Laser vision correction surgery and control of myopia progression in young adults

Verdens helseorganisasjon har nylig identifisert nærsynthet som en av de fem ledende årsakene til blindhet med raskt økende prevalens, anslått å nå 50 % av verdens befolkning innen 2050. Økende nivå av nærsynthet er assosiert med en høyere risiko for øye patologi (makula degenerasjon, glaukom, gr...

Monitoring seawater CO2 release from thawing permafrost mobilized by Bayelva proglacial stream RiS ID 11654

The Arctic already shows many signs of global change, including warming, reduced sea-ice cover, permafrost thawing and related changing in freshwater and organic carbon flux from rivers. It remains to be determined how these changes will enhance or mitigate rates of air-sea CO2 flux and acidifica...

Understanding the physiological costs of behavioural plasticity in response to climate change in Arctic Seabirds, RIS ID 11820

The extent to which individuals demonstrate flexibility in behaviour (i.e phenotypic plasticity) is likely to be a key determinant of a species ability to adapt to climate change. However, altering behaviours to match new environments comes at a cost to individuals when they divert resources away...
