Buffering effects of soil seed banks on plant community composition in response to land use and climate.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Aim Climate and land use are key determinants of biodiversity, with past and ongoing changes posing serious threats to global ecosystems. Unlike most other organism groups, plant species can possess dormant life‐history ... -
Community dynamics can modify the direction of simulated warming effects on crop yield
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Climate change affects agriculture through a range of direct and indirect pathways. These include direct changes to impacts of pests and diseases on crops and indirect effects produced by interactions between organisms. ... -
FAIR and Open Energy Data for the wind Energy Sector
(Master thesis, 2021)The future of the planet depends on how we produce energy. A reliable, affordable, sustainable, and decarbonized energy system is vital for the energy sector. Clean energy development is essential for tackling climate ... -
Glacial-lake outburst floods of Harbardsbreen, Western Norway, and their relationship to long-term glacier mass balance and climate change
(Master thesis, 2021)In this study I have used various sources of satellite imagery to present long term changes of the two glacial lakes of Harbardsbreen, Luster municipality, Western Norway. I have made a time series which ranges from the ... -
Glacier area changes in the central Chilean and Argentinean Andes 1955 – 2013/2014
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)To improve our knowledge of glacier area changes in the central Chilean and Argentinean Andes (32°9′S–33°4′S), two new glacier inventories from 1989 to 2013/14 are compared with a reinterpreted inventory from 1955. Comparisons ... -
Greenland surface air temperature changes from 1981 to 2019 and implications for ice-sheet melt and mass-balance change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We provide an updated analysis of instrumental Greenland monthly temperature data to 2019, focusing mainly on coastal stations but also analysing ice‐sheet records from Swiss Camp and Summit. Significant summer (winter) ... -
High Arctic flowering phenology and plant-pollinator interactions in response to delayed snow melt and simulated warming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Abstract The projected alterations to climate in the High Arctic are likely to result in changes to the short growing season, particularly with varying predicted effects on winter snowfall, the timing of summer snowmelt ... -
Lepidoptera Larvae Responses to Induced Chemical Defenses in Bilberry (Vaccinium Myrtillus) Grown in Two Climatic Conditions
(Master thesis, 2018-05)Host plant and herbivorous insect relationships are complex and intricate as they involve interactions influenced by many biotic and abiotic factors, leading to varying and often unpredictive patterns of insect populations ... -
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 ... -
Reconstructing Greenland Ice Sheet meltwater discharge through the Watson River (1949–2017)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
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 ... -
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 ...
