Conceptual ice stream landsystems derived from geomorphological and sedimentological observations provide 15 constraints on ice-meltwater-till-bedrock interactions on palaeo-ice stream beds. Within these landsystems, the spatial distribution and formation processes of ribbed bedforms remain unclear. We explore the conditions under which these bedforms develop and their spatial organisation with (i) an experimental model that reproduces the dynamics of ice streams and subglacial landsystems and (ii) an analysis of the distribution of ribbed bedforms on selected examples of paleo-ice stream beds of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. We find that a specific kind of ribbed bedforms can develop subglacially 20 from a flat bed beneath shear margins (i.e., lateral ribbed bedforms) and lobes (i.e., submarginal ribbed bedforms) of ice streams.

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.

  • THE GRANITIC ROCKS of FARSUND, SOUTH NORWAY INTRODUCTION the Present Study Is a Reappraisal of the Granitic Rocks Described As F
    THE GRANITIC ROCKS OF FARSUND, SOUTH NORWAY ERIC MIDDLEMOST MIDDLEMOST, E.: The granitic rocks of Farsund, South Norway. Norsk Geo/. Tidsskr. 48, pp. 81-99. Oslo 1968. The farsundite is a composite granitic body that crops out over an area of some 420 sq. km. in southern Norway. On a local scale the contact between the farsundite and the surrounding country rocks is often discordant; but when observed on a regional scale a broad structural conformity emerges. Three main facies are found within the farsundite body and the mineralogy and chemistry of these units is discussed. The farsundite is regarded as part of the Rogaland anorthosite province. It was emplaced as a magma that was augmented in volume by the in­ corporation of granitic gneiss. The charnockitic part of the farsundite body is believed to have crystallized under granulite facies conditions at a timl! whenthe main mass of rocks of the Rogaland anorthosite province was cooling down. INTRODUCTION The present study is a reappraisal of the granitic rocks described as farsundite by Barth (in Holtedahl 1960, pp. 41-44). These rocks crop out over an area of approximately 420 sq.km. in south western Vest-Agder, the southern-most county in Norway. Most of the farsundite crops out on a series of peninsulas and islands that are separated from one another by an intricate pattern of fjords. The highest point in the area is at Klåskniben (504 m.) which is 3.5 km east of Orange. The landscape is generally rugged, and it shows consider­ able evidence of ice sculpturing.

Strati- graphic and morphological contrasts existed r ound the ice front , which primarily resulted from a contrast in the distribution of supraglacial debris . Sedimentological and geotechnical techniques were utilised to determine the origin of stratigraphic units within the moraine ridge . Moraine A, at the margin of heavily debris covered ice , exhibited a complex stratigraphy. At most sites a lens of subglacially derived till was evident , between units of supra- glacially derived material . It is proposed that the moraine forming process involved the initial development of an ice- front talus apron , which was subsequently pushed and over- ridden . A plastic subglacial till was squeezed from beneath the supra- morainal ice margin , and overlain by a sorted supraglacial unit during glacier retreat . The moraine was actively advancing during the field season due to the main- tenance of glacier- moraine contact resulting rrom the retardation of ice- melt afforded by the supraglacial debris co':er . Moraine B is located at the margin or debris-free ice .

  • 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).

  • North-Norwegian Literature - an Example of the Oppression of a Regional Culture
    NILS M. KNUTSEN NORTH-NORWEGIAN LITERATURE - AN EXAMPLE OF THE OPPRESSION OF A REGIONAL CULTURE L Introduction Since there is no difference, ethnically speaking, 1 between people of Northern and Southern Norway, North-Norwegian literature is not a minority literature in the usual sense of the term. But economically and politically Northern Norway has had a very weak position within the country as a whole during the last 4-500 years. Consequently, the cultural life in the North has been almost completely subdued by the cultural life in the political and economic centers in the South~ Through these centuries there has never been an open conflict between the culture in the North and in the South. The situa- tion has rather been that of an undisputed Southern supremacy, accepted by both parts as something self-evident and "natural". Thus, North-Norwegian literature is not the expression of a subdued culture's heroic struggle against an overwhelming enemy. What the study of North-Norwegian literature does reveal, however - or more precisely, the study of the litera- ture about Northern Norway - are the problems caused by the dominance of a central, "official", "National" culture. Such problems or conflicts may be found in most countries. This article can only give a rough sketch of the development of these problems in Northern Norway. As an introduction it is necessary to include some historical information on the politi- cal, geographical and economical factors having determined the cultural development of Northern Norway. 1 The Lapps of Northern Norway is of course not included here. 188 NILS M.

De Geer (1858–1943), these moraines are low amplitude ridges that developed subaqueously by a combination of sediment deposition and squeezing and pushing of sediment along the grounding-line of a water-terminating ice margin. They typically occur as a series of closely-spaced ridges presumably recording annual retreat-push cycles under limited sediment supply. Equifinality A term used to convey the fact that many landforms or bedforms, although of different origins and with differing sediment contents, may end up looking remarkably similar in the final form. Equilibrium line It is the altitude on an ice mass that marks the point below which all previous year’s snow has melted.

  • Radiocesium Concentrations in Wild Reindeer at Dovrefjell, Norway. Radiocesium-Konsentrasjoner Hos Villrein På Dovrefjell, Norge
    Radiocesium concentrations in wild reindeer at Dovrefjell, Norway. Radiocesium-konsentrasjoner hos villrein på Dovrefjell, Norge. Terje Skogland, Directorate for Nature Management, Research Div., Tungasletta 2, N-7047 Trondheim, Norway. Abstract: Seasonal radiocesium concentrations varied about 6 times in wild reindeer following the Chernobyl accident, from 8 KBq/kg in August to 46 KBq/kg in March. These results agree with the predictions of earlier models. The within-season coefficient of variation was 52-62%. Between one half and 3/4 of this variation was explained by altitudinal and geographical factors, i.e. a 5-fold increase in concentrations from the westernmost to the easternmost locations across the watershed at Dovrefjell, and a 6-fold increase in concentrations from feeding locations in the subalpine to the high alpine zone in autumn. The positive correlation with altitude was reversed in winter for animals foraging in the subalpine coniferous zone on arboreal lichens. Rangifer, 7(2): 42-45 Skogland, T. 1987.

  • Guidebooks on the Norwegian St. Olav Ways and the Heritagization of Religion
    Numen 67 (2020) 508–536 brill.com/nu How to Be a Pilgrim: Guidebooks on the Norwegian St. Olav Ways and the Heritagization of Religion Dirk Johannsen Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway [email protected] Ane Ohrvik Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway [email protected] Abstract The Norwegian St. Olav Ways are currently the largest Northern European project re- institutionalizing pilgrimage as cultural heritage, providing a new framework for ver- nacular religious practices to a wide audience. In this article we approach the current pilgrimage revival in Northern Europe as part of a trend toward a heritagization of religion that allows new religious self-understandings to emerge. We analyze pilgrim guidebooks to the St. Olav Ways with regard to their narrative scripts, detailing how they can create expectations, inform the pilgrims’ conduct, and direct their attention toward a history that translates into a heritage. Based on a corpus of published pilgrim journals and diaries, we argue that the guidebooks instruct a process of interpretive drift, which influence the pilgrims toward embracing and embodying a new role with- in the religious field. The guidebooks invite the pilgrims to take on the role of heirs to a medieval European tradition.
