Assessing Model Uncertainties Through Proper Experimental Design
Hvidevold, Hilde Kristine; Alendal, Guttorm; Johannessen, Truls; Mannseth, Trond (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)This paper assesses how parameter uncertainties in the model for rise velocity of CO2 droplets in the ocean cause uncertainties in their rise and dissolution in marine waters.

Gundersen, Kristian; Alendal, Guttorm; Oleynik, Anna; Blaser, Nello (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-19)The world’s oceans are under stress from climate change, acidification and other human activities, and the UN has declared 2021–2030 as the decade for marine science. To monitor the marine waters, with the purpose of ... -
Cost efficient environmental survey paths for detecting continuous tracer discharges
Alendal, Guttorm (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-07)Designing monitoring programs for detecting potential tracer discharges from unknown locations is challenging. The high variability of the environment may camouflage the anticipated anisotropic signal from a discharge, and ... -

A real challenge will be quantification of the probability of a given ... -
Modelling of deep-sea gravity currents using an integrated plume model

A numerical study of transport and spreading of gases from natural analogues of gas-seepage through the seafloor
Enstad, Lars Inge; Alendal, Guttorm; Haugan, Peter Mosby (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-02)Natural leakages of CO2 are reported in the literature at mid ocean ridges and CH4 seepages in hydrocarbon rich ares. These could potentially serve as natural analogues of leakages from CO2 storages. In this study we have ... -

Drange, Helge; Alendal, Guttorm; Johannessen, Ola M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2001-07-01)The natural ocean uptake of the greenhouse gas CO2 can be accelerated by collecting and liquefying the gas from point sources, and by pumping it into the ocean at appropriate locations and at sufficient depths. Results ... -
