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 ... -
Sirkulær massehåndtering : en sammenlignende LCA-studie av to behandlingsmåter for forurensede gravemasser
(Master thesis, 2022)Uttak av nytt byggeråstoff øker stadig, samtidig som store mengder gravemasser fra infrastrukturprosjekter fortsatt blir deponert. Dette er ikke i tråd med tankegangen bak en sirkulær økonomi. I denne masteroppgaven brukes ... -
Sjørøya (Salvelinus alpinus) i Linnévassdraget, Svalbard : livshistorietrekk og populasjonsstruktur ti år etter innføring av kvotebasert fangst
(Master thesis, 2018)Populasjonsstruktur, vandringsmønster og diett hos anadrom røye (Salvelinus alpinus) i Linnévassdraget på Vest-Spitsbergen, Svalbard, vart undersøkt sommar/haust 2017. Linnévatnet dekker 4,6 km², og er eit av dei lettast ... -
Skogbruk i Oslomarka : hvordan påvirkes skogbruket av markaforskriften?
(Master thesis, 2022)Oslomarka er den største bymarka i Norge og over 1 million mennesker har tilknytning til denne. Skogsområdet huser en rekke viktige økosystemtjentester og noen av de viktigste er biologisk mangfold, rekreasjon og ... -
Skogeieres oppfatninger om klimaendringer, klimatilpasset skogskjøtsel og rådgiving om klimatilpasning i skogbruket
(Master thesis, 2018)I Norge er det beregnet en økning i temperatur og nedbør frem mot år 2100. Det vil få ulike konsekvenser for skogbruket. I denne oppgaven har jeg undersøkt hvordan norske og svenske skogeiere oppfatter klimaendringene, om ... -
Skogrestaurering i Junkerdalsura naturreservat: effekter på vedlevende biller
(Master thesis, 2023)Død ved spiller en essensiell rolle i skogøkosystemer ved å bidra med økosystemfunksjoner som karbonlagring og næringsstoff-sirkulering, i tillegg til å være en fundamental ressurs for biodiversitet i skog. Vedlevende ... -
Slagg fra prosessindustrien : nyttiggjøring som filtermateriale for deponisigevann
(Master thesis, 2019)Sigevann fra avfallsdeponier kan være en stor kilde til spredning av miljøgifter som videre kan forurense jord, vann og luft. I denne hovedoppgaven vil slagg fra prosessindustrien bli brukt som et filtermateriale for å ... -
