The hydrothermal Vannareid Cu-Zn mineralization is located on the island of Vanna, West Troms Basement Complex. It was discovered in 2008 and was subject of Store Norske Gull AS' exploration project in 2012. The mineralization is situated along the border between the Archean granitoid basement intruded by tholeiitic and calc-alkaline dykes, and the overlying Neoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks of ...

Consider the Earth’s global mean surface temperature time series (GMST) as a realization of a stochastic process. Based on a number of studies, a long-range memory (LRM) stochastic process seems to describe the GMST better than a shortrange memory model, such as the AR(1)-process. We want to study the persistence in climate model simulations, to find out if simulated temperature data exhibit the ...

Background: An increasing quantity of research in the domain of telemedicine show a growing popularity and acceptance of care over distance systems among both clinicians and patients. We focus on telementoring solutions, developed for providing remote guidance to less experienced surgeons. Telestration is often regarded as an extra functionality of some telementoring systems. However, we advocate ...

This is a case study of the establishment of an oil spill response regime in the Arctic region. The context is the work of the Arctic Council and the development of the Agreement on Cooperation on Marine Oil Pollution Preparedness and Response in the Arctic. Three research topics are studied; regime, response system and the role of politics and professions. The Arctic oil spill response agreement ...

«Hvilke barrierer finnes for lokal klimatilpasning, hvordan jobber Fylkesmannen med disse barrierene og hvordan kan kompetanseoverføring tilrettelegges for å styrke lokal klimatilpasning – en studie av Fylkesmannen i Finnmark.» Problemstillingen har sin bakgrunn i et stadig økende fokus på klimaendringene og tilpasning til disse både globalt, nasjonalt og regionalt. Problemstillingen er forsøkt ...

Veistrekningen mellom Storskreda og Sørbotn ligger i det som kalles Lavangsdalen. Lavangsdalen er hoved-forbindelsen mellom Tromsø og sørover i Norge. Som følge av de mange trafikkulykkene som har funnet sted i Lavangsdalen, iverksatte regjeringen strakstiltak og bevilget penger for å utbedre veistrekningen mellom Sørbotn og Storskreda. Denne oppgaven har som formål å undersøke om vi kan forvente ...

Hovedformålet med oppgaven har vært å undersøke hvordan sikkerhetsmål blir kommunisert og fulgt opp innenfor to banestrekninger i Jernbaneverket (JBV), og om sikkerhetsmålene kan bidra til organisatorisk læring. Det har i tillegg derfor også vært sentralt å undersøke sikkerhetsstyringen og rapporteringskulturen for disse banestrekningene. Gjennom oppgaven er det avdekket at sikkerhetsmålene på ...

This thesis elucidates thermal energy transfer at Elkem Salten Verk, and tries to determine the most favorable approach on how to provide indoor heating by thermal energy for a building at the plant site. My goal for this thesis was to create some suggestions, regarding the type of heating systems and their energy rates in order to provide enough heating power for Miljøbygget.

Lego Mindstorms is a popular tool used by universities for educational and demonstrational purposes. Lego Mindstorms is a set of buildable and programmable robotic kits, made by Lego. It allows for a high level of participation from the audience, while being easily programmable. However, for demonstrational and recruitment purposes, it is not without shortcomings. When there is a limited time to ...

During the winter of 2013, Northern Norway saw several large avalanche episodes that caused closed roads and loss of human lives. On Senja and Kval\o ya two large avalanches were reported and images from RADARSAT-2 were ordered in ultrafine mode with the goal of detecting these large avalanches in SAR images. Later that year another two images were ordered from RADARSAT-2 that were be used as reference ...
