På villplantejakt i hagen
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Private gardens represent important green infrastructure and include a range of habitats (e.g. lawns, flowerbeds and greenbelts), but little focus has been paid to the role of their spontaneously occurring flora for ... -
Marked Seasonal Changes in the Microbial Production, Community Composition, and Biogeochemistry of Glacial Snowpack Ecosystems in the Maritime Antarctic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We describe seasonal changes in the biogeochemistry, microbial community and ecosystem production of two glacial snowpacks in the maritime Antarctic during a cold summer. Frequent snowfall and low, intermittent melt on the ... -
A review of dominant sustainable energy narratives
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The global energy system is presently unsustainable and, even worse, is on a trajectory moving away from becoming sustainable. Thus, changing the present energy system is crucial, and importantly, it is also a prerequisite ... -
Evaluating process-based integrated assessment models of climate change mitigation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Process-based integrated assessment models (IAMs) project long-term transformation pathways in energy and land-use systems under what-if assumptions. IAM evaluation is necessary to improve the models’ usefulness as scientific ... -
The Contribution of Energy Communities to the Upscaling of Photovoltaics in Germany and Italy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Energy communities (EC) are among the new actors in the energy market, playing an important role in the uptake of photovoltaics (PV) in European markets. This paper estimates their aggregate contribution to the low-carbon ... -
Holocene thinning of Darwin and Hatherton glaciers, Antarctica, and implications for grounding-line retreat in the Ross Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Chronologies of glacier deposits in the Transantarctic Mountains provide important constraints on grounding-line retreat during the last deglaciation in the Ross Sea. However, between Beardmore Glacier and Ross Island – a ... -

MetaComNet: A random forest-based framework for making spatial predictions of plant-pollinator interactions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Predicting plant–pollinator interaction networks over space and time will improve our understanding of how environmental change is likely to impact the functioning of ecosystems. Here we propose a framework for producing ... -
Modelling of the gas hydrate potential in Svalbard's fjords
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Large amounts of methane are trapped as natural gas hydrate (NGH) in the sediments of the Arctic. Unlike NGH provinces offshore west of Svalbard (Vestnesa Ridge), NGH potential in Svalbard’s fjords and near-shore environment ... -
Groundwater Flow Through Continuous Permafrost Along Geological Boundary Revealed by Electrical Resistivity Tomography
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In continuous permafrost regions, pathways for transport of sub-permafrost groundwater to the surface sometimes perforate the frozen ground and result in the formation of a pingo. Explanations offered for the locations of ... -
Concurrent MORB-type and ultrapotassic volcanism in an extensional basin along the Laurentian Iapetus margin: Tectonomagmatic response to Ordovician arc-continent collision and subduction polarity flip
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Arc-continent collision, followed by subduction polarity flip, occurs during closure of oceanic basins and contributes to the growth of continental crust. Such a setting may lead to a highly unusual association of ultrapotassic ... -
The Skuggliberga unit of the Oppdal area, central Scandinavian Caledonides: Calc-alkaline pyroclastic volcanism in a fluvial to shallow-marine basin following a mid-ordovician orogenic event
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We present field observations, geochemical data and detrital zircon U–Pb ages from the newly defined Skuggliberga unit of the Oppdal area, central Norwegian Caledonides. The unit occurs in two separate areas, where it ... -
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 ... -
UNESCO World Heritage Centre in Aurlandsvangen: Balancing Energy Efficiency, CO2 Emissions and Costs when Remodeling the Building Structure
(Master thesis, 2021)Greater focus on energy-efficient buildings made of low-emission material has potential to reduce large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions, thus creating a more sustainable construction industry. Since cost is often ... -
Terrestrial lidar and photogrammetry for rockfall hazard assessment of natural rock walls
(Master thesis, 2021)Rock falls have been a major threat to infrastructure in the Norwegian landscape, particularly locations located in the steep valley landscapes in the Norwegian fjords. Roads channeled through these landscapes are particularly ... -
Glacial-lake outburst floods of Harbardsbreen, Western Norway, and their relationship to long-term glacier mass balance and climate change
(Master thesis, 2021)In this study I have used various sources of satellite imagery to present long term changes of the two glacial lakes of Harbardsbreen, Luster municipality, Western Norway. I have made a time series which ranges from the ... -
Estimating peat occurrence by using remotely sensed data at Skrimfjella, Norway
(Master thesis, 2021)Peatlands are undeniably an important asset in climate change management. Still, even today many of the natural peatlands in Norway are in danger of being dried in order to build new cabins, highways or wind parks. ... -
Climate change adaptation in traditional livelihoods: A study of facilitation in Norway and Nepal
(Master thesis, 2021)The climate changes are now leading to a common understanding of the importance of adaptation to prevent disastrous outcomes on nature and people. In Norway and Nepal people engaged in reindeer herding and agriculture, ... -
Keeping old buildings green with relevant technology: A case study of UNESCO World Heritage Center, Nærøyfjordområdet
(Master thesis, 2021)Today the building sector accounts for around 40% of all energy used and emits around 30% of global Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. Buildings play a large role in peoples lives as we spend around 90% of our lives inside ...
