Food security outcomes in agricultural systems models: Case examples and priority information needs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Analyses of food security with agricultural systems models often focus on indicators of food availability, with limited treatment of the other three dimensions: food access, stability and utilization. We illustrate how ... -
Food security outcomes in agricultural systems models: Current status and recommended improvements
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Improvement of food security is a common objective for many agricultural systems analyses, but how food security has been conceptualized and evaluated within agricultural systems has not been systematically evaluated. We ... -
Using participatory system dynamics modeling to address complex conservation problems: Tiger farming as a case study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Conservation practitioners routinely work within complex social-ecological systems to address threats facing biodiversity and to promote positive human-wildlife interactions. Inadequate understanding of the direct and ... -
Human-water dynamics and their role for seasonal water scarcity – a case study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Ensuring sustainable management and an adequate supply of freshwater resources is a growing challenge around the world. Even in historically water abundant regions climate change together with population growth and economic ... -
Anchovy powder enrichment in brown rice-based instant cereal: a process optimization study using Response Surface Methodology (RSM)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)There is a need for expanding the utilization of small fish as they constitute an undervalued and important source of protein and micronutrients in many developing countries suffering from micronutrient deficiencies. One ... -
En forbruksbasert tilnærming til klimaomstilling
(Master thesis, 2021-08-02)Norske kommuner har tradisjonelt fokusert på å redusere de direkte utslippene som fysisk slippes ut innenfor deres geografiske område (produksjonsbasert tilnærming), i tråd med både nasjonale og internasjonale forpliktelser. ... -
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 ... -
Population dynamic modeling to further improve the understanding of the impact of the level of the Proportion of Illegally Killed Elephants (PIKE) on elephant populations at a Monitoring of Illegal Killing of Elephants (MIKE) site in Kenya.
(Master thesis, 2021-08-17)Elephants play an important role in ecosystem function and help maintain suitable habitats for many other species as well as maintain ecosystem health. However, African Elephant populations have declined by 60% over the ... -

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 ... -
