Rekonstruksjon av samspillet mellom bre- og havnivåfluktuasjoner under deglasiasjonen ved Renså i Tjeldsund, Nord-Norge
(Master thesis, 2021-08-02)I denne studien er bre- og havnivåfluktuasjoner i Rensådalen i Tjeldsund kommune, Troms og Finnmark under siste fase av deglasiasjonen etter siste istid rekonstruert. Arbeidet ble gjort gjennom kvartærgeologisk kartlegging, ... -
Natur i endring: Skogekspansjon og gjengroing i et kystlandskap over 70 år - En studie i Isdalen, Bergen kommune
(Master thesis, 2021-08-02)Flere steder i Norge og verden er det observert at skog- og tregrenser har ekspandert gjennom de siste 100 årene. Spesielt alpine områder har vært mye undersøkt, mens kystlandskapet til dels er blitt neglisjert. Målet for ... -
Midt- til sein-holosen stormvariabilitet ved Lista, Sør-Noreg, basert på transport og sedimentasjon av flygesand i lakustrine sediment
(Master thesis, 2021-08-02)I denne studia er stormvariabilitet rekonstruert frå midt- til sein-holosen (5500 kal. år BP) til i dag ved Lista i Sør-Noreg. Rekonstruksjonen tek utgangspunkt i ei rekkje høgoppløyselege analysar av ei UVITEC-kjerne (111 ... -
A system dynamics approach to study the state of U.S. roads: validation of dynamic hypothesis
(Master thesis, 2021-08-26)The United States of America which has the world’s biggest road network, is falling behind when it comes to the condition of roads. The 2021 Report Card for America’s Infrastructure found the nation’s road infrastructure ... -

Scalar Containment of Energy Justice and Its Democratic Discontents: Solar Power and Energy Poverty Alleviation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The threats climate change poses require rapid and wide decarbonization efforts in the energy sector. Historically, large-scale energy operations, often instrumental for a scaled and effective approach to meet decarbonization ... -
A matter of time: Explicating temporality in science and technology studies and Bergen's car-free zone development
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In their article on ‘sociotechnical matters’, Hess and Sovacool (2020) draw on extant STS scholarship to unpack ‘the black box’ of sociotechnical contributions to social science studies of energy. Notably absent in their ... -
Global sustainability, innovation and governance dynamics of national smart electricity meter transitions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Smart electricity meters are a central feature of any future smart grid, and therefore represent a rapid and significant household energy transition, growing by our calculations from less than 23.5 million smart meters in ... -
Legitimating power: Solar energy rollout, sustainability metrics and transition politics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Increasing recognition of the irrefutable urgency to address the global climate challenge is driving mitigation efforts to decarbonise. Countries are setting targets, technological innovation is making renewable energy ... -
Navigating implementation dilemmas in technology-forcing policies: A comparative analysis of accelerated smart meter diffusion in the Netherlands, UK, Norway, and Portugal (2000-2019)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This paper addresses the implementation of technology-forcing policies in open-ended diffusion processes that involve companies and regulators as well as consumers and civil society actors. Mobilising insights from the ... -
A grid-based map for the Biogeographical Regions of Europe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Biogeographical units are widely adopted in ecological research and nature conservation management, even though biogeographical regionalisation is still under scientific debate. The European Environment Agency ... -
Decision-making and scalar biases in solar photovoltaics roll-out
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Rapid roll-out of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is a key component of decarbonising energy systems. Yet clear risks are involved, including footprints from land use and infrastructure as well as socio-economic inequalities. ... -
Sustainable development goal interactions for a just transition: multi-scalar solar energy rollout in Portugal
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Solar energy rollout has environmental and socio-economic impacts vital for just low-carbon energy transitions. The modular characteristics of solar photovoltaics enable multi-scalar deployment. How do environmental and ... -
Adaptation of a System Dynamics generic structure to Urban Resilience case-studies in Latin-America
(Master thesis, 2021-07-15)Historically, the System Dynamics field has been using generic structures to transfer general knowledge from one dynamic situation to another. Although generic structures are widely used, there are still opportunities to ... -
Supporting stakeholders to anticipate and respond to risks in a Mekong River water-energy-food nexus
