The future stability of modern marine-terminating ice sheets is of great concern as an increased rate of retreat might mark the onset of their collapse. An increased rate of retreat is accompanied by an increase in meltwater and sediment discharge at the ice margin which has prompted research to focus on the drainage system of marine-terminating ice sheets. Recent discoveries of eskers at water-terminating ...

This study investigates the temporal variations in methane concentration and flare activity in the Hola trough (offshore Norway) during May 2018 and June 2022. Between these time periods, methane seep activity exhibits 3.5 times increase, as evidenced by hydroacoustic measurements. As the seep area in the Hola trough is constantly within the hydrate stability zone, the observed increase cannot be ...

<p>Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) achieved through, among others, β-lactamase activity, remains an ongoing challenge for the treatment of infections caused by antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-expressing bacteria, resistant to most β-lactam antibiotics, are of growing clinical relevance with currently no approved treatment options available. The most common approaches to ...

Precise optical alignment is critical for high-quality microscopy imaging, especially in custom-built systems. This guide details essential alignment steps, from beam path setup to lens collimation and centering, introduces key tools like pinholes and shearing interferometers, and advocates for a modular construction approach. This article aims to empower microscopy enthusiasts with practical alignment ...

Tema for denne studien er relasjoner mellom tradisjonell samisk kultur og kombinatorikk. Jeg ble inspirert til å skrive en masteroppgave om dette etter å ha sett et undervisningsopplegg som tok for seg bruken av tradisjonelle samiske reinmerker i matematikkundervisningen. Problemstillingen søker å identifisere og belyse matematisk tenkning innenfor samisk kunnskap om tradisjonell reinmerking. Dermed ...

Climate change can trigger climate tipping points, which are among the major threats to human society. Tipping points are thresholds beyond which a system undergoes abrupt, often irreversible, changes even if the external forcing is brought to a halt. Several large-scale elements in the Earth system are considered tipping elements with global consequences once critical thresholds are crossed and ...

The quantification of peak locomotor demands has been gathering researchers’ attention in the past years. Regardless of the different methodological approaches used, the most selected epochs are between 1-, 3-, 5- and 15-minutes time windows. However, the selection of these time frames is frequently arbitrary. The aim of this study was to analyse the peak locomotor demands of short time epochs (15, ...

Solar Orbiter is equipped with electrical antennas performing fast measurements of the surrounding electric field. The antennas register high-velocity dust impacts through the electrical signatures of impact ionization. Although the basic principle of the detection has been known for decades, the understanding of the underlying process is not complete, due to the unique mechanical and electrical ...

This chapter outlines the development of “The Ocean Senses Activity Book” integrating a multisensory approach to ocean education for pupils and the general public. Originating from an expedition in the Arctic Ocean, the project aimed to cultivate more effective cognitive approaches to ocean literacy education and communication. It bridged the gap between scientific exploration and public engagement, ...

This chapter frames marine sustainability within ongoing global and regional initiatives in lifelong learning and adult education. The authors of this chapter argue that to achieve the ambitious targets set out in the SDGs, our adult population must be able to recognise, engage with, and act upon economic, social, and environmental challenges. The authors of this chapter present the many barriers ...
