40Ar/39Ar constraints on the tectonic evolution of the central part of the Mesoproterozoic Sveconorwegian orogen
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Structural data combined with 40Ar/39Ar geochronology of hornblende, muscovite, biotite and plagioclase from 37 localities along three transects allow the time-constrained reconstruction of the Sveconorwegian deformation ... -
A long-term dataset of climatic mass balance, snow conditions, and runoff in Svalbard (1957-2018)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The climate in Svalbard is undergoing amplified change compared to the global mean. This has major implications for runoff from glaciers and seasonal snow on land. We use a coupled energy balance–subsurface model, forced ... -
A predictive model for the spectral "bioalbedo" of snow
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)We present the first physical model for the spectral “bioalbedo” of snow, which predicts the spectral reflectance of snowpacks contaminated with variable concentrations of red snow algae with varying diameters and pigment ... -
Advancing restoration ecology: A new approach to predict time to recovery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)1. Species composition is a vital attribute of any ecosystem. Accordingly, ecological restoration often has the original, or “natural,” species composition as its target. However, we still lack adequate methods for predicting ... -
Aerodynamic roughness length of crevassed tidewater glaciers from UAV mapping
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The aerodynamic roughness length (z_0) is an important parameter in the bulk approach for calculating turbulent fluxes and their contribution to ice melt. However, z_0 estimates for heavily crevassed tidewater glaciers are ... -
Annual River Runoff Variations and Trends for the Andes Cordillera
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We analyzed modeled river runoff variations west of the Andes Cordillera’s continental divide for 1979/80–2013/14 (35 years). Our foci were annual runoff conditions, runoff origins (rain, snowmelt, and glacier ice), and ... -
Antarctic Bedmap data: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) sharing of 60 years of ice bed, surface, and thickness data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)One of the key components of this research has been the mapping of Antarctic bed topography and ice thickness parameters that are crucial for modelling ice flow and hence for predicting future ice loss and the ensuing sea ... -
Antarctic Blue Ice Areas are hydrologically active, nutrient rich and contain microbially diverse cryoconite holes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Antarctica is the coldest, windiest and least inhabited place on Earth. One of its most enigmatic regions is scoured by katabatic winds blue ice that covers 235,000 km2 of the Antarctic fringe. Here, we demonstrate that ... -
Anticlockwise metamorphic pressure–temperature paths and nappe stacking in the Reisa Nappe Complex in the Scandinavian Caledonides, northern Norway: evidence for weakening of lower continental crust before and during continental collision
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This study investigates the tectonostratigraphy and metamorphic and tectonic evolution of the Caledonian Reisa Nappe Complex (RNC; from bottom to top: Vaddas, Kåfjord, and Nordmannvik nappes) in northern Troms, Norway. ... -
Application of copper(II)-based chemicals induces CH3Br and CH3Cl emissions from soil and seawater
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Methyl bromide (CH3Br) and methyl chloride (CH3Cl) are major carriers of atmospheric bromine and chlorine, respectively, which can catalyze stratospheric ozone depletion. However, in our current understanding, there are ... -
Arctic climate shifts drive rapid ecosystem responses across the West Greenland landscape
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Prediction of high latitude response to climate change is hampered by poor understanding of the role of nonlinear changes in ecosystem forcing and response. While the effects of nonlinear climate change are often delayed ... -
Arctic terrestrial hydrology: A synthesis of processes, regional effects, and research challenges
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Terrestrial hydrology is central to the Arctic system and its freshwater circulation. Water transport and water constituents vary, however, across a very diverse geography. In this paper, which is a component of the Arctic ... -
Assessing recovery of alpine spoil heaps by vascular plant, bryophyte, and lichen functional traits
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Functional traits are linked to ecosystem processes and services and therefore relevant in recovery assessment. However, traits of bryophytes and lichens, important components of many ecosystems, have received less attention ... -
Assessing restoration success by predicting time to recovery- But by which metric?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)1. Restoration of degraded ecosystems may take decades or even centuries. Accordingly, information about the current direction and speed of recovery provided by methods for predicting time to recovery may give important ... -
Assessing the Impact of Renewable Energy on Regional Sustainability—A Comparative Study of Sogn og Fjordane (Norway) and Okinawa (Japan)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The drive to expand renewable energies is often in direct conflict with sustainable development goals. Thus, it is important that energy policies account for potential trade-offs. We assess the interlinkages between energy, ... -
Bayesian parameter estimation in glacier mass-balance modelling using observations with distinct temporal resolutions and uncertainties
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Empirical glacier mass-balance models are commonly used in assessments of glacier and runoff evolution. Recent satellite-borne geodetic mass-balance observations of global coverage facilitate large-scale model calibration ... -
Between winter storm surges - Human occupation on a growing Mid-Holocene transgression maximum (Tapes) beach ridge at Longva, Western Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Substantial amounts of archaeological material have been found intermixed with beach pebbles and cobbles on the Tapes beach ridge at Longva on the island Flemsøya/Skuløya in Western Norway. The artefacts show that the beach ... -
Biogeochemical processes in the active layer and permafrost of a High Arctic fjord valley
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Warming of ground is causing microbial decomposition of previously frozen sedimentary organic carbon in Arctic permafrost. However, the heterogeneity of the permafrost landscape and its hydrological processes result in ... -
Biogeochemistry of low- and high-centered ice-wedge polygons in wetlands in Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Arctic wetlands are a globally significant store of soil organic carbon. They are often characterized by ice-wedge polygons, which are diagnostic of lowland permafrost, and which greatly influence wetland hydrology and ... -
The brittle evolution of Western Norway – A space-time model based on fault mineralizations, K–Ar fault gouge dating and paleostress analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Basement fracture and fault patterns on passive continental margins control the onshore landscape and offshore distribution of sediment packages and fluid pathways. In this study, we decipher the spatial-temporal evolution ...
