  • Big Boulders of Tillite Rock in Porsanger, Northern Norway by Sven Føyn
    Big boulders of tillite rock in Porsanger, Northern Norway By Sven Føyn. Abstract In 1959 numerous erratic boulders of tillite rock were discovered at the head of Austerbotn, the eastern arm of the Porsangerfjord. Some of the boulders are very big, håving volumes of up to 20 m . In 1965 another two boulders were found about 7 km to the south-east of the head of the fjord. The presence of the tillite boulders shows that Eocambrian tillite occurs . or at least has existed - in the Porsanger region. No deposits of tillite occurring in situ have, however, been reported from this district. The writer suggests that the source of the boul6erB i8 most probably in koralen, a depression in the Precambrian surface of the broad Lakselv valley, about 10 km south of the head of the Porsangerfjord. As there are no rock exposures in the bottom of Rocidalen on account of the thick cover of Quaternary deposits, this theory can hardly be proved. Possible future finds ok tillite boulders may bring other parts of the Lakselv valle/ into focus. Introduction Numerous erratic boulders of tillite rock occur west of the head of Auster botn, the eastern arm of the Porsangerfjord (lat. 70° 4' N, long. 24° 68' E). The boulders are found mainly on the slope facing the sea, bur also on the small hill north of the main road. No occurrence of tillite in solid rock has been reported from Porsanger. The nearest known in situ deposits ok Eocam brian tillite are those south of Laksefjord more than 50 kilometres to the NE, and ar Altafjord about 60 km to the west.

  • Indigenous Television for the Majority: Analyzing NRK Sapmi's
    Indigenous Television for the Majority: Analyzing NRK Sapmi's Muitte Mu (Remember Me) Introduction Imagine this scene: we are in the small Sámi village Karasjok, located in Finnmark, the northernmost county in Norway. Here, in the middle of Finnmarksvidda, the largest plateau in the country, the locals are dressed in their traditional costumes, or gákti, and they sit in a Sámi hut, or gamme. They are listening to the Swedish-Norwegian artist Elisabeth Andreassen, who is performing a joik, or traditional Sámi form of music, in honour of her husband. She wears a liidni, a Sámi kerchief. Her husband and their two daughters are also present. Andreassen was the first artist to participate in the entertainment television series Muitte mu, which was produced by NRK Sápmi, the Sámi indigenous division of the Norwegian public service broadcaster NRK, in 2017. Muitte mu means remember me, and refers to joik as a way of remembering a person. In the series, six well-known Norwegian artists try to learn how to joik, a distinctive form of music which represents a powerful marker of identity for the Sámi. The series was criticised for commercialising joik and not paying adequate respect to Sámi culture or professional Sámi joikers. This article uses the series and the ensuing criticism to explore the following dilemma: How can NRK Sápmi fulfil its obligations towards the Sámi population and simultaneously position itself in relation to the majority population? The following discussion addresses cultural appropriation and commercialisation, as well as traditionalist versus pragmatic views of indigenous cultural expressions. NRK Sápmi’s main mission is to provide programming for the Sámi people, and the broadcaster is obligated to present a wide range of programs and services which maintain and strengthen a feeling of Sámi nationhood, including the Sámi language, culture and identity.

  • Homogenization of Norwegian Monthly Precipitation Series for the Period 1961-2018
    No. 4/2021 ISSN 2387-4201 METreport Climate Homogenization of Norwegian monthly precipitation series for the period 1961-2018 Elinah Khasandi Kuya, Herdis Motrøen Gjelten, Ole Einar Tveito METreport Title Date Homogenization of Norwegian monthly 2021-04-30 precipitation series for the period 1961-2018 Section Report no. Division for Climate Services No. 4/2021 Author(s) Classification Elinah Khasandi Kuya, Herdis Motrøen Gjelten, ● Free ○ Restricted Ole Einar Tveito Abstract Climatol homogenization method was applied to detect inhomogeneities in Norwegian precipitation series, during the period 1961-2018. 370 series (including 44 from Sweden and one from Finland) of monthly precipitation sums, from the ClimNorm precipitation dataset were used in the analysis. The homogeneity analysis produced a 58-year long homogenous dataset for 325 monthly precipitation sum with regional temporal variability and spatial coherence that is better than that of non-homogenized series. The dataset is more reliable in explaining the large-scale climate variations and was used to calculate the new climate normals in Norway. Keywords Homogenization, climate normals, precipitation Disciplinary signature Responsible signature 2 Abstract Climate normals play an important role in weather and climate studies and therefore require high-quality dataset that is both consistent and homogenous. The Norwegian observation network has changed considerably during the last 20-30 years, introducing non-climatic changes such as automation and relocation. Homogenization was therefore necessary and work has been done to establish a homogeneous precipitation reference dataset for the purpose of calculating the new climatological standard normals for the period 1991-2020. The homogenization tool Climatol was applied to detect inhomogeneities in the Norwegian precipitation series for the period 1961-2018.

  • 5 Kulturminner Og Kulturmiljø
    Statnett SF multiconsult.no 420 kV Adamselv - Lakselv - Skaidi 5 Kulturminner og kulturmiljø 5 Kulturminner og kulturmiljø 5.1 Innledning 5.1.1 Bakgrunn for utredningen Hovedmålet med konsekvensutredningen for fagtema kulturminner og kulturmiljø er å skaffe kunnskap om viktige kulturhistoriske verdier i plan- og influensområdet for bygging av ny kraftledning mellom Adamselv, Lakselv og Skaidi, slik at dette kan legges til grunn ved behandling av konsesjonssaken. Deler av rapporten ble utarbeidet i 2016/2017. Da ble til sammen 20 kulturmiljø vurdert. I 2019 ble strekning Skaidi – Lakselv inkludert i utredningen og rapporten er derfor oppdatert i 2020. I perioden 2016-2019 er det registret en rekke kulturminner langs- og i nærheten av linjetraseen. Enkelte kulturmiljø er oppdatert og det er kommet til nye kulturmiljø. Det er nå identifisert til sammen 30 kulturmiljø og enkeltminner. De siste 10 er lagt til fortløpende etter de opprinnelig utredete kulturmiljøene. 5.1.2 Avgrensing av fagområdet Begrepene kulturminner og kulturmiljø er definert i kulturminneloven § 2 «Med kulturminner menes alle spor etter menneskelig virksomhet i vårt fysiske miljø, herunder lokaliteter det knytter seg historiske hendelser, tro eller tradisjon til. Med kulturmiljø menes områder hvor et eller flere kulturminner inngår som en del av en større helhet eller sammenheng.» Forvaltningen skiller mellom automatisk freda kulturminner (også kalt fornminner) og nyere tids kulturminner. Alle fornminner som er eldre enn 1537 (reformasjonen), stående bygninger og mynter eldre enn 1650 og samiske kulturminner og kulturminner i vann og vassdrag eldre enn 100 år er automatisk freda. Automatisk fredning gjelder selve kulturminnet og en sikringssone på minst fem meter omkring det inntil rette forvaltningsmyndighet har bestemt noe annet.

  • Føyn 1969) Occupies the Position of Middle Thrust Unit in the Caledonides of Central Finnmark
    A POSSIBLE EQUIVALENT OF THE LAKSEFJORD NAPPE, SOUTH WEST OF PORSANGERFJORD EN, FINNMARK, NORWAY D. MICHAEL WILLIAMS Williams, D.M.: A possible equivalent of the Laksefjord Nappe, south west of Porsangerfjorden, Finnmark, Norway.Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 56, pp. 7-13, Oslo 1976. A hitherto unrecorded sequence of rocks from the west Stabbursdalen area, south west of Porsangerfjorden, is briefly described. The minimum thickness of this unit, which is considered to be allochthonous and provisionally named the Betusordda Nappe, is in the order of 600m. The unit consists of quart­ zites, phyllites, and metasiltstones affected by Iower greenschist facies meta­ morphism. The nappe exhibits a history of polyphase deformation. The first folds, of a flattened buckle type, have an associated axial planar foliation which is crenulated by later small scale folds. Both these fold types have axial directions trending approximately N-S.Later folds include N-S buckling and open E-W warps with some associated faulting. In a brief discussion of the position of the nappe in the tectono-stratigraphy of the Finnmark Caledonides, it is proposed that the nappe probably repre­ sents part of the Laksefjord Nappe of mid-Finnmark. D. M. Williams, Department of Geolog)', University College, Galway, Ire/and. The Betusordda Nappe The Laksefjord Nappe (Føyn 1969) occupies the position of middle thrust unit in the Caledonides of central Finnmark. First described by Føyn (1960) as the Laksefjord Group, it comprises the Hjord, Landersfjord, and Friar­ fjord Formations. The original unconformable relationship of this group with the underlying Precambrian crystalline basement is occasionally pre­ served above the basal thrust of the nappe.

    TRIP TO NORTERN NORWAY JUNE/JULY 2012 We had a little stop in Masi. The population here is only about 350 people and 98% are sami. It was planned that Day 12 the itinerary looks like this, from Alta via the village should be dammed during the development of Kautokeino to Karasjok. the Alta / Kautokeino watercourse, but it did not happen because of major protests. We also pass by the Vi kjører også forbi Pikefossen (The girl falls). The name originates according to legends from Masi church from 1965. a girl who was thrown into the falls because she lost her reindeer herd and that all the deers drowned. Someone has left their cath. Kautokeino. Kautokeino church. Kautokeino is a quite sparsely populated village. The county is the largest in Norway in area and it is also the largest reindeer herding county. 90% of the inhabitants are sami speaking. A view northwards along Karasjokha river. Then we crossed Finnmarksvidda and went to Karasjok. Here we are at Suotnju. At Karasjok Camping. The reception area with the service buildings. Next day, day 11, we are going to Honningsvåg. First a picture of a fuglevikke. Before leaving Karasjok we take a look at the Remarkable architecture. Sami Parliament of Norway. Lot of wooden panels on the outside.
