Life through an Ediacaran glaciation: Shale- and diamictite-hosted organic-walled microfossil assemblages from the late Neoproterozoic of the Tanafjorden area, northern Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-05)New organic-walled microfossil (OWM) assemblages are reported from upper Neoproterozoic glacial and interglacial siliciclastic deposits in Finnmark, northern Norway. A nearly continuous sedimentary succession of the Vestertana Group contains two glaciogenic units, the Smalfjorden and Mortensnes formations, interpreted as end-Cryogenian Marinoan and Ediacaran glaciations, respectively. We investigated ... -
Historical RNA expression profiles from the extinct Tasmanian tiger
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-18)Paleogenomics continues to yield valuable insights into the evolution, population dynamics, and ecology of our ancestors and other extinct species. However, DNA sequencing cannot reveal tissue-specific gene expression, cellular identity, or gene regulation, which are only attainable at the transcriptional level. Pioneering studies have shown that useful RNA can be extracted from ancient specimens ... -
A Tender World - Transience, Control and the Inevitable
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-12-09)In the thesis, I attempt to investigate uncertainty and change, seen through the concepts of tenderness or vulnerability. Using examples from movements and practices like Deep Adaptation and Deep Listening, I also link this perspective to my recent art practice during the MA studies at UIT through concrete projects, and methodolgies used. -

Accurate microRNA annotation of animal genomes using trained covariance models of curated microRNA complements in MirMachine
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-23)The annotation of microRNAs depends on the availability of transcriptomics data and expert knowledge. This has led to a gap between the availability of novel genomes and high-quality microRNA complements. Using >16,000 microRNAs from the manually curated microRNA gene database MirGeneDB, we generated trained covariance models for all conserved microRNA families. These models are available in our ... -
Sopp og sjamanisme: Chaga som ein aktør i eit spirituelt entreprenørskap
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-08)Chaga er ein materialitet som har skapt nye konsept, ritual og ein ny økonomi innanfor eit sjamanistisk felt i Noreg. Den samiske sjamanen, Ronald Kvernmo, sitt entreprenørskap viser korleis soppen chaga, gjennom ein kompleks dynamikk, har blitt gjenvunne, dyrka og oppskalert til eit symbol på samisk sjamanisme, berekraft og urfolkskunnskap. Gjennom å utforske korleis chaga bidreg til utviklinga av ... -
The prelude to industrial whaling: Identifying the targets of ancient European whaling using zooarchaeology and collagen mass-peptide fingerprinting
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-13)Taxonomic identification of whale bones found during archaeological excavations is problematic due to their typically fragmented state. This difficulty limits understanding of both the past spatio-temporal distributions of whale populations and of possible early whaling activities. To overcome this challenge, we performed zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry on an unprecedented 719 archaeological and ... -

(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2021)I arbeidet med Rødlista for tovinger er 2748 arter vurdert, og av disse er 379 arter (13,8 %) rødlistet. De fleste tovingene på Rødlista 2021 er knyttet til skog. Tovinger er en av de største ordenene av insekter i Norge, trolig med opp mot 10 000 arter, og kunnskapen er fortsatt svært mangelfull for flere av familiene. Det er gjort en del endringer i denne utgaven av Rødlista for tovinger, og noen ... -
Choices and omissions of knowledge and social impact in Finnish committee reports on Sámi policies
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021)In Finland, the involvement of scholars in politics has been particularly strong: scholars and professors have occupied positions in high politics, produced research that was meant as a direct comment on topical political debates, and been active in civil society (Häggman, 2012). In addition to advising high politics and acting in civil society, the Finnish committee institution, a third emerging ... -

Bjørnejakt og samisk gravtradisjon.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020)Tradisjonene rundt den eldgammel samiske bjørnejakten er godt dokumentert, både arkeologisk og etnografisk. Brunbjørnen var et fryktet og samtidig hellig dyr for samene. Spor etter bjørnejakten finner vi i form av graver med bjørnebein i huler og urer i den nordnorske naturen. Bjørnen ble hedret for å sikre jaktlykke og for å sikre bjørnens tilbakekomst og rettmessige plass i naturen. -
