NORWAY Coordinating Institute (partner signing the CA): University of Bergen (UiB), Bergen, Norway National team: Following are the 4 core members of the Norwegian EPOS Consortium (NOREC): University of Bergen (National Coordinator) NORSAR Norwegian Geological Survey (NGU) Norwegian Mapping and Cadastre Authority of Norway (Statens Kartverk) Pluss additional members: University of Oslo, CMR-UiB, NGI … Contact : Prof. Kuvvet Atakan (Univ. of Bergen)

NORWEGIAN RI- description Norwegian Research Infrastructures to be integrated in EPOS: Norwegian National Seismic Network (NNSN) operated by the University of Bergen (UiB) NORSAR Array stations operated by Norsar Geodetic networks operated by the Norwegian Mapping Authority (SK) Various geological and geophysical data provided by the Norwegian Geological Survey (NGU)

Governmental Links Commitment from Norwegian government is through the national funding agency, Norwegian Research Council (NFR) There is a government priority for the Arctic areas (nordområde satsing) National body coordinating ESFRI initiatives is the Norwegian Research Council (NFR) Status at national level : EPOS is recognized as one the ESFRI- Road Map projects where Norwegian participation is expected. A support letter will be provided by the NFR

Norwegian interests and possibilities within the EPOS: 1.Integrate the existing seismic networks operated by UiB and NORSAR (this task is already underway through the Norwegian National Seismic Network). 2.Expand the existing seismic networks in the Arctic through ocean bottom observation systems. 3.Integrate data from the seismic and geodetic networks into one cyber infrastructure. 4.Integrate the modelling capacities in geodynamics with the monitoring networks of seismology and geodesy as well as other geological and geophysical data. 5.In the long-term establish a single real-time earth observing system for Norway and the adjacent areas, including the Arctic. 6.Synergy effects of combinig several ESFRI initiatives, such as EPOS, SIAEOS, EMSO, Aurora Borealis etc.). Norwegian interests

Norwegian National Seismic Network Earthquake monitoring in Norway and the adjacent areas Norwegian National Seismic Network (NNSN stations are shown in red and Norsar arrays in blue) Total investments are ~ 67 Million €

Seismicity in Norway and the Arctic Seismicity in Norway and the adjacent areas (data from NNSN)

Norwegian Geodetic Networks Norwegian geodetic networks are operated by the Mapping Authority

Geophysical data - NGU Gravity Magnetic data Skilbrei et al Olesen et al. 1997

European Plate Boundary in the North European Plate boundary in Northern Atlantic Norwegian Interests in the Arctic

M=6.5 Earthquake Spitsbergen FZ The earthquake of March 6, 2009 (M=6.5) was the largest ever recorded earthquake within the areas surrounding Norway. Data from NNSN

Intraplate earthquakes Earthquake offshore Svalbard Feb. 21, 2008 (M=6.0) The earthquake of Feb. 21, 2008 (M=6.0) was the largest intraplate earthquake in Norway and the adjacent offshore areas Data from NNSN

Beerenberg Volcano – Jan Mayen The earthquake of Apr. 14, 2004 (M=6.0) was the latest significant earthquake along the Jan Mayen Fracture Zone. The last eruption on Beerenberg volcano was in Sørensen et al., 2007

Norwegian research interests In addition, other possible activities that can be launched within the framework of the EPOS project are discussed. Following are suggested: Temporary installation of monitoring networks (seismological and others). Establishment of a natural laboratory on Jan Mayen around the Beerenberg volcano. Norway has significant capacity and interest in monitoring the Arctic areas. In this respect, the plate boundaries across the northern Atlantic (Mohn’s ridge) as well as Arctic (Gakkel ridge) and the transition zone between Svalbard and Greenland are important areas where significant plate deformation occur. Hence, monitoring in this region is important within the EPOS concept. Coordination with other ESFRI-initiatives would be necessary (e.g. SIAEOS).
