Quantifying structural controls on fluid flow: Insights from carbonate-hosted fault damage zones on the Maltese Islands
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08)Structural complexity along faults (e.g., relay zones, fault intersections and jogs) exert strong controls on fluid flow, yet few attempts have been made to quantify and visualise such relationships. This paper does that ... -
Quantifying the contribution of anthropogenic influence to the East Asian winter monsoon in 1960-2012
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-07)The East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) is greatly influenced by many factors that can be classified as anthropogenic forcing and natural forcing. Here we explore the contribution of anthropogenic influence to the change in ... -
Quantifying the Lobe Reconnection Rate During Dominant IMF By Periods and Different Dipole Tilt Orientations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Lobe reconnection is usually thought to play an important role in geospace dynamics only when the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) is mainly northward. This is because the most common and unambiguous signature of lobe ... -
Quantifying the roles of seed dispersal, filtering, and climate on regional patterns of grassland biodiversity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Seed dispersal and local filtering interactively govern community membership and scale up to shape regional vegetation patterns, but data revealing how and why particular species are excluded from specific communities in ... -
Quantifying the Stable Water Isotopologue Exchange Between the Snow Surface and Lower Atmosphere by Direct Flux Measurements
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Surface processes in high latitudes play an important role in global climate and thus understanding the physics of these systems is critical for improving climate projections. The characterization of the stable water ... -
Quantifying uncertainties when monitoring marine environments in connection with geological storage of CO2
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-06-26) -
Quantitative assessment of two oil-in-ice surface drift algorithms
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The ongoing reduction in extent and thickness of sea ice in the Arctic might result in an increase of oil spill risk due to the expansion of shipping activity and oil exploration shift towards higher latitudes. This work ... -
Quantitative assessment of visual microscopy as a tool for microplastic research: Recommendations for improving methods and reporting
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Microscopy is often the first step in microplastic analysis and is generally followed by spectroscopy to confirm material type. The value of microscopy lies in its ability to provide count, size, color, and morphological ... -
Quantitative Comparison against Experiments Reveals Imperfections in Force Fields’ Descriptions of POPC-Cholesterol Interactions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Cholesterol is a central building block in biomembranes, where it induces orientational order, slows diffusion, renders the membrane stiffer, and drives domain formation. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have played a ... -
Quantitative Comparison of Offshore Sediment Volumes and Onshore Erosion Potential in Norway in the Neogene and Quaternary.
(Master thesis, 2018-06-13)The geodynamic evolution of the Scandinavian topography is the cause of a controversy with several competing hypotheses. Western Scandinavia is characterized by dramatic fjords and high-altitude low-relief surfaces, which ... -
A quantitative description of the West Spitsbergen Current by combining hydrography, altimetry and in-situ current meters
(Master thesis, 2014-06-02)In a warming Arctic Ocean (AO) it is important to study its main source of oceanic heat and salt. Here, seasonal climatological sections of the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC) across 78.83°N have been constructed using ... -
Quantitative diffusion-weighted J-difference spectroscopy of common brain metabolites
(Master thesis, 2021-12-20) -
Quantitative Externalization of Visual Data Analysis Results Using Local Regression Models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Both interactive visualization and computational analysis methods are useful for data studies and an integration of both approaches is promising to successfully combine the benefits of both methodologies. In interactive ... -
Quantitative genetics of breeding coloration in sand lizards; genic capture unlikely to maintain additive genetic variance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Sexual selection on fitness-determining traits should theoretically erode genetic variance and lead to low heritability. However, many sexually selected traits maintain significant phenotypic and additive genetic variance, ... -
Quantitative interpretation using inverse rock-physics modeling on AVO data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08)Quantitative seismic interpretation has become an important and critical technology for improved hydrocarbon exploration and production. However, this is typically a resource-demanding process that requires information ... -

Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Tissue Microvasculature and Microstructure in Selected Clinical Applications
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-06-03)This thesis is based on four papers and aims to establish perfusion and diffusion measurements with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in selected clinical applications. While structural imaging provides invaluable geometric ... -
Quantitative microbial ecology off the northern Antarctic Peninsula. Antarctic microbial ecology
(Doctoral thesis, 2010-06-22)The waters surrounding the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica, comprise a coastal/oceanic ecosystem that is iron-fertilized naturally from shelf sources of Weddell Sea origin. My thesis incorporates data from an 18-year ... -
Quantitative molecular detection of larval Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) in stomach contents of Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) marks regions of predation pressure
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Mortality rates in the early life-history stages of fishes are generally high yet identifying the causes remain unclear. Faltering recruitment rates of Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) in the Norwegian Sea indicate a ...
