Prey of active Zooplankton duing the polar night

Diel vertical migration (DVM) is known to be the largest daily movement of organic material, as well as living organisms on the planet. That makes it a key process if we want to understand the pelagic food web and carbon sequestering of the ocean. It is p roposed that DVM happens, due to the atte...

Governing EU-Norwegian willingness to extract, combust and consume less carbon

Globale CO2-utslipp er en viktig kilde til global oppvarming. Uten markedsimperfeksjoner vil den beste politikken for å redusere karbonutslipp være å innføre en lik karbonpris i alle sektorer og regioner. Av ulike årsaker vil en slik politikk neppe være realistisk på kort og mellomlang sikt. I de...
