    • Iceberg melting substantially modifies oceanic heat flux towards a major Greenlandic tidewater glacier 

      Davidson, B. J.; Cowton, T. R.; Cottier, Finlo Robert; Sole, A. J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-25)
      Fjord dynamics influence oceanic heat flux to the Greenland ice sheet. Submarine iceberg melting releases large volumes of freshwater within Greenland’s fjords, yet its impact on fjord dynamics remains unclear. We modify an ocean model to simulate submarine iceberg melting in Sermilik Fjord, east Greenland. Here we find that submarine iceberg melting cools and freshens the fjord by up to ~5 °C and ...

    • On the division of labor between roots and functional structure 

      Alexiadou, Artemis; Lohndal, Terje (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2017-05)
      This chapter argues that there is a typology of languages according to how much meaning a root encodes independently of its syntactic categorization. This typology is illustrated by an in-depth discussion of three languages: English, Greek, and Hebrew. Hebrew is argued to represent one end of the scale where the root encodes a minimal and highly abstract meaning. English represents the other end ...

      The new SARS-CoV-2 pandemic leads to COVID-19 with respiratory failure, substantial morbidity, and significant mortality. Overactivation of the innate immune response is postulated to trigger this detrimental process. The complement system is a key player in innate immunity. Despite a few reports of local complement activation, there is a lack of evidence that the degree of systemic complement ...

    • Interactive governance of small-scale fisheries and aquaculture: Transdisciplinary challenges of community involvement 

      Msomphora, Mbachi Ruth (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2018-10)
      Successful fisheries governance requires stakeholder’s involvement from point zero. However, it is usually hard to achieve this, especially if the stakeholders have significantly different interests, knowledge and power. In this regard, authors in this field expect that a fisheries governance that entails sharing management responsibilities between the authorities and the resource users i.e. ...
