Soundscape analysis for biodiversity monitoring in tropical rainforest ecosystems
(PhD Thesis;2023:71, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Tropical rainforests harbour up to 66% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity but have been reduced in extent by up to 60% due to persistent deforestation and forest degradation, resulting in the population decline or ... -
Source identification of Pu and 236U deposited on Norwegian territories
(PhD Thesis;2013:56, Doctoral thesis, 2013)Plutonium (Pu) is a predominately anthropogenic element produced during neutron irradiation of U in reactors and nuclear weapon detonations. Pu has been released to the environment during nuclear weapon detonations, nuclear ... -
Source separating sanitary systems : energy efficient treatment of blackwater and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions

Space use and harvest selection of sea trout (Salmo trutta) living in a marine protected area : an acoustic telemetry study
(Master thesis, 2015-07-28)The sea trout (Salmo trutta) is popular anadromous fish that has long traditions as game for recreational and sports fishing. However, the habitat utilization of the sea trout in a fjord system is poorly studied. It may ... -
Space use and preferred places among domestic cats in Ås, south-eastern Norway
(Master thesis, 2022)Cats are popular pets and are usually allowed to roam free when owners let them out of the house. The home range size of cats has been well studied, but we know very little about how cats use the space within their home ... -
Space use by pet cats living near an urban nature reserve
(Master thesis, 2023)Domestic cats (Felis catus) with outdoor access pose a significant threat to local wildlife worldwide, and a thorough understanding of their space use is needed to mitigate their ecological impact. Although knowledge about ... -
Spatial and temporal distributions and interactions in a neotropical ground-dwelling animal community
(Master thesis, 2016)Distribution in time and space are central parts of a species’ niche, and linking these to environmental and anthropogenic factors are common objectives in ecological research. However, the observed distributions are ... -
Spatial and temporal patterns in habitat selection by rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta muta) in mainland Norway
(Master thesis, 2014-09-18)1. Predictions based on several reports and harvest statistics during the last decades have proven a worrying decrease in density and abundance of the rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in the entire distribution area. 2. In ... -
Spatial interactions in a domestic cat population
(Master thesis, 2022)The domestic cat (Felis catus) is one of the most popular pets globally, with hundreds or even thousands of individuals per km2 in some areas. Domestic cats with outdoor access have both direct effects on wildlife through ... -
Spatial Optimisation of Offshore Wind in the Norwegian Economic Zone: A Portfolio Approach
(Master thesis, 2023)Den norske regjeringen har som mål å tildele områder med potensial på 30 GW havvind innen 2040. På grunn av den stokastiske naturen til vindkraft som en væravhengig energikilde, er en mer helhetlig tilnærming til ... -
Spatial optimization of wind and solar power capacities in Europe
(Master thesis, 2022)As the European power mix transitions towards higher shares of variable renewable energy (VRE), such as wind and solar power, the power system becomes increasingly weather dependent. The weather follows seasonal and ... -
Spatial variation in benthic macroinvertebrate community structures in tributaries of Verdal river : effects of biotic and abiotic environmental factors and restoration measures
(Master thesis, 2019)Rivers and streams are one of the most degraded ecosystems in the world, including Norway. Human activities have long impacted rivers and streams, both directly, and indirectly, and this ultimately affects the streams ... -
Spatio-temporal ecology of Amazonian freshwater turtles
(Master thesis, 2021)Amazonian freshwater turtles are a key component of the Amazonian waterscape and an important resource for riverine communities. However, extensive exploitation combined with habitat alteration and climate change has ... -
Spatiotemporal use of freshwater habitats in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolts from the Stryn and Hornindal watercourses
(Master thesis, 2020)The Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is a species with a lot of variation in portraited life-historystrategies – the most common one, includes a migration from its natal river to the Atlantic Ocean at a vulnerable stage in ... -
Speciation and mobility of particle-associated radiocesium in soils and pond sediments from Fukushima, Japan
(Master thesis, 2018)The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident that occurred in March 2011 at the nuclear facilities of units 1, 2 and 3 in Japan resulted in the release of radioactive cesium (137Cs) containing particles. In ... -
Speciation and source identification of radiocesium by radiochemical separation and QQQ-ICP-MS analysis
(Master thesis, 2021)The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident on March 11th, 2011, in Japan caused the release of radioactive fallout, including radioactive cesium (Cs), and contaminated the near field but also large areas ... -
Speciation of key NORM nuclides in natural waters
(Master thesis, 2021)Naturally occurring radioactive materials are present everywhere in nature. These may cause harm to organisms. Therefore, it is important to know of their behaviour in the environment. The total concentration of an element ... -
Speciation, uptake and toxic effects of Cadmium on developing stages of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Master thesis, 2016)Cadmium (Cd) is well known as one very toxic trace elements for aquatic organisms including fish. Uptake and toxic effects of Cd in embryo of Atlantic salmon was studied from fertilization to hatching stage. Eggs from ... -
Species richness and abundance of saproxylic beetles in power-line corridors: effects of different management practices
(Master thesis, 2015-02-25)Beetles (Coleoptera) are a major component of forest biodiversity. Approximately 900 of the 3558 known beetle species in Norway are facultative or obligate saproxylic, that is, directly or indirectly dependent on dead wood. ... -
Species-specific effect of forest cover on the occupancy of tropical forest mammals of Southeast Asia
(Master thesis, 2022)Tropical forests harbour more than half of the world’s biodiversity and 63% of the world’s terrestrial mammals. Today this biodiversity is under threat due to habitat loss and degradation by human activities. This makes ...
