• Have climate policies accelerated energy transitions? Historical evolution of electricity mix in the G7 and the EU compared to net-zero targets 

  Suzuki, Masahiro; Jewell, Jessica; Cherp, Aleh (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)

  Climate policies are often assumed to have significant impacts on the nature and speed of energy transitions. To investigate this hypothesis, we develop an approach to categorise, trace, and compare energy transitions ...

• Analysis of dynamic models by optimization 

  Moxnes, Erling; Naumov, Sergey (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)

  Decision-makers use system dynamics models to understand how model structure causes problematic behaviors, and how the structure should be changed to improve performance. However, understanding problem behavior and designing ...

• Assessing Combinations of Landsat, Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1 Time series for Detecting Bark Beetle Infestations 

  König, Simon; Thonfeld, Frank; Förster, Michael; Dubovyk, Olena; Heurich, Marco Dietmar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)

• The feasibility of climate action: Bridging the inside and the outside view through feasibility spaces 

  Jewell, Jessica; Cherp, Aleh (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)

  The feasibility of different options to reduce the risks of climate change has engaged scholars for decades. Yet there is no agreement on how to define and assess feasibility. We define feasible as “do-able under realistic ...

• Historical diffusion of nuclear, wind and solar power in different national contexts: implications for climate mitigation pathways 

  Vinichenko, Vadim; Jewell, Jessica; Jacobsson, Johan; Cherp, Aleh (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)

  Climate change mitigation requires rapid expansion of low-carbon electricity but there is a disagreement on whether available technologies such as renewables and nuclear power can be scaled up sufficiently fast. Here we ...

• Measuring the change in behavior of a system with a single metric 

  Schoenberg, William Alexander; Eberlein, Robert; Davidsen, Pål Ingebrigt (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)

  Loops that Matter (LTM) provides a practical and comprehensive way to understand which feedback loops are driving model behavior at different points in time. LTM describes from which loops the observed change in behavior ...

• Rendering the future governable: Navigating temporality and uncertainty in Oslo's climate transformation 

  Grandin, Jakob Olof (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)

  This paper examines the procedures through which climate change can be rendered governable in the present. Climate change has generally been approached as an abstract, global, and long-term problem, thereby disconnecting ...

• Haste: The slow politics of climate urgency
