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 ... -
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 ... -
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. ... -
Application of copper(II)-based chemicals induces CH3Br and CH3Cl emissions from soil and seawater
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Methyl bromide (CH3Br) and methyl chloride (CH3Cl) are major carriers of atmospheric bromine and chlorine, respectively, which can catalyze stratospheric ozone depletion. However, in our current understanding, there are ... -
Approaching the Limits: The environmental load of Norwegian leisure consumption
(Master thesis, 2019)Through the participation in leisure activities, people consume goods and services that impact the environment. The emission of greenhouse gas emissions constitutes a large part of these impacts, but official inventories ... -
Arctic climate shifts drive rapid ecosystem responses across the West Greenland landscape
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Prediction of high latitude response to climate change is hampered by poor understanding of the role of nonlinear changes in ecosystem forcing and response. While the effects of nonlinear climate change are often delayed ... -
Arctic terrestrial hydrology: A synthesis of processes, regional effects, and research challenges
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Terrestrial hydrology is central to the Arctic system and its freshwater circulation. Water transport and water constituents vary, however, across a very diverse geography. In this paper, which is a component of the Arctic ... -
Arealbruksendringers påvirkning på avrenning og blågrønne strukturer som et klimatilpasningstiltak mot fremtidige mengder overvann. En case study fra Harakollen i Øvre Eiker, Viken fylke
(Master thesis, 2021)Økt nedbør og økt nedbørintensitet som en konsekvens av klimaendringer, kombinert med en økende grad av impermeable overflater som skyldes fortetning, gir store utfordringer knyttet til overvannshåndtering. I tillegg til ... -
Arealendringene i Ravinelandskapet i Melhus kommune, 1956 – 2021
(Bachelor thesis, 2023)Ravinedaler i marin leire er en særpreget og verdifull landskapstype som er truet på grunn menneskelig ødeleggelse og fragmentering. Til tross for ravinelandskapas høye økologiske og biologiske verdi har ravinelandskapet ... -
Assessing recovery of alpine spoil heaps by vascular plant, bryophyte, and lichen functional traits
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Functional traits are linked to ecosystem processes and services and therefore relevant in recovery assessment. However, traits of bryophytes and lichens, important components of many ecosystems, have received less attention ... -
Assessing restoration success by predicting time to recovery- But by which metric?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)1. Restoration of degraded ecosystems may take decades or even centuries. Accordingly, information about the current direction and speed of recovery provided by methods for predicting time to recovery may give important ... -
Assessing the impact of land-use on soil carbon stored in deep peat
(Master thesis, 2023)Peatlands accumulate organic material in waterlogged soil and provide stable, long-term storage for carbon. However, peatland carbon stocks are sensitive to disturbance from land-use change and the increase in vascular ... -
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, ... -
Attitudes towards onshore wind power in Norway: The role of ownership
(Master thesis, 2019)Over the next two years, Norway stands to triple its production of onshore wind power electricity. This increase in production is not being spearheaded by Norwegian companies, but by foreign investors, constructing billions ... -

(Bachelor thesis, 2017)Denne oppgaven er en del av Aurlandsfjordprosjektet som tar for seg maringeologiske undersøkelser i Indre Aurlandsfjord ved Flåm, Sogn og Fjordane. Formålet med oppgaven er å undersøke hvordan historiske hendelser har ... -
Avsetninger fra historiske hendelser i Indre Aurlandsfjorden, Vest-Norge, over de siste 40 år – del I. De sedimentologiske signaler
(Bachelor thesis, 2017)The purpose of this investigation was to see what sedimentologic signals one could trace in sediment cores in Inner Aurlandsfjorden, Western Norway, and if it would be possible to date these signals and then trace them to ... -
Barrierer og behov for helhetlig overvannshåndtering i små kommuner i Vestland
(Master thesis, 2023)Det forventes hyppigere og kraftigere nedbørshendelser som setter krav til eksisterende løsninger og infrastruktur for overvann. Kommunen har et særskilt ansvar for forsvarlig overvannshåndtering lokalt, og det er nasjonale ... -
