors with good nature experiences? An-Magritt Emilie Nergaard Todnem Naturforvaltning Forord Denne masteroppgaven er skrevet for Fakultetet for Miljøvitenskap og Naturforvaltning (MINA) ved Norges miljø- og biovitenskapelige Universitet (NMBU), og markerer en fullført mastergrad i naturforvaltning. Jeg har alltid hatt stor interesse for høyfjelløkologi og hadde et sterkt ønske om å skrive en oppgave som omhandler fjellet. Det har vært interessant og morsomt å studere virkning av tiltak for å redusere ferdsel inn mot villreinens sårbare områder. Jeg har hatt glede av arbeidet. Jeg vil først takke veilederne mine Øystein Aas (Professor ved MINA, NMBU) og Vegard Gundersen (Seniorforsker, NINA) som har vært hoved- og biveileder, og har gitt meg nyttige tilbakemeldinger og god veiledning underveis i arbeidet. I tillegg vil jeg takke for at jeg fikk delta i prosjektet. Å jobbe med et konkret prosjekt har gitt ekstra motivasjon da oppgaven forhåpentligvis kan være til nytte for andre. Videre vil jeg takke Villreinsenteret Nord, avd. Hjerkinn for praktisk hjelp og husrom under feltarbeidet, og Marit Vorkinn (Seniorrådgiver, Fylkesmannen i Innlandet) for råd og hjelp ved utforming av spørreskjema. Jeg vil også takke min tante Kristine som har hjulpet til med statistiske analyser og diskutert teoriene med meg. Også alle informantene som har besvart spørreskjema på turen sin langs Moskusstien eller blitt intervjuet fortjener en takk.
