  • Scientific report from the Norwegian and Russian Barents Sea ecosystem surveys in August-October 2024 (BESS) 

    van der Meeren, Gro Ingleid; Prozorkevich, Dmitry; Eriksen, Elena; Karlson, Stine; Lerch, Sarah Joanne; Mørk, Herdis Langøy; Prokhorova, Tatyana; Grøsvik, Bjørn Einar; Klepikovsky, Roman; Johannesen, Edda; Bogstad, Bjarte; Aune, Magnus; Russkikh, Alexey; Filin, Anatoly; Windsland, Kristin; Skaret, Georg; Dolgov, Andrej; Wienerroither, Rupert; Zimmermann, Fabian; Hjelset, Ann Merete; Danielsen, Hanna Ellerine Helle; Bakanev, Sergey; Blinova, Daria; Jørgensen, Lis Lindal; Strelkova, Natalia; Biuw, Martin; Boehm, Frederike; Fauchald, Per (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2025-05-08)
    The aim of the national Norwegian/Russian ecosystem surveys in the Barents Sea and adjacent waters, August- October (BESS) is to monitor the status and changes in the Barents Sea ecosystem and provide data to support scientific research and manager advice. The survey has since 2004 been conducted annually in the autumn, as a collaboration between the Institute of Marine Research (IMR) in Norway ...
  • Enhanced subglacial discharge amplifies Petermann Ice Shelf melting when ocean thermal forcing saturates 

    Prakash, Abhay; Zhou, Qin; Hattermann, Tore; Kirchner, Nina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-05-06)
    Increased basal melting of the Petermann Ice Shelf is typically attributed to rising ocean temperatures. While subglacial discharge is known to intensify basal melt, the underlying mechanisms and their evolution in a warming climate remain unresolved. Using a 3-D numerical regional ice shelf–ocean model centered on the Petermann Fjord, we identify a regime shift in heat flux efficiency within the ...
  • Inappropriate Behavior and Dropout from Sport: A Quantitative Study of Elite Athletes in Denmark 

    Holum, Marthe Liss; Diment, Gregory M.; Jakobsen, Tor Georg; Storm, Rasmus K. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025)
    In the international sporting arms race to win medals at major tournaments, addressing the determinants of elite athlete dropout is essential. This is especially true for smaller nations, which are at a disadvantage to large nations when it comes to the availability of talent. Therefore, the retention of the elite is essential. In this paper, we examine survey data from Danish top-level athletes to ...
  • Animal ethnography and a relational approach to sustainability: methodological challenges and opportunities in wildlife tourism 

    Bertella, Giovanna; Tomassini, Lucia; Vester, Heike; McArthur, Jo-Anne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-05-15)
    We adopted a collaborative research approach involving two tourism scholars, a biologist and a photojournalist to discuss ethnography and sustainability from a posthuman ecofeminist perspective. We focused on ethnography as a potentially fruitful methodology for supporting justice in wildlife tourism. We reviewed the literature on more-than-human methodologies, including emerging studies on animal ...
  • Towards Migraine-Event Prediction Using Continuous Long-Term Biometric Sensor Data 

    Henriksen, André; Ursin, Daniel; Norbye, Anja Margrete Davis; Hartvigsen, Gunnar; Farbu, Erlend Hoftun (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025)
    Migraine is a common chronic headache disorder characterizsed by episodes of moderate to severe headaches, resulting in a large personal- and societal burden. To address this, we implemented a mobile app solution aimed at enhancing continuous data collection and increasing data coverage for the Empatica E4 biometric sensor device. Our ultimate goal is to use this system in a future migraine event ...
