Resolving the Impact of Changing Arctic Precipitation on Svalbard Ice Mass Balance

The Arctic is warming at almost four times the mean global rate (Rantanen et al., 2022) and is becoming increasingly wetter: a trend that is predicted to continue as the Arctic Ocean becomes Atlantified, with rapid decline in sea-ice which is now at an all-time minimum (Bailey et al., 2021). Terr...

MILJØFORSK-Miljøforskning for en grønn samfunnsomstilling

Climate Invasives --- MINIMIZING THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE-INDUCED SPREAD OF INVASIVE ALIEN SPECIES TO MARINE PROTECTED AREAS

Akvatiske invasive arter er en av de største truslene mot biologisk mangfold i havene. Et av hovedtiltakene innenfor marine strategier for å bevare biologisk mangfold er å etablere marine verneområder (MPA). MPA er områder med høyt biologisk mangfold, og det er derfor viktig å etablere effektive ...

Movescapes, connectivity hotspots and eco-evolutionary dynamics: protecting the functional role of predatory coastal fishes

Store rovfisk, slik som torsk og lyr, kan spille en viktig rolle i økosystemene langs kysten og har også en stor samfunnsverdi. Ved at de befinner seg nær toppen av næringsnettet kan de ha en kontrollerende effekt på mange andre arter, og på den måten påvirke hvordan hele økosystemet fungerer. Ro...

Assessing impact of snow sublimation for hydropower production in Norway (SnowSub)

Hvor mye snø går tapt i løpet av en vintersesong på grunn av sublimasjon? Svaret på dette spørsmålet er spesielt viktig for vannkraftproduksjon siden snødekket er det største magasinet i mange vannkraftsystemer. Sublimasjon er prosessen når snøen (dvs. frossent vann) blir til vanndamp. Sublimas...
