  • On First Looking Into Loewe's Papers
    On first looking into Loewe’s papers Michael Piggott In an obituary for the June 1974 issue of The University Gazette, ‘D.J.’ noted that Fritz Loewe ‘founded this University’s department of Meteor- ology’ and for 25 years he ‘helped train many present well-known Australian meteorologists, conducted research into both glaciology and meteorology (he was a co-discoverer of the Southern Tropical Jet Stream), and achieved international recog- nition for the department.’1 What follows aims to profile one of our most important collections and the man behind that obituary’s masterly summary. Who was Loewe; what is in his collection; why is it significant; and what is its contem- porary relevance? Finally, I want to share some reflections, if not a Keatsean sonnet, prompted by looking systematically into the 70 or so boxes of the Loewe collection in the University of Melbourne Archives. Life If the name Fritz Loewe2 is recognised at all (and not confused with the composer of Broadway fame), most likely it would be because of Greenland. In particular, for his part in a famous and tragic expedition crossing western Greenland in 1930– 1931, and to a lesser degree for his before and after involvements there, 18 University of Melbourne Collections, Issue 3, December 2008 Johannes Georgi, Photograph of Ernst Sorge and Fritz Loewe in their ice cave at Eismitte station in Greenland, Christmas 1930, photographic print, 16.7 x 11.0 cm.

In Greenland journey (p. 195; see note 4), Sorge, a Berlin secondary school teacher and Eismitte’s glaciologist, describes this minus 10°C scene as follows: ‘Christmas was celebrated in simple fashion but with sincere feeling.

  • Nasjonsrelaterte Stedsnavn På Svalbard Hvilke Nasjoner Har Satt Flest Spor Etter Seg? NOR-3920
    Nasjonsrelaterte stedsnavn på Svalbard Hvilke nasjoner har satt flest spor etter seg? NOR-3920 Oddvar M. Ulvang Mastergradsoppgave i nordisk språkvitenskap Fakultet for humaniora, samfunnsvitenskap og lærerutdanning Institutt for språkvitenskap Universitetet i Tromsø Høsten 2012 Forord I mitt tidligere liv tilbragte jeg to år som radiotelegrafist (1964-66) og ett år som stasjonssjef (1975-76) ved Isfjord Radio1 på Kapp Linné. Dette er nok bakgrunnen for at jeg valgte å skrive en masteroppgave om stedsnavn på Svalbard. Seks delemner har utgjort halve mastergradsstudiet, og noen av disse førte meg tilbake til arktiske strøk. En semesteroppgave omhandlet Norske skipsnavn2, der noen av navna var av polarskuter. En annen omhandlet Språkmøte på Svalbard3, en sosiolingvistisk studie fra Longyearbyen. Den førte meg tilbake til øygruppen, om ikke fysisk så i hvert fall mentalt. Det samme har denne masteroppgaven gjort. Jeg har også vært student ved Universitetet i Tromsø tidligere. Jeg tok min cand. philol.-grad ved Institutt for historie høsten 2000 med hovedfagsoppgaven Telekommunikasjoner på Spitsbergen 1911-1935. Jeg vil takke veilederen min, professor Gulbrand Alhaug for den flotte oppfølgingen gjennom hele prosessen med denne masteroppgaven om stedsnavn på Svalbard. Han var også min foreleser og veileder da jeg tok mellomfagstillegget i nordisk språk med oppgaven Frå Amarius til Pardis. Manns- og kvinnenavn i Alstahaug og Stamnes 1850-1900.4 Jeg takker også alle andre som på en eller annen måte har hjulpet meg i denne prosessen. Dette gjelder bl.a. Norsk Polarinstitutt, som velvillig lot meg bruke deres database med stedsnavn på Svalbard, men ikke minst vil jeg takke min kjære Anne-Marie for hennes tålmodighet gjennom hele prosessen.
