A Methodological Framework for the Resilience Analysis of Road Transport Networks Exposed to Freezing Rain
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2022)Road transport network is one of the major critical infrastructures to be maintained resilient, since its disruption would not only have direct economic consequences, but it could also lead to domino effects on other critical infrastructures. This study proposes a methodological framework for the analysis of the resilience of road transport networks exposed to natural hazards, in particular to ... -
Data Analysis Techniques for Smart Nudging

Resilience of a transportation network: Importance of vulnerable nodes
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2022)Transportation Infrastructure is one of key critical infrastructures which are crucial for a wellfunctioning modern society. This study proposes a resilience-oriented framework for analyzing and ultimately mitigating risk and improving resilience for land transportation networks with a focus on vulnerable nodes. The framework uses network theory and considers the concept of independent pathways, ... -
UX-based personalization of timed media experiences
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2021)A client-side approach brings great opportunities for flexible personalization of timed media experiences. This, turns it into a challenge of UX development. However, UX development does not support time-driven rendering or shared interactivity, which are required by media related scenarios. Moreover, UX development is already quite complicated, so adding support for timed rendering and shared ... -

The Cenozoic evolution and sedimentary successions of the southwestern Eurasia Basin and the northern Svalbard/Barents Sea continental margin
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2017)<p>The geologic history of the SW Eurasian Basin and the northern Svalbard/Barents Sea continental margin started in Late Cretaceous / early Tertiary. Since about 50 Ma seafloor spreading has been active in the Eurasian Basin splitting off the Lomonosov Ridge from the northern Eurasian Shelf. Since Miocene, rifting and seafloor spreading have been also established in between NE Greenland and Svalbard, ... -
On confinement and plasma acceleration from a small ECR plasma source
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2019)<p>Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) is a technique to create high density, low temperature plasmas that do not depend on a cathode, like arc discharges and are therefore easier to maintain and have a longer lifespan. The use of the Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) for electron heating for Magnetic Nozzle (MN) thrusters have recently received increased interest, as they have been shown to provide ... -
Should humans work?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-01)Should humans work? A simple question at a time when the advent of AI, automation and robotics claims a privileged position in the future of work. The question is perplexing and confusing however once we enquire into the meaning of technology and work as such: some claim that human jobs and well-being might be threatened by technological advances while others predict an increase in high skilled ... -
Solar energy for residential electric vehicle charging in Northern Norway – a feasibility study
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2018)This paper presents a study of the potential for using photovoltaic (PV) solar energy systems for residential charging of electric vehicles (EVs) in Northern Norway. The objective is to investigate the load match between PV yield and uncontrolled EV charging, in terms of self-consumption and self-sufficiency. The load profile for EV charging is retrieved from a study by the Norwegian Water Resources ... -

Linking tectonostratigraphy and denudation history: insights from a mass balance approach
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2017)<p>The offshore deep-sea stratigraphy provides the archive for reconstructing the paleoenvironment of the surrounding land and continental shelf areas. Mapping of seismic reflections as well as borehole correlation may identify the processes and timing of basin infilling. Regional and local tectonic events will be linked to other controlling factors in defining the structural configuration in order ... -
Holocene relative shore-level changes and development of the Ģipka lagoon in the western Gulf of Riga
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-13)Holocene relative shore-level changes and development of the G ipka palaeolagoon in the western Gulf of Riga are reconstructed using multiproxy analyses by combining litho-, biostratigraphical and chronological data with remote sensing and geophysical data. The results show the development of the G ipka basin from the Ancylus Lake/Initial Litorina Sea coastal zone (before c. 9.1 cal. ka BP) to ... -
Observation of mesospheric dust and ionospheric conditions during the G-chaser rocket campaign
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2019)SPID, Smoke Particle Impact Detector, is a Faraday cup detector designed to measure nanometer-sized meteoric smoke particles during rocket flights. We report measurements made with SPID during the G-Chaser student rocket campaign 13 January 2019 and describe the design of the SPID instruments. Model calculations of dust trajectories within the detector result in an effective cross section of 0.97 ... -
Seal integrity in the uplifted basins in the greater Hoop area on the Northern Barents Shelf
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2019)The geological evolution of the northern Barents Shelf is complex, and the area has undergone several phases of tectonic activity leading to a mosaic of several deep and shallow basins, platforms, salt-cored domes and structural highs. The area is highly gas prone with some very few commercial oil discoveries, and only two fields currently in production. Deep burial and subsequent Late Cretaceous–Cenozoic ... -
Trap and seal analysis of the northern Barents Shelf
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2018)Although the majority of exploration wells in the Barents Sea has encountered hydrocarbons, only two fields, the Snøhvit (gas) and Goliat (oil) fields are currently in production. The geological evolution of the area, including previous deep burial and subsequent exhumation, has contributed to the leakage of hydrocarbon from many traps. Understanding the timing of hydrocarbon generation and migration, ... -
The Cenozoic pre-glacial tectono-sedimentary development of the western Barents Sea margin: implications for uplift and erosion of the sediment source areas
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2017)<p>The Cenozoic development of the western Barents Sea continental margin is strongly related to the rifting and seafloor spreading between Norway and Greenland. The margin is characterized by a series of highs and basins that formed as part of the development of a mega-transform zone. To the north, the Spitsbergen Fold and Thrust Belt and the Eocene clinoform development in the Central Basin that ... -
