Beyond Traditional Metrics: Exploring the Potential of Hybrid Algorithms for Drought Characterization and Prediction in the Tromso Region, Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-03)Meteorological drought, defined as a decrease in the average amount of precipitation, is among the most insidious natural disasters.

Using a media archive search and conducting a discursive analysis, we explore how journalistic reporting and debates ... -
Vision at high latitudes: High sensitivity without specific boreal adaptations in photoreception in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-18)1. The light climate at high latitudes, in particular the extended twilight of winter and the reduced diel variation in light level in midsummer and midwinter, potentially constrains visual function and the synchronisation of temporal organisation in polar species.<p> <p>2. In this paper, we describe the temporal pattern and variation in the spectral composition and brightness of skylight ... -

The possibility of escaping and resisting a hierarchical and oppressive system allows the rise ... -
