HAVKYST-Havet og kysten

Modeling benthic consumption, advection, and carbon subsidies in the Barents Sea

Benthic communities play important roles in the processing of organic carbon on Arctic shelves. These roles affect nutrient availability for phytoplankton; food supply for benthic-feeding fish, seabirds, and mammals; and long-term storage of carbon in sed iments. The dynamic nature and pronounced...

VAM-Velferd, arbeid og migrasjon

Integration, exclusion and job mobility in different types of Norwegian work organisations

The premise for the project is that processes of work life integration are not uniform. On the contrary, the character of these processes may be expected to be quite different between various sectors, industries and occupational contexts. This is not only because jobs are designed differently an...
