Sammen om fremtiden: En mulighetsstudie for et levende Hanahaug
(Bachelor thesis, 2016) -
Saproxylic beetles' morphological traits and higher trophic guilds indicate boreal forest naturalness
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Forests contribute to numerous ecosystem functions and services and contain a large proportion of terrestrial biodiversity, but they are being negatively impaced by anthropogenic activities. Forests that have never been ... -
Scale-dependence of vegetation-environment relationships in semi-natural grasslands
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008) -
Scale-dependent effects of landscape composition and configuration on deer-vehicle collisions and their relevance to mitigation and planning options
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) cause animal suffering, traffic safety problems and socioeconomic costs and must be assessed in landscape planning and road management. We investigated whether landscape composition and ... -
The seasonal dynamics of a High Arctic plant–visitor network: temporal observations and responses to delayed snow melt
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Plant–visitor food webs provide important insights into species interactions, and more information about their seasonal dynamics is vital to understanding the resilience of species to external pressures. Studies of Arctic ... -
Seasonal Dynamics of Methane and Carbon Dioxide Evasion From an Open System Pingo: Lagoon Pingo, Svalbard
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The processes associated with the release of CH4 and CO2 from sub-permafrost groundwaters are considered through a year-long monitoring investigation at a terrestrial seepage site in West Spitsbergen. The site is an open ... -
Seasonal Snowpack Microbial Ecology and Biogeochemistry on a High Arctic Ice Cap Reveals Negligible Autotrophic Activity During Spring and Summer Melt
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Snowpack ecosystem studies are primarily derived from research on snow-on-soil ecosystems. Greater research attention needs to be directed to the study of glacial snow covers as most snow cover lies on glaciers and ice ... -
Sedimenthistorie fra Fjærlandsfjorden, Vest-Norge, de siste 400 år
(Bachelor thesis, 2018) -
Sedimentære signaler av hydrografiske endringer i Hafslovatnet, Vest-Norge, over de siste 40 år
(Bachelor thesis, 2019)Hafslovatnet, inkludert Tverrbergvatnet og Straumavatnet, ligger i Luster kommune, Vest-Norge. Her har det siden 1980-årene blitt rapportert om gjengroing og erosjon i vassdraget, uten at det er påvist noen spesifikk årsak. ... -
Seed banks are biodiversity reservoirs: species–area relationships above versus below ground
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015) -
Seismic and electrical geophysical characterization of an incipient coastal open-system pingo: Lagoon Pingo, Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Whilst there has been a recent appreciation for the role of open-system pingos in providing a fluid-flow conduit through continuous permafrost that enables methane release, the formation and internal structure of these ... -
SEM-EDS and water chemistry characteristics at the early stages of glacier recession reveal biogeochemical coupling between proglacial sediments and meltwater
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Most glaciers worldwide are undergoing climate-forced recession, but the impact of glacier changes on biogeochemical cycles is unclear. This study examines the influence of proglacial sediment weathering on meltwater ... -
Sequences of basin water exchanges in the Outer and Inner Barsnesfjord
(Bachelor thesis, 2017)Four hydrographical data sets of recent periods (1984-2016) are used to analyze the exchange processes of the basin water of the Inner and Outer Barsnesfjord in West-ern Norway. The basins are periodically anoxic. The data ... -
Short-term inflow forecasting in a dam-regulated river in Southwest Norway using causal variational mode decomposition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Climate change affects patterns and uncertainties associated with river water regimes, which significantly impact hydropower generation and reservoir storage operation. Hence, reliable and accurate short-term inflow ... -
Signaler fra avsetning av forurensede stoffer i og rundt Hafslovatnet (Vest-Norge) over de siste 40 årene
(Bachelor thesis, 2019)Analyse av jordprøvene påviste forurensing i Botn og ved Soget ved Hafslovatnet, Luster kommune, Vest-Norge. Feltobservasjoner avgrenset en søppelfylling ved Soget på en annen plass enn der hvor Miljødirektoratet mistenkte ... -
Silicon isotopes in Arctic and sub-Arctic glacial meltwaters: the role of subglacial weathering in the silicon cycle
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Glacial environments play an important role in high-latitude marine nutrient cycling, potentially contributing significant fluxes of silicon (Si) to the polar oceans, either as dissolved silicon (DSi) or as dissolvable ... -
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 ... -
Sinking Islands in the Sky: Projecting the future distributions of Ranunculus glacialis, Poa flexuosa and Trisetum spicatum in Jotunheimen, Norway under climate change
(Master thesis, 2018-05)Introduction Changes in species distributional range as a response to climate change is well documented. The changes are substantial along elevational gradients, and the general trend is that the warming has caused an ... -
Ski Tourism and Climate Change: The case study of Sogndal Ski Centre
(Master thesis, 2019)Ski tourism in Norway, a highly snow-dependent industry may be seriously affected by climate change. This thesis shows that Sogndal ski centre (Western Norway) will become a victim from climate change impacts whilst at the ...
