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 ... -

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 ... -
Moss species benefits from breakdown of cyclic rodent dynamics in boreal forests
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2007)Bryophytes have increased in abundance in northern regions, and climate changes have been proposed to account for this change. However, changes in the population dynamics of microtine rodents may also contribute to changes ... -
Mulige endringer i forekomst av ulike arter i og langs Sognefjorden de siste 65 år : resultater fra en spørreundersøkelse
(Bachelor thesis, 2012)Denne kandidatoppgaven handler først og fremt om å finne ut om det stemmer at Sognefjorden ”er blitt tom” for fisk. Det har vært mange avisartikler som har handlet nettopp om dette. Det synes som om flere og flere fiskere ... -

Mulighetsstudie Liahøvda
(Bachelor thesis, 2023)Liahøvda er lokalisert sør for Beitostølen i Øystre Slidre Kommune og ligger på nordsiden av en kolle. Store deler av området består av tett skog og åpne myrer, som gir grunnlag for et rikt dyreliv og artsmangfold. Det er ... -
Multi-Temporal Satellite Image Composites in Google Earth Engine for Improved Landslide Visibility: A Case Study of a Glacial Landscape
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Regional early warning systems for landslides rely on historic data to forecast future events and to verify and improve alarms. However, databases of landslide events are often spatially biased towards roads or other ... -
Multiannual effects of induced plant defenses: Are defended plants good or bad neighbors?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Defenses induced by herbivore feeding or phytohormones such as methyl jasmonate (MeJA) can affect growth, reproduction, and herbivory, not only on the affected individual but also in its neighboring plants. Here, we report ... -
