Sustainable stormwater management in Sogndal
(Master thesis, 2019)Stormwater management is a strategy of handling excess runoff water, which accumulate from precipitation and flow over the surface. There is a need for stormwater management in the northern side of the city of Sogndal, ... -
Svartelistede planter i privathager
(Bachelor thesis, 2015)Det stedegne naturmangfoldet i Norge er truet av fremmede arter, som i økende grad får rotfeste i norsk natur. I mange tilfeller utgjør fremmede arter en trussel ved at de fortrenger og utkonkurrerer stedegne arter og ... -

Synfaring av utvalde haustingsskogslokalitetar i Sogn og Fjordane: Tilstand og verdivurdering
(HiSF_Rapport;3/2015, Research report, 2015)Rapporten presenterer tilstanden for 15 lokalitetar/område med haustingsskog i Sogn og Fjordane. Føremålet med registreringa er å vurdere tilstanden for denne naturtypen i fylket og om mogeleg tilrå konkrete skjøtselstiltak ... -
Tapt karbonlagring i myr ved hytteutbygging på Turufjell
(Bachelor thesis, 2020)Myr inneholder mer karbon enn noe annet terrestrisk økosystem, men ved utbygging i myr vil karbonet bli sluppet ut. Myra vil dermed gå fra å være et karbonsluk til en karbonkilde. Hvordan vi forvalter myra kan ha stor ... -
Techno-economic assessment of key hydrogen production and distribution technologies in Western Norway
(Master thesis, 2023)The industry and transportation sectors are the main sources of CO2 emissions in Norway. These sectors are difficult to be decarbonized through direct electrification, mainly due to technological limitations, and pose major ... -
Tectonic evolution of syn- to late-orogenic sedimentary- volcanic basins in the central Norwegian Caledonides
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We present new structural, geochemical and U–Pb zircon data from syn- to late-orogenic sedimentary–volcanic basins in the southwestern part of the Trondheim Nappe Complex, central Norwegian Caledonides. In this area, a ... -
Tekno-økonomisk sammenligning av fotovoltaiske solcellepaneler (PV) og hybride fotovoltaisk-termiske solcellepaneler (PVT) for Quality Hotel Sogndal
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)I denne kvantitative oppgaven ser vi nærmere på hvordan Quality Hotel Sogndal kan få en grønnere klimaprofil ved å benytte seg av solenergi. Hotellet har allerede gjort renoveringer som har ført til energieffektivisering, ... -
Temporal Variability of Surface Reflectance Supersedes Spatial Resolution in Defining Greenland’s Bare-Ice Albedo
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Ice surface albedo is a primary modulator of melt and runoff, yet our understanding of how reflectance varies over time across the Greenland Ice Sheet remains poor. This is due to a disconnect between point or transect ... -
Teori- og forskningsevaluering av forskningsarbeidet: Evans, J. og Green, R. (2003), "Why did British electricity prices fall after 1988?", Cambridge Working Papers in Economics CWPE 0326
(HSF notat, Book, 2004)I notatet gir jeg en kort presentasjon av Evans og Green sin artikkel om det britiske kraftmarkedet. Deretter gjennomfører jeg en teori- og forskningsevaluering av deres arbeid med utgangspunkt i Karl Popper sitt kriterium ... -
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 ... -
Tettstedsutvikling i Sogndal kommune fra 1990 – 2018 : kartlegging av arealbruksendringer
(Bachelor thesis, 2019)Som en følge av befolkningsvekst og urbanisering har byspredning blitt et økende problem i global sammenheng, da dette medfører nedbygging av naturområder, matjord og økt klimagassutslipp. Dette er uheldig da vi kun har ... -

The devil is in the detail: non-additive and context-dependent plant population responses to increasing temperature and precipitation. Plant demography in a warmer & wetter climate
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In climate change ecology, simplistic research approaches may yield unrealistically simplistic answers to often more complicated problems. In particular, the complexity of vegetation responses to global climate change begs ... -
The greenhouse gas mitigation potential of wood-based jet-biofuels – A case study for Western Norway
(Master thesis, 2019)The Norwegian aviation industry has proposed substituting jet-fuels with biofuels based on forest biomass. This can potentially contribute to mitigating the expected increase in greenhouse gas emissions from aviation ... -
