Government-industry dynamics in the development of offshore waste management in Norway: from prescriptive to risk-based regulation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-14)Petroleum activities are associated with high risks. In the 1980s, concerns arose about the environmental impacts of ‘normal’ petroleum activity. Regular operations go hand-in-hand with emissions to air and discharges to sea. Both have been subject to extensive regulation since the 1990s. This paper analyzes the design and implementation of the Norwegian system that regulates operational discharges ... -

Afro-alpine flagships revisited: Parallel adaptation, intermountain admixture and shallow genetic structuring in the giant senecios (Dendrosenecio)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-18)Distantly related lineages of the enigmatic giant rosette plants of tropical alpine environments provide classical examples of convergent adaptation. For the giant senecios (<i>Dendrosenecio</i>), the endemic landmarks of the East African sky islands, it has also been suggested that parallel adaptation has been important for within-lineage differentiation. To test this hypothesis and to address ... -
