Weighing the Importance of Energy Savings, CO2 Emissions and Costs When Implementing Renewable Energy Technologies
(Master thesis, 2021)Buildings and construction of buildings account for around one third of the energy consumption in the world. A large investment in energy efficiency can reduce the energy use of Norwegian buildings by 39 TWh from 2020 ... -
Field boundary features can stabilise bee populations and the pollination of mass-flowering crops in rotational systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Pollinators experience large spatiotemporal fluctuations in resource availability when mass-flowering crops are rotated with resource-poor cereal crops. Yet, few studies have considered the effect this has on pollinator ... -
Aerodynamic roughness length of crevassed tidewater glaciers from UAV mapping
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The aerodynamic roughness length (z_0) is an important parameter in the bulk approach for calculating turbulent fluxes and their contribution to ice melt. However, z_0 estimates for heavily crevassed tidewater glaciers are ... -
Drainage system and thermal structure of a High Arctic polythermal glacier: Waldemarbreen, western Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Understanding glacier drainage system behaviour and its response to increased meltwater production faces several challenges in the High Arctic because many glaciers are transitioning from polythermal to almost entirely ... -
The dessau grassland experiment-impact of fertilization on forage quality and species assembly in a species-rich alluvial meadow
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Since alluvial meadows of river valleys of the Cnidion dubii are protected by the EU Habitats Directive, reconciling farmers’ demands for forage quality with the objective of maintaining them in good conservation status ... -
Modellering av fremtidig avrenning under klimascenariene RCP2.6, RCP4.5 og RCP8.5 - en case studie fra Vestfossen, Øvre Eiker i Viken fylke
(Master thesis, 2021)Det er i dag bred enighet innen klimaforskning om at det vil forekomme endringer i nedbørsmønsteret over hele Norge som et resultat av stigende temperaturer, forårsaket av antropogene klimaendringer. I hvor stor grad og ... -
Interpretation of environmental changes in a long sediment core from the Sogndalsfjord, Western Norway, using benthic foraminifera as the environmental proxy
(Master thesis, 2021)This study was conducted on a 291 cm long sediment core, dated to approximately 10.800 cal. BP, collected from the Sogndalsfjord. The aim of this study is to describe the past environmental conditions in the Sogndalsfjord, ... -
Towards Green Trust: An Interpretation of Nordic Choice Hotels’ Environmental Sustainability Performance based on Customer Feedback Data
(Master thesis, 2021)This study examines how customers perceive the environmental sustainability performance (ESP) of Nordic Choice Hotels (NCH) from a new and under-researched lens, namely semi-longitudinal customer feedback data. Drawing ... -
Et integrerende perspektiv på lokal klimaomstilling: en casestudie av Sunnfjord kommune
(Master thesis, 2021)Klimaomstilling er i økende grad anerkjent både i forskningsmiljøer og politiske miljøer som nødvendig for å møte dagens og fremtidens klimaendringer og utfordringer, men det er ingen universal enighet om innholdet, skalaen ... -
Simplified Life Cycle Assessment of Onshore Power Supply for Cruise Ships
(Master thesis, 2021)This thesis focuses on the implementation and usage of onshore power supply (OPS) for cruise ships at berth and the reduction of emissions and air pollution caused by the latter. The thesis is considered innovative as it ... -
Hydrographical History of 7 Fjord Basins Along the Norwegian Sognefjorden with Emphasis on Oxygen Conditions
(Bachelor thesis, 2021)Oxygen concentration, temperature and salinity within the Barsnesfjorden, Sogndalsfjorden, Nærøyfjorden, Ikjefjorden, Østerbøvatn, Fuglsetfjorden and Finnabotn in Western Norway were profiled over time and along the water ... -
Regional-scale phytoplankton dynamics and their association with glacier meltwater runoff in Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Arctic amplification of global warming has accelerated mass loss of Arctic land ice over the past decades and led to increased freshwater discharge into glacier fjords and adjacent seas. Glacier freshwater discharge is ... -
Citizen engagement in climate change adaptation
(Master thesis, 2022)Adaptation has developed as a significant topic of study and evaluation among researchers working in the field of climate change. According to the vast majority of scholarly research, the most important factor in determining ... -
Varför ser den svenska och norska politiska vänstern olika på vindkraft?
(Master thesis, 2022)Debatten om vindkraft har blivit polariserad, och i Sverige och Norge har de politiska partierna på vänsterkanten ställt sig på olika sidor av debatten. Det svenska Vänsterpartiet vill se en storskalig utbyggnad av vindkraft, ... -
Jordkarbon i gran- og furuskog av varierende alder på Kaupanger
(Master thesis, 2022)Den boreale barskogen er det økosystemet som lagrer mest karbon i Norge på grunn av sitt store areal. Hvordan skogen bør drives for å kunne bidra mest til lagring av karbon og menneskeskapte utslipp diskuteres. Frem til ... -
