Walruses on the Dnieper: new evidence for the intercontinental trade of Greenlandic ivory in the Middle Ages
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Mediaeval walrus hunting in Iceland and Greenland—driven by Western European demand for ivory and walrus hide ropes—has been identified as an important pre-modern example of ecological globalization. By contrast, the main ... -
Wanem ia jenda? [What is Gender?]: Translations and (Mis)Understandings between Development Discourse & Everyday Life Experiences in Port Vila, Vanuatu
(Master thesis, 2016-06-17)Labelled as one of the Least Developed Countries, Vanuatu is a popular place for international Development agencies. The situation of women is particularly often targeted in the Development discourses and buzzwords like ... -
Wanting to do Just Anything Else: A Q-Methodological Step Towards Defining Boredom
(Master thesis, 2012-04-15)Boredom is a commonly reported phenomenon with apparent ecological validity which remains under-researched and poorly defined by academic literature. This study used Q methodology in moving towards a unifying conceptual ... -
War and Nationalism: How WW1 Battle Deaths Fueled Civilians’ Support for the Nazi Party
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Can wars breed nationalism? We argue that civilians’ indirect exposure to war fatalities can trigger psychological processes that increase identification with their nation and ultimately strengthen support for nationalist ... -
Warm air intrusions reaching the MOSAiC expedition in April 2020- The YOPP targeted observing period (TOP)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)In the spring period of the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition, an initiative was in place to increase the radiosounding frequency during warm air intrusions in the ... -
Warm Atlantic water explains observed sea ice melt rates north of Svalbard
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Warm Atlantic water (AW) that flows northward along the Svalbard west coast is thought to transport enough heat to melt regional Arctic sea ice effectively. Despite this common assumption, quantitative requirements necessary ... -
Warm Circumpolar Deep Water at the Western Getz Ice Shelf Front, Antarctica
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-01-04)The Getz Ice Shelf is one of the largest sources of fresh water from ice shelf basal melt in Antarctica. We present new observations from three moorings west of Siple Island 2016–2018. All moorings show a persistent flow ... -
Warm Middle Miocene Indian Ocean Bottom Water Temperatures: Comparison of Clumped Isotope and Mg/Ca‐Based Estimates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The middle Miocene is an important analogue for potential future warm climates. However, few independent deep ocean temperature records exist, though these are important for climate model validation and estimates of changes ... -
Warmer and Wetter Winters over the high-latitude North Atlantic : an atmospheric circulation perspective
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-05-19)The high-latitude North Atlantic -especially the Svalbard archipelago and its surrounding seas - has undergone remarkable changes in the last half-century. These regions are recognized as a hotspot of the Arctic Amplification, ... -
Warming beneath an East Antarctic ice shelf due to increased subpolar westerlies and reduced sea ice
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Understanding how climate change influences ocean-driven melting of the Antarctic ice shelves is one of the greatest challenges for projecting future sea level rise. The East Antarctic ice shelf cavities host cold water ... -
Warming of Atlantic Water in two west Spitsbergen fjords over the last century (1912-2009)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-05-06)The recently observed warming of west Spitsbergen fjords has led to anomalous sea-ice conditions and has implications for the marine ecosystem. We investigated long-term trends of maximum temperature of Atlantic Water (AW) ... -
Warming, drought, and disturbances lead to shifts in functional composition: A millennial-scale analysis for Amazonian and Andean sites
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Tropical forests are changing in composition and productivity, probably in response to changes in climate and disturbances. The responses to these multiple environmental drivers, and the mechanisms underlying the changes, ... -
Warmth and competence perceptions of key protagonists are associated with containment measures during the COVID-19 pandemic: Evidence from 35 countries
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)It is crucial to understand why people comply with measures to contain viruses and their effects during pandemics. We provide evidence from 35 countries (Ntotal = 12,553) from 6 continents during the COVID-19 pandemic ... -
«WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT» - En studie av krimjournalistikk på Snapchat
(Master thesis, 2022-05-31)Det groteske og skremmende har alltid fascinert publikum. Krimjournalistikken kan spores tilbake til 1500-tallet, og etterspørselen for krimsaker er kanskje større nå enn noensinne. Nå finner vi dessuten krimjournalistikk ... -
Was Alois Riegl Colour Blind?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In his formalist art history, Alois Riegl (1858-1905) focuses on figure and ground, light and dark, and tactile versus optical features. Strangely, he shows little interest in colour. Thus, in Stilfragen (1893) and in ... -
Was common Era glacier expansion in the Arctic Atlantic region triggered by unforced atmospheric cooling?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-05)The timing and causes of Common Era (CE) glacier growth in the Arctic Atlantic region remain elusive. There is mounting evidence of advances that predate the Little Ice Age (1250–1850 CE); this challenges the view that ... -
Wastage features of the inland ice sheet in central South Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1980)Detailed field mapping of different lateral phenomena, striae, texture and till fabric are the basis of a reconstruction of five deglaciation phases in the east Jotunheimen-Gudbrandsdalen area, a landscape with moderate ... -
