Distribution and genesis of tills in central South Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 1977-06-01)The morphogenesis of tills below the culmination zones of the Weichselian inland ice has been studied in an upland area with a relief of 1500 m. The thickness of the tills varies considerably, depending principally on ... -
The disturbance-diversity relationship: integrating biodiversity conservation and resource management in anthropogenic landscapes
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-10-28)Disturbance, natural or anthropogenic, is ubiquitous to forest and grassland ecosystems across the globe. Many of these ecosystems have evolved alongside centuries old anthropogenic disturbance regimes. Understanding how ... -
Diversifying the compact city: A renewed agenda for geographical research
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The compact city has become part of the policy orthodoxy in dealing with climate change and other sustainability challenges, and scholars from a diverse set of disciplines have informed this policy through empirical research. ... -
Diversity of European habitat types is correlated with geography more than climate and human pressure
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Habitat richness, that is, the diversity of ecosystem types, is a complex, spatially explicit aspect of biodiversity, which is affected by bioclimatic, geographic, and anthropogenic variables. The distribution of habitat ... -
Do composition and richness of woody plants vary between gaps and closed canopy patches in subtropical forests?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Questions: Do composition and richness of woody plants differ between gaps and closed canopy in subtropical forests, and does this difference vary across life stages of tree species? Is tree species richness in gaps a ... -
Do EU goals matter? Assessing the localization of sustainable urban logistics governance goals in Norwegian cities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Sustainable urban logistics is imperative to meet urban sustainability goals. In the European context, the European Union (EU) set an ambitious target in 2011 of essentially CO2-free urban logistics by 2030. However, it ... -
Do sub-groups of butterflies display different elevational distribution patterns in the Eastern Himalaya, India?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Understanding the pattern of biodiversity along environmental gradients helps in identifying diversity hotspot areas that can be prioritized for conservation. While the elevational distribution of several taxa has been ... -
Do women work and men decide? Gender dimensions of cash cropping in the Middle Hills of Nepal
(Master thesis, 2013-05-15)ABSTRACT The study entitled Do Women Work and Men Decide? Gender Dimensions of Cash Cropping in the Middle Hills of Nepal'' was carried out in two villages in the Kaski District, Nepal, with objectives to document the ... -
Do you bend or break? System Dynamics in resilience planning for food security
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-03)This paper discusses our experience in using system dynamics to facilitate resilience planning for food security in rural communities that are exposed to ever‐increasing climatic pressures in Guatemala. The social–ecological ... -
Does Stock and Flow diagrams lead to a better management of credit card ? The case of exponential growth bias. An experimental study
(Master thesis, 2014-06-02)Abstract Exponential growth bias is the tendency to linearize exponential functions. It means that people underestimate the future value of a growing debt in case of borrowing and future value of a growing investment in ... -
Does tree canopy closure moderate the effect of climate warming on plant species composition of temperate Himalayan oak forest?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-09)Question: We ask if there are significant changes in plant species composition after 20 yr of documented temperature increase (~1 °C), and if the temporal changes are different in closed temperate oak forest compared to ... -
Double energy vulnerability in the Norwegian low-carbon urban transport transition
(Journal article, 2022)Household energy poverty and transport energy poverty are increasingly recognised as entangled in energy social science. The intersection of these related phenomena is growing due to twin transitions of decarbonisation and ... -
Downhill shift of alpine plant assemblages under contemporary climate and land-use changes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-01-10)Compositional changes in Himalayan vegetation in response to the major drivers of biodiver- sity loss, climate change and land-use change, are barely documented. We quantify temporal changes in the alpine vegetation of ... -
A Dynamic Analysis of Tourism Determinants in Sicily

A Dynamic approach to understanding the nexus between electric power demand and economic growth, using a generic electricity model: The case of Ghana
(Master thesis, 2011-06-13)The debate about the interplay between energy and economic growth continues unabated without any indication of a consensus being reached. While some research work point to a unidirectional relationship between energy ... -
The Dynamic Ecological footprint. Endogenizing the Ecological Footprint of Forestry in the Threshold21 Model of Senegal
(Master thesis, 2012-07-11)Many countries in the world are in ecological overshoot. That is the message that the Ecological Footprint calculated by the Global Footprint Network sends us. Since many developing countries may not be in overshoot yet, ... -
Dynamic implications of the biological link between bovine milk and meat production for operationalizing the planetary health diet
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The EAT–Lancet planetary health diet (PHD) provides guidelines on a global scale and calls for red meat consumption to be halved. Operational PHD guidelines at country level have yet to be determined. Here we argue that ... -
The dynamic of modern software development project management and the software crisis of quality. An integrated system dynamics approach towards software quality improvement
(Master thesis, 2012-08-01)The software industry is plagued by cost-overruns, delays, poor customer satisfaction and quality issues that are costing clients and customers world-wide billions of dollars each year. The phenomenon is coined The Software ... -
Dynamic Simulation Model of Common Pool Resource Cooperation Experiments
(5/2003, Working paper, 2003)We investigate the decision rules adopted by individuals in local communities, whoselivelihoods depend on common pool resource stocks and who face the cooperationdilemma in their everyday life. For this purpose, field ...
