Mehuken vindpark
(Bachelor thesis, 2020)Planeten vår står overfor en eksistensiell trussel kjent som klimaendringer. Konsekvensene av klimaendringene er uvisse og kan påvirke alt av liv på jorden. For å bekjempe disse klimaendringene må de globale CO2-utslippene ... -
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 ... -
Metodar for å undersøkje supraglasiale elvar: Basert på flyfoto, feltstudiar og drøfting av metode
(Bachelor thesis, 2014) -
The MIAmaxent R package: Variable transformation and model selection for species distribution models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The widely used “Maxent” software for modeling species distributions from presence‐only data (Phillips et al., Ecological Modelling, 190, 2006, 231) tends to produce models with high‐predictive performance but low‐ecological ... -
Microbial iron reduction and greenhouse gas production in response to organic matter amendment and temperature increase of periglacial sediments, Bolterdalen, Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Arctic permafrost soils store substantial reserves of organic matter (OM) from which microbial transformation contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions of CH4 and CO2. However, many younger sediments exposed ... -
Microstructurally-constrained versus bulk fault gouge K-Ar dating
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Structural, mineralogical and geochronological data were collected from two brittle fault zones (Fault I and II) deforming the Ordovician Rolvsnes granodiorite in SW Norway. Microstructurally-constrained K–Ar data from ... -
Mid-Ordovician stratigraphy and volcanism in the Hølonda area, Scandinavian Caledonides: complex tectonomagmatic development following arc–continent collision near the Laurentian margin of Iapetus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Hølonda area of the central Scandinavian Caledonides is a key for models of the Caledonian orogen owing to its Ordovician fauna of Laurentian affinity, now stranded on the Baltic side during opening of the North Atlantic. ... -
Mikronett basert elektrifisering av avsidesliggende samfunn på øyer i Norge
(Bachelor thesis, 2020)Elektrifiseringen av avsidesliggende områder kan være ressurskrevende og kreve mye planlegging. Under en slik planleggingsprosess dukker det opp flere alternativer for elektrifiseringen eller opprustningen. Denne ... -
Miljøkonsekvenser i det akvatiske miljøet som følge av vannkrafttiltak
(Bachelor thesis, 2021) -
Modeling of flood and retention in the Sogn allotment garden
(Master thesis, 2022)More frequent and severe rainfall due to climate change, on the one hand, and more impervious surfaces due to urbanization, on the other hand, are increasing the risk of urban floods. Sogn allotment garden is mainly a green ... -
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 ... -
Modellering og bestemmelse av brevolum og vintermassebalanse på Frudalsbreen
(Bachelor thesis, 2018) -
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 ... -
Modelling the effect of surface hoar formation on the temperature gradient and vapor pressure gradient in a snowpack
(Bachelor thesis, 2019)Buried surface hoar layers and faceted crystals are both typical persistent weak layers for initiating an avalanche. Faceted crystals are formed under large vapor pressure gradients which are made by large temperature ... -
Modelling the potential impact of recent climate change on potato, barley, and wheat yield in Norway
(Master thesis, 2021)Food security and eliminating hunger are fundamental to fulfilling the global sustainable development goals, but the sensitivity of food production to climate change has made this goal challenging as it accounts for a third ... -
Molecular and ecological plant defense responses along an elevational gradient in a boreal ecosystem
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Plants have the capacity to alter their phenotype in response to environmental factors, such as herbivory, a phenomenon called phenotypic plasticity. However, little is known on how plant responses to herbivory are modulated ... -
Molecular evidence that only two opsin subfamilies, the blue light- (SWS2) and green light-sensitive (RH2), drive color vision in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua).
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014) -
Molecular responses of genetically modified maize to abiotic stresses as determined through proteomic and metabolomic analyses
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Some genetically modified (GM) plants have transgenes that confer tolerance to abiotic stressors. Meanwhile, other transgenes may interact with abiotic stressors, causing pleiotropic effects that will affect the plant ... -
Monitoring glacial lakes and outburst floods around Jostedalsbreen ice cap, Norway
(Master thesis, 2022)As a result of global climate change, glacial lakes are undergoing rapid changes and are becoming more dynamic, posing a risk of outburst floods for communities and infrastructures nearby (Shugar et al., 2020). With no ... -
More warm-adapted species in soil seed banks than in herb layer plant communities across Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)1. Responses to climate change have often been found to lag behind the rate of warming that has occurred. In addition to dispersal limitation potentially restricting spread at leading range margins, the persistence of ...
