NORKLIMA-Klimaendringer og konsekvenser for Norge

Pollution risks and water management at airports and roads in a changing climate

Management of surface runoff formed during snowmelt is a challenge in many urban areas. Even in areas with normally high infiltration capacity, the ground surface can become impermeable during snowmelt. Climate change is expected to increase precipitation during autumn and give more frequent tem...

Phenotypic variability in life-history traits: is intra population variability important for zooplankton dynamics

State-of-the-art studies in theoretical disciplines predict that populations will evolve as environments change. There is hardly any empirical information that can shed light on the importance of this process for natural marine zooplankton. This is most u nfortunate, as many of the changes predic...
