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...

The source and evolution of Quaternary volcanic activity in NW Spitsbergen (RiS ID 12102)

Several small volcanic centers of Pleistocene age occur in the Woodfjorden area of NW Spitsbergen and are collectively known as the mantle-sourced Bockfjorden Volcanic Complex (BVC). The main magma type identified is basanite, an alkali basaltic variety that is typically associated with active co...
