Summary
NGU, Norsk Hydro ASA, the University of Bergen and Sogn and Fjordane College
collaborate on a project aiming to identify regional slide/mass-movement events
and to interpret triggering factors for such slides (Regional landslide occur-
rences and possible post-glacial earthquake activity in northwest Western
Norway)
Evidence for such slides have been searched for in five lakes in Nordfjord and
Sunnmøre by penetration echosounding profiling and bathymetric mapping. From
these lakes, 26 sediment cores, with a combines length of 70 m, have been
samples with a modified 110 mm Livingstone piston corer.
This field report (Phase B2) gives a summary of the sediment sampling,
including the geographical location of the cores and their stratigraphical
location compared to the echosounding profiles.
