Environmental Drivers of Demersal Fish and Crustacean Community Structure in West Norwegian Fjords
(Master thesis, 2023-09-01)Norwegian fjords, with their complex bathymetry and deep basins, are easily accessible study areas for deep sea communities. Impacts of climate change and increasing pressure from anthropogenic activities on fjord ecosystems, ... -
Environmental drivers of herring growth and how the perception shifts with time series length
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Growth is a key component of population dynamics and, thus, fisheries management, yet drivers of its variations are often poorly understood. Using individual data collected over 80 years, we explored how environmental ... -
Environmental effects of offshore produced water discharges: A review focused on the Norwegian continental shelf
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Produced water (PW), a large byproduct of offshore oil and gas extraction, is reinjected to formations or discharged to the sea after treatment. The discharges contain dispersed crude oil, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ... -
The environmental impact of the Minoan eruption of Santorini (Thera): statistical analysis of palaeoecological data from Golbisar, southwest Turkey
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2002)A tephra layer originating from the mid-second millennium BC (3300 14C yr BP) ‘Minoan’ eruption of Santorini (or Thera) in the Aegean has been found in lake sediments at G6lhisar in southwest Turkey. Microstratigraphic ... -
Environmental impact on host-parasite interactions. A study on the adaptive value of host castration and gigantism when hosts can regain reproduction
(Doctoral thesis, 2011-12-20)The aim of this thesis was to investigate how altering the external environment affects life history strategies of hosts and their parasites, and to gain a better understanding of evolutionary theories on castration and ... -
Environmental Impacts of Rapid Electric Vehicle Adoption: A Comprehensive Energy Source Analysis
(Master thesis, 2023-06-02)The world is at a turning point, with major environmental problems demanding immediate action and the rapid adoption of renewable energy. Electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a possible alternative to reduce carbon ... -
Environmental influences on human innovation and behavioural diversity in southern Africa 92–80 thousand years ago
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Africa’s Middle Stone Age preserves sporadic evidence for novel behaviours among early modern humans, prompting a range of questions about the influence of social and environmental factors on patterns of human behavioural ... -
Environmental manipulation of land-based farmed Arctic charr; effects on growth, feeding and maturation
(Doctoral thesis, 2014-05-08)Farming of Arctic charr takes mainly place in land-based farms applying intensive rearing methods with relatively high production costs. Depending on local conditions at each site, it is possible to regulate important ... -
Environmental pollutants in blood donors: The multicentre Norwegian donor study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Objectives The aim of this study was to measure blood concentrations of environmental pollutants in Norwegian donors and evaluate the risk of pollutant exposure through blood transfusions. Background Transfused blood ... -
Environmental Remediation: Removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons Dissertation
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-08-17)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous persistent semi-volatile organic compounds. They are contaminants that are resistant to degradation and can remain in the environment for long periods due to their ... -
Environmental responses to the 9.7 and 8.2 cold events at two ecotonal sites in the Dovre mountains, mid-Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We found strong signals of two cooling events around 9700 and 8200 cal yrs. BP in lakes Store Finnsjøen and Flåfattjønna at Dovre, mid-Norway. Analyses included pollen in both lakes, and C/N-ratio, biomarkers (e.g. alkanes ... -
Environmental risk factors for multiple sclerosis. Results from animal and human studies on diet, vitamin D and Epstein-Barr virus
(Doctoral thesis, 2010-01-19)Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an immune mediated disease of the central nervous system (CNS). The aetiology is unknown, but environmental factors as well as multiple separate genetic loci contribute to the disease susceptibility. ... -
Environmental Risks: Framing effects of Scope and Responsibility on Policy Support
(Master thesis, 2017)The nature of global environmental risks (e.g. climate change) are often complex and thereby difficult to understand through human sensory reception. The perception of these risks will therefore often come from communications ... -
Environmental stressors may cause unpredicted, notably lagged life-history responses in adults of the planktivorous Atlantic herring
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Here we challenge traditional views on the direction of change in teleost body condition and reproductive traits in response to abiotic and biotic factors by studying the data-rich, planktivorous Norwegian spring-spawning ... -
Environmental sustainability in restaurants. A systematic review and future research agenda on restaurant adoption of green practices
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The adverse impact that restaurants have on the environment has received widespread attention in the last decade from both practice and academia. The current study aims to find, catalog, and synthesize the research body ... -
Environmental variability in the early rearing environment generates behaviourally flexible cod: implications for rehabilitating wild populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2005-06-02)The release of hatchery-reared fishes for restoring threatened and endangered populations is one of the most controversial issues in applied ecology. A central issue has been to determine whether releases cause extinction ... -
Environmental visualizations: Framing and reframing between science, policy and society
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Visualizations are influential in the interaction between environmental science and policy. Research on framing in environmental visualizations (visual framing) is expanding. These studies typically focus on ‘static’ images; ... -
An environmentally benign and high-rate Appel type reaction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)A high rate, selective, and productive Appel type reaction was developed. The method allows for ipso-substitution of the alcoholic hydroxy group with halogens ∈ [Cl, Br, I]. The method demands mild reaction conditions that ...
