Activated and enriched “designer” biochar as sorbent in remediation of PFAS and metal contaminated soils
(Master thesis, 2019)Soil contamination has become a major environmental problem of global concern, and there is a need for effective remediation methods to counteract this problem. Immobilisation of contaminants in soil using the carbonaceous ... -
Aggregatstabilitet i jord med ulike nivåer av plantetilgjengelig fosfor
(Master thesis, 2021)Aggregatstabilitet brukes som et mål for å vurdere en jords strukturelle kvalitet. Det er viktig å opprettholde høy aggregatstabilitet for å bevare jordens produktivitet, minimere jorderosjon og miljøforurensing som følge ... -
Akkumulering av metaller i en innsjø eksponert for avrenning fra høytrafikkert veg, landbruk, kommunalt avløpsnett og tette flater : vertikal fordeling av metaller i en sedimentsøyle fra Østensjøvannet, Ås kommune
(Master thesis, 2020)Avrenning fra vegnettet kan være en viktig kilde til diffus forurensning, og kan inneholde flere metaller fra ulike vegtrafikkrelaterte kilder. Metaller er av spesiell interesse i tilknytning til vegavrenning grunnet deres ... -
Aksept for bakkemontert solkraft i Norge - En prioritering av areal?
(Master thesis, 2024)Innen år 2050 skal Norge utvikles til et lavutslippssamfunn, hvor bruken av fossil energi er nær null. For å nå dette målet trengs det en energiomstilling hvor tilnærmet all energien vi bruker må komme fra fornybare kilder. ... -

(Master thesis, 2022)This master’s thesis has investigated the cooperation between the tourism sector and the municipality's efforts for sustainable destinations. The purpose of this thesis was to look at governance of sustainable tourism ... -
Alunskifer : bergarters svarte får : en redegjørelse for forurensningspotensialet til alunskifer, med særlig fokus på uran
(Master thesis, 2018)It has been acknowledged for a long time, that alum shale is a rock that causes trouble. Already in 1957, reports said that the rock caused technical problems, because it started to swell beneath buildings. An even greater ... -
Amphibians in a blue-green infrastructure stream on the NMBU campus
(Master thesis, 2024)Amphibians are the most threatened vertebrate group globally, facing high rates of decline and extinction, with habitat loss and degradation being the largest threat. Infrastructure development and urbanisation is a large ... -
An analysis on the attractiveness of different grid configurations for offshore wind power investors
(Master thesis, 2023)Attracting offshore wind power investors is important for the Norwegian government to reach its development goal for offshore wind power. This thesis presents an investment decision model to evaluate the investment incentive ... -
An evaluation of the efficiency of survey methods to monitor large mammals in Cusuco National Park, Honduras
(Master thesis, 2017)Field sign surveys and camera trap surveys are frequently used in the tropics as the preferred survey technique to monitor large terrestrial mammal communities. However, these methods vary in the efficiency of detecting ... -
