Hvordan ivaretas hensynet til naturmangfold i bit-for-bit nedbyggingen av strandsonen : et casestudie av hvordan miljøprinsippene i naturmangfoldloven (§§ 8–10), begrunnes i dispensasjonsvedtak i strandsonen i Mandal kommune
(Master thesis, 2021)Arealendring er den viktigste årsaken til at arter er på rødlisten. I dag er ni av ti arter truet på grunn av arealendringer. Sjøfugl har størst nedgang blant arter i marine økosystemer. Det har siden 1965 vært byggeforbud ... -
Simulering av avrenning fra grønne tak med magasinerende sjikt
(Master thesis, 2021)Vann er livsviktig for mennesker. Likevel kan vann i stor hastighet og stor mengde gjøre mye skade, og i verste fall koste liv. Urbanisering og endringer i nedbørsfelt gjør at overvann må tas hensyn til i planleggingen av ... -
Testing a new methodology for measuring aggregate stability
(Master thesis, 2021)Soil aggregate stability is an important measure of a soils’ physical and structural condition. Good aggregate stability is paramount in order to sustain crop productivity, limit soil erosion and promote healthy and ... -
Waste-based sorbents for reducing the mobility and leaching of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in contaminated soil
(Master thesis, 2021)Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a diverse group of anthropogenic, organic chemicals whose widespread use have caused contamination issues worldwide. Former use of PFAS-containing firefighting foams have ... -
Performance of a photovoltaic-thermal system in a tropical environment of central Ghana
(PhD Thesis;2022:14, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Access to energy has been heavily linked to socio-economic development. It is therefore not surprising that the energy poverty in sub-Saharan Africa has affected development in the subregion. However, as development ... -
Ophiostomatoid fungi associated with bark beetles infesting broadleaved trees in Norway
(Master thesis, 2017)The diversity of ophiostomatoid fungi associated with coniferous trees in Europe is quite well known. However, far less is known about the species associated with broadleaved trees. This study investigated the diversity ... -
Transfer of river-discharged Cs-137 in estuaries : a case study from Vefsna river and the Vefsnfjord in Nordland, Norway
(Master thesis, 2021)Several decades after the Chernobyl accident, it is still detectable activities of Cs-137 in the environment. Norway was highly affected by radioactive fallout, where one of the locations that received the highest doses ... -
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 ... -
Long term biological effects of ionizing radiation on the eye development in gamma-irradiated Atlantic salmon embryos
(Master thesis, 2021)Organisms are at their most sensitive to ionizing radiation during the embryonic life stage, and the eye is one of the most sensitive tissues. High proliferation-rate, cell-differentiation and embryonic development depend ... -
En evaluering av ung sjøørrets (Salmo trutta) vandringsdynamikk og overlevelse i seks sidebekker til Verdalsvassdraget ved hjelp av PIT-telemetri
(Master thesis, 2021)Menneskelige inngrep er en av de største truslene mot jordens fauna, og slike trusler har også medført at bestanden av sjøørret (Salmo trutta L.) i Norge er sterkt redusert sammenlignet med tidligere. Lakselus ansees som ... -
