Giant pit craters on the modern seafloor above magma-induced hydrothermal vent complexes of Scotia Sea, offshore Antarctica
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-01-24)Massive injection of <sup>13</sup>C depleted carbon to the ocean and atmosphere coincided with major environmental upheaval multiple times in the geological record. For several events, the source of carbon has been attributed to explosive venting of gas produced when magmatic sills intruded organic-rich sediment. The concept mostly derives from studies of a few ancient sedimentary basins with numerous ... -
Sanctuary for vulnerable Arctic species at the Borealis Mud Volcano
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-01-27)Borealis is a recently discovered submerged mud volcano in the Polar North Atlantic, differing from the numerous methane seepages previously identified in the region. Here we show in situ observations from a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), capturing the release of warm (11.5 °C) Neogene sediments and methane-rich fluids from a gryphon at Borealis. The surrounding seafloor within the mud volcano ... -
Enhancing assessment of direct and indirect exposure of settlement-transportation systems to mass movements by intergraph representation learning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-14)Amidst the intensifying extreme rainfall patterns due to climate change, global early warning systems for mass movements (e.g. landslides, avalanches) need to provide not only the coarsely aggregated danger reports, but also the necessary fine details to understand its potential implications on critical infrastructures such as transportation systems. In this study, we introduce a novel ‘intergraph’ ... -
Measuring societal safety: An analysis of societal safety-related composite indices and their alignment with the Norwegian understanding of societal safety
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2024-11-23)The global society is shaped by the continous emerge of new technologies and increased globalization which makes the world more interconnected. This affects the ways in which risks can impact, and alters the global state of societal safety. The effects of climate induced events and conflicts can have impacts sporadically, and one must therefore adapt to the new risk pathways. By analyzing societal ... -

Rhenium-Sulfido and -Dithiolato Corroles: Reflections on Chalcophilicity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-16)he high-temperature (∼180 °C) reaction between free-base mesotriarylcorroles and Re<sub>2</sub>(CO)<sub>10</sub>, followed by exposure to PCl3 and thiols (or elemental sulfur), affords rhenium-sulfido (ReS) corroles in 67−76% yields. The use of shorter reaction times, lower temperatures (∼130 °C), and a dithiol (e.g., ethane-1,2-dithiol) also allows the isolation of rhenium-dithiolato corroles, ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-01-19)Sustainability, food security, and human health. This study builds on previous research [1] and explores the role of phytoremediation, a plant-based, eco-friendly strategy in mitigating heavy metal pollution to achieve Sus tainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being) while addressing its lesser-known implications for oral and dental health. Through an analysis of seven key metals ... -
Incidence angle dependency and seasonal evolution of L and C-band SAR backscatter over landfast sea ice
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-02)We estimate sea-ice type specific incidence angle (IA) dependencies for dual polarized (HH/HV) L and C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) for the winter, melt onset and advanced melt seasons for level and deformed ice, using time-series of Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 (ALOS-2) and Sentinel-1 imagery off the north-east coast of Greenland. The IA dependencies are used to radiometrically ... -

Improving Land Surface Temperature Estimation in Cloud Cover Scenarios Using Graph-Based Propagation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-03)Land surface temperature (LST) serves as an important climate variable which is relevant to a number of studies related to energy and water exchanges, vegetation growth and urban heat island effects. Although LST can be derived from satellite observations, these approaches rely on cloud‐free acquisitions. This represents a significant obstacle in regions which are prone to cloud cover. In this ... -

Spin representations and binary numbers
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024)We consider a construction of the fundamental spin representations of the simple Lie algebras so(n) in terms of binary arithmetic of fixed width integers. This gives the spin matrices as a Lie subalgebra of a Z-graded associative algebra (rather than the usual N-filtered Clifford algebra). Our description gives a quick way to write down the spin matrices, and gives a way to encode some extra structure, ... -
