    Auer, Andreea-Gabriela; van der Bilt, Willem Godert Maria; Schomacker, Anders; Bakke, Jostein; Støren, Eivind W. N.; Buckby, Joseph; Cederstrøm, Jan Magne; van der Plas, Sander (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-02-11)
    Accelerated Arctic warming and wetting has global impacts, as the region’s glaciers and ice caps respond to variations in temperature and precipitation, impacting global sea-level change. But as the observations needed to calibrate models are scarce, predictions cannot confirm if increases in snowfall can help offset melt. Here, we analyze two 14,000-year-long glacier-fed lake sediment records ...
  • A comparative analysis of life-history features and adaptive strategies of Arctic and subarctic seal species-who will win the climate change challenge? 

    Ferguson, Steven H.; Higdon, Jeff W.; Young, Brent G.; Petersen, Stephen D.; Carlyle, Cody G.; Lea, Ellen V.; Sauvé, Caroline C.; Kohlbach, Doreen; Fisk, Aaron T.; Thiemann, Gregory W.; Florko, Katie R.N.; Muir, Derek C.G.; Hamilton, Charmain Danielle; Houde, Magali; Sudlovenick, Enooyaq; Yurkowski, David J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-09)
    Understanding and predicting species range shifts is crucial for conservation amid global warming. This study analyzes life-history traits of four seal species (ringed (Pusa hispida (Schreber, 1775)), bearded (Erignathus barbatus (Erxleben, 1777)), harp (Pagophilus groenlandicus (Erxleben, 1777)), and harbour (Phoca vitulina Linnaeus, 1758) seals) in the Canadian Arctic using data from Inuit subsistence ...
  • A Network-based Set Covering Model for Charging Station Location Problem: A Case Study in Norway 

    Yu, Hao; Sun, Xu; Thordarson, Diana Santalova; Solbakken, Kine; Solvang, Wei Deng (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024-02-25)
    Due to the worldwide concern about excessive greenhouse emissions and global warming, vehicles with cleaner sources of energy, e.g., electricity, hydrogen, etc., have been increasingly introduced into the market. Apart from the regulations and government incentives, the distance convenience and accessibility to charging stations have become one of the most important success factors to promote the ...
  • Fortifying Border Memories: Memory Politics in the Post-Soviet Russian North 

    Spirin, Artem (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2025-03-14)
    Memory politics involves public efforts to shape and circulate certain representations of the past for political purposes. By engaging with memory politics, social actors participate in mediating the collective representations of the past and influencing historical consciousness. As a powerful tool for legitimation, identity building, and production of consent, memory politics is a usual part of the ...
  • Singular NPs and the expression of genericity in Norwegian 

    Velnić, Marta; Slabakova, Roumyana; Dahl, Anne; Listhaug, Kjersti Faldet (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-02-13)
    This paper explores the capacity of singular noun phrases (NPs) to express genericity in Norwegian, examining how definite, indefinite, and bare singular forms map onto generic meanings. A timed acceptability judgment task was used to investigate how each form correlates with generic expressions, delving into the subtleties of their usage in native language. Thirty-three Norwegian native speakers ...
