Polar Weather Modelling with Graph Neural Networks
(Master thesis, 2025)Accurately predicting wind speed is essential for assessing the viability of new offshore wind farm locations. However, forecasting wind patterns in regions such as the Norwegian Arctic presents significant challenges due to complex terrain and variable atmospheric conditions. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), which are well-suited for learning from spatially structured and interconnected data, offer a ... -

In this thesis, we propose a shaver, a novel compression system tailored for Web-Based GIS platforms, combining unstructured grid simplification with state-of-the-art lossy floating-point compression. Building on ... -
Exploring the possibility of using a deep learning based pipeline for seal detection and classification from high-resolution optical satellite images
(Master thesis, 2025)In this thesis, we investigate the possibility of using a deep learning based pipeline for detection and classification of seals in high-resolution optical satellite images. The pipeline includes a seal detector which uses a UNet-3+ architecture and a clustering module for point level prediction, and an image level convolutional neural network (CNN) seal classifier. Areal images targeting the seal ... -
Reliable reduction of manual workload for oil spill detection in SAR images using uncertainty estimation and deep learning
(Master thesis, 2025)Marine oil spills require constant monitoring as they can cause severe environmental damage. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are often used for oil spill detection, but they are complex and the analysis is a time-consuming process as there are a lot of areas to monitor. Therefore, the manual analysis of the images will inevitably lead to some errors. Deep learning models can be deployed for ... -
Enhancing Ship Bridge Design for Navigation Performance
(Master thesis, 2025)In recent decades, rapid technology implementation in ship bridges have raised concerns about their role in contributing to human error and maritime accidents. Critical gaps emerge in our understanding of the interplay with system factors and human performance within this dynamic context. Accident investigations often overlook technology-related factors, as it is assumed that operators are already ... -
Ungdomsskoleelevers generalisering i matematikk - En kvalitativ studie av 9. klassingers strategier i møte med mønsteroppgaver
(Master thesis, 2025)I denne masteroppgaven har jeg undersøkt hvordan elever på 9. trinn arbeider med matematisk generalisering gjennom å gi elever mønsteroppgaver. Resultater fra PISA 2022 viser at norske elever aldri har scoret lavere i PISA-undersøkelsen innen kunnskapsområdet matematikk og at en betydelig større andel norske elever presterer på lavt nivå i matematikk enn tidligere. Kun sju prosent av elevene havner ... -

Studien tar for seg hvordan fagfornyelsen fra 2020 legger større vekt på elevaktivitet og selvstendig utforskning. Oppgaven tar for seg to sentrale modeller for problemløsning: den analytiske modellen som ... -
Hvordan anvender og vurderer piloter i Widerøe unfit?
(Master thesis, 2025)Denne studien har undersøkt hvordan piloter i Widerøe forstår og anvender begrepet unfit. Studien benyttet en kvantitativ tilnærming med en spørreundersøkelse besvart av 104 Widerøe-piloter (21 % av utvalget). Hele 62,5 % av respondentene oppgir at de i løpet av de siste 24 månedene har vært på jobb i situasjoner hvor de i ettertid eller underveis tenkte at de burde meldt seg unfit. Årsakene er ... -
Vurdering av skriftlige elevbesvarelser i matematikk
(Master thesis, 2025)Ifølge læreplanene i matematikk skal underveisvurderingen «bidra til å fremme læring og til å utvikle kompetanse i matematikk» (Utdanningsdirektoratet, 2020). All vurdering som ikke er summativ skal brukes til å fremme og øke elevens kompetanse (Engh & Gran, 2021). Med dette i bakhodet og at vurdering i seg selv er komplekst, ønsket jeg å undersøke hvordan lærere begrunner sine vurderinger av ... -
Just Culture at a crossroads: The Widerøe Case - A study of reporting behavior in Norwegian aviation post Helge Ingstad case
(Master thesis, 2025)At 04:01 on November 8th, 2018, the Norwegian frigate HNoMS Helge Ingstad collided with the tanker Sola TS near the Sture Terminal in the Hjeltefjord, eventually sinking. Of the 137 crew members, seven sustained minor injuries. While initial media attention focused on the collision, it later shifted to the legal proceedings. A single individual was convicted, with findings from the Accident Investigation ... -
Human Factors and Flight Deck Design - Past Lessons and Future Directions
(Master thesis, 2025)This thesis examines the development of flight deck design, and how the relationship between design, human factors, and crew resource management (CRM), plays a key role in aviation safety and pilot performance. With a combination of a literature review, case studies, and an empirical study consisting of a survey and interview responses from pilots and experts in the field, the researchers have ... -
Bayesian framework for curve alignment and change point detection applied to marine sediment core data
(Master thesis, 2025)Paleoclimate proxy records such as marine sediment cores are crucial for understanding past climate conditions. The deposition rate for these archives may vary dramatically both within individual cores and between them, obfuscating the temporal expression of events. Accurate alignment of cores is therefore critical for determining extent and rate of past climate change. Current methods are performed ... -
Modelling ice throw trajectories from wind turbines
(Master thesis, 2025)Wind turbines in cold climates can occasionally experience ice throws that travel significant distances, posing a low-probability but high-consequence safety risk. Current guidelines typically rely on the empirical Seifert safety distance, defined as d = k x (H + D), where k is the throw factor – commonly set to 1.5, H is the hub height, and D is the rotor diameter. However, both observational field ... -
Vurdering av fleksibilitetspotensialet til smart varmtvannsberedere i Tromsø, basert på empirisk data fra innovasjonsprosjektet Smart Senja
(Master thesis, 2025)Økt elektrifisering av samfunnet har ført til høyere belastning og dermed ført til et økt behov for fleksibilitet i strømnettet. Varmtvannsberedere er et standard husholdningsapparat som finnes i de aller fleste husholdninger i Norge. Varmtvannsberedere er den vanligste formen for termisk lagring. Ved å utnytte den termiske lagringskapasiteten kan man flytte strømforbruket til lavlastperioder. Denne ... -
Mapping Reasoning Paths of Large Language Models
(Master thesis, 2025)This thesis tracks general LLM reasoning by examining how two open-weight models—GPT2-XL (1.5 B) and GPT-Neo (1.3 B)—organise meaning across their hidden layers. Four structured text suites (unrelated, related, identical, cross-lingual) and 50-word “Country-Stories” summaries feed the models. Layer-wise activations are projected with UMAP, connected via k-nearest-neighbour graphs, and summarised ... -
Late Holocene history of Sefströmbreen in Ekmanfjorden, Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2025)There is limited documentation of complete surge cycles from Svalbard. Since the Little Ice Age, multiple surge-type glaciers in Svalbard have been undergoing continuous retreat. This has led to the formation of combined terrestrial and marine terminating margins, as well as newly exposed terrain, featuring glacial landforms such as crevasse-squeeze ridges, which are diagnostic landforms of surge-type ... -
User Interface for Nudges: Development of Nudge Patterns Library and Nudge Components Library
(Master thesis, 2025)This thesis explores how digital nudging can be systematically represented and implemented in user interfaces through design and development resources. Nudging refers to practice of subtly guiding individuals toward desired actions without restricting their freedom of choice. In digital contexts, it relies on user interface (UI) elements to influence behavior. Despite increasing interest, the practical ... -

By combining practical system ... -
Using Self-Supervised Learning To Improve Deep Learning-Based Analysis of 4D PET Imaging
(Master thesis, 2025)Dynamic positron emission tomography (dPET) imaging requires an accurate arterial input function (AIF) for quantitative analysis. However, traditional methods for AIF measurement require invasive blood sampling. Recent deep learning models can predict the AIF from the 4D PET data itself, eliminating the need for invasive blood sampling. However, their performance often degrades with limited amount ...
