Evaluation of the aquatic bryophyte Fontinalis antipyretica for laboratory and field toxicity studies
(Master thesis, 2021)Fontinalis antipyretica is an ecologically important aquatic moss in boreal streams. Bioassays using this species provide information of effects at the base of the food chain. The present study assessed toxicological effects ... -
Evaluering av en kompakt enhet for primær og sekundær rensing av gråvann
(Master thesis, 2019)Vann er en forutsetning for alt liv på jorden. Det er også en begrenset ressurs. Teknologi som muliggjør redusert vannforbruk, samt løsninger for gjenbruk av vann, er derfor et svært aktuelt tema. Dersom avløpsvannet fra ... -
Evaluering av fysiske miljøtiltak og miljøeffekter på yngeltetthet av sjøørret (Salmo trutta) i 13 bekker i Verdal kommune
(Master thesis, 2021)Inngrep i bekker og elver i forbindelse med infrastruktur og jordbruk, kan medføre vandringsproblemer og uegnet habitat for anadrom laksefisk. Tiltak for å forbedre bekkehabitater og gjenopprette vandringsmulighetene mellom ... -
Evaluering av fysiske tiltak og miljøeffekter på yngeltetthet hos sjøørret (Salmo trutta) i Verdalsvassdragets sidebekker
(Master thesis, 2019)Vandringshindre og forringelse av habitat oppstår ofte i forbindelse med utbygging av infrastruktur og aktivt jordbruk. Dette kan føre til uegnet habitat for sjøørreten (Salmo trutta), eller at muligheten til å fullføre ... -
Evaluering av konstruksjonsvirke av gran (Picea abies (L.) Karst) fra Nord-Norge
(Master thesis, 2024)I Nord-Norge er det store volumer med gran (Picea abies (L.) Karst) som begynner å bli hogstmodne. De få undersøkelsene som finnes på gran som har vokst i Nord-Norge tyder på at densiteten og de mekaniske egenskapene i ... -
Evaluering av modeller for antall årringer i kjerneved og diameter i kjerneved i furu (Pinus sylvestri L.)
(Master thesis, 2022)Kjerneved fra furu (Pinus Sylvestris) er et materiale som er naturlig holdbart og motstandsdyktig mot biologisk nedbrytning. Dette er en fordel ved at man kan produsere trelast som kan tåle litt fuktighet, uten at man ... -
Experimentally testing the effect of increased temperature on senescence rate of three plant species utilized by the Svalbard reindeer
(Master thesis, 2023)The Arctic is experiencing the most rapid climate warming on earth. While the climate induced changes in spring have received a lot of attention, similar studies for the effects in autumn have been neglected. In this thesis ... -
Exploring challenges of visitor- generated waste in Lofotodden National Park
(Master thesis, 2022)Norway has many scenic and pristine national parks which are desired destinations for foreign and domestic tourists. More visits are encouraged into the parks as they bring local value creation, prompting management to ... -
Exploring future energy solutions in Ghana with FPV/PHS hybrid system through techno-economic analysis
(Master thesis, 2021)Ghana accommodates abundant solar resources and has a goal of installing 425 MW of new utility scaled photovoltaics by 2030. Would conventional ground-based photovoltaics (PV) or the growing floating PV (FPV) technology ... -
Exploring historical climate-growth relations in Norway spruce, across varying site conditions in southern Norway
(Master thesis, 2024)This study investigates the climate-growth relationships of Norway spruce (Picea abies) across a north-south gradient in Norway. The research encompasses ten forest sites spanning 325 kilometres from Stor-Elvdal (north) ... -
Exploring the interplay: Assessing the impact of in-stream and riparian conditions on the abundance and diversity of aquatic insects
