Warming of Atlantic Water in two west Spitsbergen fjords over the last century (1912-2009)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-05-06)The recently observed warming of west Spitsbergen fjords has led to anomalous sea-ice conditions and has implications for the marine ecosystem. We investigated long-term trends of maximum temperature of Atlantic Water (AW) ... -
Warming, drought, and disturbances lead to shifts in functional composition: A millennial-scale analysis for Amazonian and Andean sites
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Tropical forests are changing in composition and productivity, probably in response to changes in climate and disturbances. The responses to these multiple environmental drivers, and the mechanisms underlying the changes, ... -
Was common Era glacier expansion in the Arctic Atlantic region triggered by unforced atmospheric cooling?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-05)The timing and causes of Common Era (CE) glacier growth in the Arctic Atlantic region remain elusive. There is mounting evidence of advances that predate the Little Ice Age (1250–1850 CE); this challenges the view that ... -
Waste heat recovery for lunar applications of a solid oxide electrolyser
(Master thesis, 2023-12-20)In an effort to make space exploration more sustainable the space industry looks to In-Situ Resource Utilisation (ISRU) as a possible way to lower the cost. With confirmed findings of water ice on the south pole of Earth’s ... -
A water droplet-powered sensor based on charge transfer to a flow-through front surface electrode
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)A water droplet sensor based on a flow-through front surface electrode is demonstrated. It is shown that a triboelectric nanogenerator based on a metal-dielectric junction can be utilized to construct simple, self-powered ... -
Water Flow Requirements of Post-smolt Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.) Reared in Intensive Seawater Flow-through Systems: A Physiological Perspective
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Environmental challenges related to open sea cage production of Atlantic salmon have sparked interest in developing commercial-scale semi-closed sea systems for post-smolt Atlantic salmon (100–1000 g). Determining the ... -
Water level fluctuations and the ecosystem functioning of lakes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-08-28)Hydrological regimes are key drivers of productivity and structure in freshwater ecosystems but are increasingly impacted by human activity. Using 17 published food web models of 13 African lakes as a case study, we explored ... -
Water mass exchange, pathways and the mesoscale eddy field in the Lofoten Basin of the Norwegian Sea
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-05)The Lofoten Basin situated in the Norwegian Sea, plays a central role in redistributing and modifying the warm Atlantic Water carried poleward with the Norwegian Atlantic Current. Increased residence time of the warm ... -
Water mass modification in an Arctic fjord through cross-shelf exchange: The seasonal hydrography of Kongsfjorden, Svalbard
(Journal article, 2005-12-08)Kongsfjorden and the West Spitsbergen Shelf is a region whose seasonal hydrography is dominated by the balance of Atlantic Water, Arctic waters, and glacial melt. Regional seasonality and the cross-shelf exchange processes ... -
Water mass modification over the continental shelf north of Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica
(Journal article, 2003-08-13)We use new data from the southern Weddell Sea continental shelf to describe water mass conversion processes in a formation region for cold and dense precursors of Antarctic Bottom Water. The cruises took place in early ... -
Water mass transformation and the North Atlantic Current in three multi-century climate model simulations
(Journal article, 2012-11)The warm and saline Subtropical Water carried by the North Atlantic Current undergoes substantial transformation on its way to higher latitudes as heat is released from ocean to atmosphere. The geographical distribution ... -
Water mass transformation in the Greenland Sea during the period 1986-2016
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-01)Hydrographic measurements from ships, autonomous profiling floats, and instrumented seals over the period 1986–2016 are used to examine the temporal variability in open-ocean convection in the Greenland Sea during winter. ... -
Water mass transformation in the Iceland Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)The water mass transformation that takes place in the Iceland Sea during winter is investigated using historical hydrographic data and atmospheric reanalysis fields. Surface densities exceeding σθ ¼ 27:8 kg=m3, and hence ... -
Water mass transformation in the Iceland Sea: Contrasting two winters separated by four decades
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Dense water masses formed in the Nordic Seas flow across the Greenland–Scotland Ridge and contribute substantially to the lower limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Originally considered an important ... -
Water mass transformations and air-sea exchange in the Barents Sea
(Doctoral thesis, 2011-09-22)Water mass transformation processes in the Barents Sea and their interannual to decadal variability are studied using a regional coupled ice-ocean model and observational data. Long-term data allows for assessment of ... -
Water mass transformations in the Barents Sea and linkages to the Polar Front
(Doctoral thesis, 2010-10-29) -
Water masses constrain the distribution of deep-sea sponges in the North Atlantic Ocean and Nordic Seas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Water masses are bodies of water with distinctive physical and biogeochemical properties. They impart vertical structure to the deep ocean, participate in circulation, and can be traced over great distances, potentially ... -
Water Migration in the Subduction Mantle Wedge: A Two-Phase Flow Approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Subduction zones are the main entry points of water into Earth's mantle and play an important role in the global water cycle. The progressive release of water by metamorphic dehydration induces important physical‐chemical ... -
Water renewal in a threshold fjord: A simulation study of submerged fresh water discharge
(Master thesis, 2018-12-15)Threshold fjords are characterized by low concentrations of oxygen in the depths of the basin, caused by weak and/or infrequent exchange of the basin water. A three-dimensional ocean model, The Bergen Ocean Model (BOM), ...
