Early - Middle Ordovician sedimentation and bimodal volcanism at the margin of Iapetus: the Trollhøtta–Kinna Basin of the central Norwegian Caledonides
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The late Neoproterozoic–Paleozoic Iapetus Ocean developed between Laurentia, Baltica, Siberia and Gondwana. Its Paleozoic closure history is recorded by volcano-sedimentary successions within the Caledonian orogen of ... -
Eaten but not always beaten: Winners and losers along a red deer herbivory gradient in boreal forest
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Questions How does the understorey plant community in a boreal forest respond to variations in red deer herbivory intensity? Do the conclusions depend on the organizational level (taxon, growth form or functional trait) ... -
Effects of glacier retreat upon glacier-groundwater coupling and biogeochemistry in Central Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The hydrology and biogeochemistry of perennial groundwater springs emerging in the forefields of retreating Svalbard glaciers are considered through a single-site, multi-year study at Foxfonna, and a multi-site spatial ... -
Emergence of new industries in peripheral regions: the role of narratives in delegitimation of onshore wind in the Arctic Finnmark region
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)This paper discusses how narratives influence the legitimation of new industries in peripheral regions. We contribute to the literature a discussion of the emergence of green industries in peripheral regions, but particularly ... -

Environmental Restoration in Hydropower Development — Lessons from Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Hydropower is expanding globally and is regarded a keymeasure formitigating climate change, but it also results inmajor environmental degradation, both at local scale andmore widely. We can learn lessons about how restoration ... -
A Europe-wide inventory of citizen-led energy action with data from 29 countries and over 10000 initiatives
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Numerous case studies show that citizens engage in various ways in renewable and low carbon energy projects, thereby contributing to the sustainable energy transition. To date, however, a systematic and cross-country ... -
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 ... -
Evaluation of design flood estimates - a case study for Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive fit of probability distributions to annual maximum flood data, and in particular to evaluate (i) which combination of distribution and estimation method gives the best ... -
Evolution of a high-latitude sediment drift inside a glacially-carved trough based on high-resolution seismic stratigraphy (Kveithola, NW Barents Sea)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Kveithola is a glacially-carved, E-W trending trough located in the NW Barents Sea, an epicontinental shelf sea of the Arctic Ocean located off northern Norway and Russia. A set of confined sediment drifts (the “Kveithola ... -
Extreme precipitation induced landslide event on 30 July 2019 in Jølster, western Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)A torrential rain event struck western Norway on Tuesday 30 July 2019. Most severely affected was the Jølster community, where numerous landslides and floods damaged public infrastructure and private property. This resulted ... -
FAIR Metadata Standards for Low Carbon Energy Research—A Review of Practices and How to Advance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The principles of Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability (FAIR) have been put forward to guide optimal sharing of data. The potential for industrial and social innovation is vast. Domain-specific ... -
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 ... -
Field study of a direct absorption solar collector with eco-friendly nanofluid
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The concept of direct absorption solar collector (DASC) was introduced in the 1970s. Multiple laboratory studies proved that nanofluid-based DASCs presented a fruitful alternative to conventional solar collectors. However, ... -
Five criteria for global sustainable development
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)A clear understanding of the global-level sustainable development concept is necessary before applying it to projects at a national, local or firm level. Such lower-level projects may concern managing production and ... -
Fluid flow and pore pressure development throughout the evolution of a trough mouth fan, western Barents Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Using a combination of geophysical and geotechnical data from Storfjorden Trough Mouth Fan off southern Svalbard, we investigate the hydrogeology of the continental margin and how this is affected by Quaternary glacial ... -
