Espedal-sjøfasen under siste isavsmelting
(Master thesis, 2020)I denne oppgaven er det brukt LiDAR data og georadarundersøkelse til å få innblikk i utviklingen i nordlige Espedalen under siste isavsmelting. Dette er gjort ved undersøkelse av to deltaavsetninger ved innsjøene Olstappen ... -
Establishing a biodiverse meadow roof in Oslo, Norway : an evaluation of the effect of soil type and soil depth on sown native and local species and spontaneously colonizing species
(Master thesis, 2020)The loss of biodiversity is happening faster now than ever in human history, being mainly driven by changes in land use. Concurrently, cities are expanding and are expected to reach over 1.2 million km2 within 2030. The ... -
Establishment, survival and dispersal limitations of pioneer plants in a Norwegian glacier foreland as revealed by seed sowing, transplantation and seed bank experiments
(Master thesis, 2016-09-02)Glaciers are melting and retreating on a global scale due to climate change. Rapid glacier retreat leave behind large areas of barren ground, in which primary succession and plant establishments can start. However, a typical ... -
Estimates of wolf density, abundance, and population dynamics in Scandinavia, 2012 - 2021
(MINA fagrapport;72, Report, 2021)Background The Scandinavian wolf (Canis lupus) population is being monitored annually using non-invasive genetic sampling (NGS) and recovery of dead individuals. DNA extracted from faeces, urine, hair, and tissue is used ... -
Estimating and analysing the occupancy of the introduced shrew Crocidura russula in Norway
(Master thesis, 2021)The Greater white-toothed shrew (Crocidura russula) is a shrew that was discovered in Norway in 2017. The species is of concern because it is invasive and has a history of environmental impact. It is native around the ... -
Estimating densities of red foxes using non-invasive genetic sampling and spatial capture-recapture modeling
(Master thesis, 2020)Spatial capture-recapture modelling (SCR) is a powerful tool for estimating densities, population size and space use of elusive animals. However, SCR modeling has not been widely applied to ecologically important mesopredators ... -
Estimating global demand for coniferous sawnwood taking uncertain variables into account
(Master thesis, 2019)This thesis aims at providing new estimates regarding the global demand for coniferous sawnwood. Individual and representative elasticities of demand for the sample of 92 countries that represented 97 % of the global ... -
Estimating the size of the Scandinavian wolf population with spatial capture-recapture and conversion factors
(MINA fagrapport;57, Report, 2019)Monitoring of wolves (Canis lupus) in Scandinavia is a coordinated effort between Swedish and Norwegian management authorities. Since 2012/13, the size of the Scandinavian wolf population is being estimated indirectly by ... -
Estimation of biomass in tropical rainforest using airborne laser scanning
(PhD Thesis;2015:12, Doctoral thesis, 2019-01-08)Forest inventories based on field sample surveys, supported by auxiliary remotely sensed data, have the potential to provide transparent and confident estimates of forest carbon stocks required in climate change mitigation ... -
Estimation of production losses due to icing on wind turbines at Kvitfjell wind farm
(Master thesis, 2019)Wind farms in cold climates are known for their challenge’s with lowered performance due to icing on wind turbine blades, but there is little knowledge around the correlation between wind, ice and energy production which ... -
Estimation of water access and contaminant risks at the Nyenga foundation in Uganda
(Master thesis, 2020)Nyenga foundation is a voluntary foundation located on the outskirts of Nyenga village in Uganda. The foundation is running a medicine center, a primary school and are working with engaging the local community in the making ... -
Estimation of wood dust content in mixed air samples from prepared samples and samples from a construction site by using low thermal plasma decomposition
(Master thesis, 2023)En lav temperatur plasma gravimetrisk metode ble brukt for bedre bestemme trestøv i respirabelt og totalt støv prøver. Testprøver (n=37) for totalt støv ble tillaget ved å samle støv med kombinasjonene av kun tre (n=12), ... -
