Trigger mechanisms for sand intrusions. Inferences from published data and investigation of 3D seismic data from the northern North Sea
(The University of Bergen, 2018-04-17)Numerous publications have addressed subsurface sediment remobilization, in terms of geometries of the intrusions, where the intrusions occur, the parent unit of the intrusions and trigger mechanisms. Several authors ...Master thesis -
The geometry and evolution of deformation bands in volcaniclastic rocks: insights from Eastern Taiwan
(The University of Bergen, 2018-04-17)Deformation bands are millimeter to centimeter tabular zones formed by strain localization in porous, granular media, most commonly found in porous sandstones. They also occur in carbonates and volcaniclastics, but are ...Master thesis -
Sedimentology of the Paleogene succession at Calypsostranda, Svalbard
(The University of Bergen, 2018-04-17)The following study encompasses sedimentological investigations of the Calypsostranda Group. The Calypsostranda Group is comprised of Paleogene sediments where outcrops are well exposed in a coastal section at Renardodden ...Master thesis -

(The University of Bergen, 2018-04-17)The Grønfjorden Bed represents the earliest Paleogene sedimentary deposits in the Central Tertiary Basin on Spitsbergen. It has a patchy distribution, and consists of conglomerates and sandstones of fluvial origin that ...Master thesis -
The use of photo and video as surveying tools on sessile organisms in shallow soft-bottom habitats - Photoframe and videosleigh method
(The University of Bergen, 2018-04-18)The Institute of Marine Research (IMR) wants to start a systematic survey of shallow, soft-bottom habitats. The IMR wants to implement two new methods using photo and video, the photoframe and the videosleigh method. Where ...Master thesis -
Atmospheric deposition effects on plankton communities in the Eastern Mediterranean: A mesocosm experimental approach
(Frontiers, 2017-07-04)The effects of atmospheric deposition on plankton community structure were examined during a mesocosm experiment using water from the Cretan Sea (Eastern Mediterranean), an area with a high frequency of atmospheric aerosol ...Journal article -
Recurrent cannabis use among Norwegian students: Prevalence, characteristics, and polysubstance use
(Sage, 2017)Background: Research on cannabis has focused on lifetime use or regular/heavy use (i.e., daily or almost daily). Regular, albeit not necessarily daily, cannabis use has received less scientific attention. Objectives: This ...Journal article -
Why several truths can be true
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)In this paper, we offer a perspective on complementarity, acknowledging that it is not possible for human perception and cognition to grasp reality with unambiguous concepts or theories. Therefore, multiple concepts and ...Journal article -
Report from the 3rd Workshop on Trait-based approaches to ocean life
(The University of Bergen, 2017)How can the essential properties of community structure and ecosystem functioning be captured from a limited number of traits in organisms? In August 2017, 120 researchers from 31 nations met over four days at Solstrand ...Conference object -
Utilizing Solar Vapour Energy by Use of Nanofluids in a Direct Absorption Solar Collector
(The University of Bergen, 2018-01)Traditional solar thermal collectors and photovoltaic (PV) systems suffer from low energy conversion efficiencies. This is mainly due to high thermal losses from overheated absorber plates or solar cells. For steam ...Master thesis -
Cryostratigraphy and sedimentology of high-Arctic fjord-valleys
(The University of Bergen, 2018-01-17)Fjord-valleys, as sediment-filled palaeofjords, are characteristic of formerly glaciated mountainous coastal areas. High-Arctic fjord-valleys commonly host permafrost, but are poorly accessible and hence have drawn relatively ...Doctoral thesis -
Coring of unconsolidated permafrost deposits: methodological successes and challenges
(GEOQuébec2015, 2015)This technical note presents three scales of drilling infrastructure for comparison. These three methods include: (1) a small hand-drill designed for retrieving cores down to ca. 5 m depth, (2) the medium-scale UNIS ...Conference object -
