Statements on race and class: the fairness of skills-based immigration criteria
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-01)It is often argued that states do not have any special obligations towards economic migrants, and that skills-based selection of migrants is morally unproblematic. In this paper, I argue that even if one does not endorse special obligations towards economic migrants, there are good reasons to be critical of skills-based selection due to its effect on the citizens in the country they are migrating ... -
Spring sea ice algal development in the sub-Arctic Ramfjorden, northern Norway
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-29)The seasonal development of sea ice algae and bacteria was investigated in Ramfjorden, Norway, from February to April 2019 and compared to data from two Arctic fjords, Van Mijenfjorden and Billefjorden, sampled in April 2019. The sea ice in Ramfjorden was heavily freshwater influenced with bulk salinities ranging from 0.0 to 2.8, similar to those found in freshwater influenced Baltic Sea ice. The ... -
A sub-centennial-scale optically stimulated luminescence chronostratigraphy and late Holocene flood history from a temperate river confluence
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-18)River confluences can be metastable and contain valuable geological records of catchment response to decadal- to millennial-scale environmental change. However, in alluvial reaches, flood stratigraphies are particularly hard to date using 14C. In this paper, we use a novel combination of optically stimulated luminescence and multiproxy sedimentological analyses to provide a flood record for the ... -
Multiplatform-SfM and TLS Data Fusion for Monitoring Agricultural Terraces in Complex Topographic and Landcover Conditions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-17)Agricultural terraced landscapes, which are important historical heritage sites (e.g., UNESCO or Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) sites) are under threat from increased soil degradation due to climate change and land abandonment. Remote sensing can assist in the assessment and monitoring of such cultural ecosystem services. However, due to the limitations imposed by rugged ... -

Linking methane fluxes and oxidation rates to methane oxidizing bacteria in an Arctic terrestrial methane seep, Svalbard
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-29)Global warming has especially detrimental effects on Arctic regions. One major issue is permafrost thaw and sub-permafrost methane escape via surface seeps. While the mitigation potential of methane-consuming bacteria on marine pingo-like methane seeps is well described, terrestrial methane seeps are still understudied. Recently, open system pingos have gained attention as terrestrial methane seeps. ... -
