En empirisk studie av barrierer og suksesskriterier for geotermisk energi i Norge.
(Bachelor thesis, 2019)Geotermisk energi har et enormt potensial for energiutvinning, men er en relativt liten del av det norske energibildet i dag. Med den 25. klimakonvensjonen og dagens energiomstilling mot et lavutslippssamfunn i tankene, ... -
Seasonal Dynamics of Methane and Carbon Dioxide Evasion From an Open System Pingo: Lagoon Pingo, Svalbard
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The processes associated with the release of CH4 and CO2 from sub-permafrost groundwaters are considered through a year-long monitoring investigation at a terrestrial seepage site in West Spitsbergen. The site is an open ... -
Spatial Variability of Antarctic Surface Snow Bacterial Communities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)It was once a long-held view that the Antarctic was a pristine environment with low biomass, low biodiversity and low rates of microbial activity. However, as the intensity of scientific investigation has increased, so ... -
Anticlockwise metamorphic pressure–temperature paths and nappe stacking in the Reisa Nappe Complex in the Scandinavian Caledonides, northern Norway: evidence for weakening of lower continental crust before and during continental collision
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This study investigates the tectonostratigraphy and metamorphic and tectonic evolution of the Caledonian Reisa Nappe Complex (RNC; from bottom to top: Vaddas, Kåfjord, and Nordmannvik nappes) in northern Troms, Norway. ... -
Glacier naled evolution and relation to the subglacial drainage system based on water chemistry and GPR surveys (Werenskioldbreen, SW Svalbard)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Glacier naledi are extrusive ice masses that appear in front of glaciers as a consequence of refreezing of meltwater seepage during the accumulation season. These structures provide a unique opportunity to understand ... -
Distribution and ecology of Trichocolea tomentella in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The liverwort Trichocolea tomentella is known from 65 localities in southern Norway. Almost half of these are in Hordaland county in Western Norway. T. tomentella has been observed at many localities (42%) in the last ... -
Skredfarevurdering for tomt 57/27 i indre Haugsdal, Masfjorden kommune
(Research report, 2019)Det ble gjennomført ei skredfarevurdering for ei tomt eid av Thomas Løvik i indre Haugsdal med gards- og bruksnummer 57/27. Dimensjonerende skredtype er steinsprang. Steinsprang fra pallstokkhatten er vurdert til å ha utløp ... -
Assessing the Impact of Renewable Energy on Regional Sustainability—A Comparative Study of Sogn og Fjordane (Norway) and Okinawa (Japan)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The drive to expand renewable energies is often in direct conflict with sustainable development goals. Thus, it is important that energy policies account for potential trade-offs. We assess the interlinkages between energy, ... -
Geometry and ice dynamics of the Darwin–Hatherton glacial system, Transantarctic Mountains
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The Darwin–Hatherton Glacial system (DHGS) connects the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) with the Ross Ice Shelf and is a key area for understanding past variations in ice thickness of surrounding ice masses. Here we present ... -
Surface Air Temperature Fluctuations and Lapse Rates on Olivares Gamma Glacier, Rio Olivares Basin, Central Chile, from a Novel Meteorological Sensor Network
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Empirically based studies of glacier meteorology, especially for the Southern Hemisphere, are relatively sparse in the literature. Here, we use an innovative network of highly portable, low-cost thermometers to report on ... -
Annual River Runoff Variations and Trends for the Andes Cordillera
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We analyzed modeled river runoff variations west of the Andes Cordillera’s continental divide for 1979/80–2013/14 (35 years). Our foci were annual runoff conditions, runoff origins (rain, snowmelt, and glacier ice), and ... -
Spatial and temporal dynamics of dissolved organic carbon, chlorophyll, nutrients, and trace metals in maritime Antarctic snow and snowmelt
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Despite scientific interest in the investigation of biogeochemical changes in meltwaters of the Antarctic Peninsula, we still lack an understanding of the seasonal dynamics and release of dissolved and particulate carbon, ... -
Groundwater discharge from a rock-slope failure system in phyllitic rocks influencing fjord basin hydrodynamics,Stampa in Aurland, western Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This study aims at providing an insight into groundwater recharge and flow in the rock-slope failure system of the Stampa area above the inner part of the Aurlandsfjord. Depending on season and precipitation, the average ... -
Scale-dependent effects of landscape composition and configuration on deer-vehicle collisions and their relevance to mitigation and planning options
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) cause animal suffering, traffic safety problems and socioeconomic costs and must be assessed in landscape planning and road management. We investigated whether landscape composition and ... -
Evaluation of design flood estimates - a case study for Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive fit of probability distributions to annual maximum flood data, and in particular to evaluate (i) which combination of distribution and estimation method gives the best ... -
Slåttemark, veileder for restaurering og skjøtsel
(NIBIO Rapport;4: 151, Research report, 2018)Slåttemark er en trua naturtype med status CR, kritisk trua på rødliste for naturtyper, 2018. Naturtypen har status som utvalgt naturtype, UN, gjennom Naturmangfoldloven. I 2009 fikk naturtypen egen handlingsplan der ... -
Haustingsskog [revidert] - Rettleiar for restaurering og skjøtsel
(NIBIO Rapport, Research report, 2018)Haustingsskog er lauvskog der trea har blitt eller framleis blir hausta regelmessig i form av «styving» eller «stubbehausting». Dette er gamle driftsformer, som har vore vanlege over heile landet. Haustingsskogane representerer ... -
Ice-dammed lake and ice margin evolution during the Holocene in the Kangerlussuaq area of west Greenland
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)There is a lack of detailed information on the Holocene evolution of the west Greenland ice margin, not least because it was farther inland than at present and thus at present is covered by ice. Suggestions have been put ... -
Geomorphological investigation of multiphase glacitectonic composite ridge systems in Svalbard
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Some surge-type glaciers on the High-Arctic archipelago of Svalbard have large glacitectonic composite ridge systems at their terrestrial margins. These have formed by rapid glacier advance into proglacial sediments during ... -
