Permafrost trapped natural gas in Svalbard, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Permafrost is widespread in the High Arctic, including the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. The uppermost permafrost intervals have been well studied, but the processes at its base and the impacts of the underlying geology ... -
Spatio-temporal variability in geometry and geodetic mass balance of Jostedalsbreen ice cap, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Jostedalsbreen ice cap is mainland Europe's largest ice cap and accommodates 20% (458 km2 in 2019) of the total glacier area of mainland Norway. Jostedalsbreen and its meltwater contribute to global sea-level rise and ... -
Plate and stiffener buckling in transversely loaded steel panels
(Journal article, 2023)Stiffened plates may be loaded by axial forces in two directions, i.e., along and transverse to the stiffeners, by in-plane shear force, and by out-of-plane loads as from traffic or water pressure. Special care must be ... -
Antarctic Bedmap data: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) sharing of 60 years of ice bed, surface, and thickness data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)One of the key components of this research has been the mapping of Antarctic bed topography and ice thickness parameters that are crucial for modelling ice flow and hence for predicting future ice loss and the ensuing sea ... -
Multimodal Asynchronous Kalman Filter for monitoring unstable rock slopes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Unstable rock slopes pose a hazard to inhabitants and infrastructure in their vicinity, necessitating advanced monitoring methodologies for timely risk assessment and mitigation. Recent geotechnical monitoring techniques ... -

Seasonal Snowpack Microbial Ecology and Biogeochemistry on a High Arctic Ice Cap Reveals Negligible Autotrophic Activity During Spring and Summer Melt
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Snowpack ecosystem studies are primarily derived from research on snow-on-soil ecosystems. Greater research attention needs to be directed to the study of glacial snow covers as most snow cover lies on glaciers and ice ... -
Constraining the tectonic evolution of rifted continental margins by U–Pb calcite dating
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We employ U–Pb calcite dating of structurally-controlled fracture fills within crystalline Caledonian basement in western Norway to reveal subtle large-scale tectonic events that affected this rifted continental margin. ... -
Icescape-scale metabolomics reveals cyanobacterial and topographic control of the core metabolism of the cryoconite ecosystem of an Arctic ice cap
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Glaciers host ecosystems comprised of biodiverse and active microbiota. Among glacial ecosystems, less is known about the ecology of ice caps since most studies focus on valley glaciers or ice sheet margins. Previously we ... -
Effects of glacier retreat upon glacier-groundwater coupling and biogeochemistry in Central Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The hydrology and biogeochemistry of perennial groundwater springs emerging in the forefields of retreating Svalbard glaciers are considered through a single-site, multi-year study at Foxfonna, and a multi-site spatial ... -
Use climatic space-for-time substitutions with care: Not only climate, but also local environment affect performance of the key forest species bilberry along elevation gradient
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)An urgent aim of ecology is to understand how key species relate to climatic and environmental variation, to better predict their prospects under future climate change. The abundant dwarf shrub bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus ... -
Hydrogen og samspillet mellom teknologi, organisasjon, og diskurs
(Bachelor thesis, 2023)Verden står ovenfor en akselererende klima- og naturkrise, hvor mulighetsvinduet for å forhindre katastrofale konsekvenser er i ferd med å lukke seg. Norge forpliktet seg juridisk til Parisavtalen, og har følgelig mål om ... -
Glacier thinning, recession and advance, and the associated evolution of a glacial lake between 1966 and 2021 at Austerdalsbreen, western Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Jostedalsbreen is the largest ice cap in Norway and mainland Europe. Rapid retreat of many of its outlet glaciers since the 2000s has led to the formation of several glacial lakes. Processes causing the formation and ... -
Bayesian parameter estimation in glacier mass-balance modelling using observations with distinct temporal resolutions and uncertainties
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Empirical glacier mass-balance models are commonly used in assessments of glacier and runoff evolution. Recent satellite-borne geodetic mass-balance observations of global coverage facilitate large-scale model calibration ... -
Mid-Ordovician stratigraphy and volcanism in the Hølonda area, Scandinavian Caledonides: complex tectonomagmatic development following arc–continent collision near the Laurentian margin of Iapetus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Hølonda area of the central Scandinavian Caledonides is a key for models of the Caledonian orogen owing to its Ordovician fauna of Laurentian affinity, now stranded on the Baltic side during opening of the North Atlantic. ... -
Greenhouse Gas Reporting Practices in the Fashion Industry: The Case of Inditex
(Master thesis, 2023)The fashion industry is one of the most emission-intense industriesin the world, contributing with 10% of annual global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To limit global warming and climate change related, emissions must be ... -
Buerdalen – En innfallsport til Folgefonna nasjonalpark
(Bachelor thesis, 2023)Folgefonna nasjonalpark ligger på en halvøy ved Hardangerfjorden og opplever en økt interesse for naturbaserte opplevelser. I forbindelse med den nye merkevaren for Norges nasjonalparker, er det ved utvalgte innfallsporter ... -
