Are Asian fresh and brackish water aquaculture production vulnerable or resilient towards climate change impacts?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-18)This study analyzes fresh and brackish water aquacultures—especially carp, tilapia, and shrimp production—in major Asian aquaculture-producing countries.

Moving psychological assessment out of the controlled laboratory setting: Practical challenges
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03)Behavioral assessment using smart devices affords novel methods, notably remote self-administration by the individuals themselves. However, this new approach requires navigating complex legal and technical terrain. Given the limited empirical data that currently exists, we provide and discuss anecdotes of the methodological, technical, legal, and cultural issues associated with an implementation in ... -
Postglacial paleoceanography of the western Barents Sea: Implications for alkenone-based sea surface temperatures and primary productivity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-11)The increasing influence of Atlantic Water (AW) in the Barents Sea, a process known as “Atlantification”, is gradually decreasing sea ice cover in the region. Ongoing global climate warming is likely to be one of its drivers, but to further understand the role of natural variability and the biogeochemical impacts of the inflow of AW into the western Barents Sea, we reconstructed sea surface temperatures ... -
Solar illumination dependence of the auroral electrojet intensity: Interplay between the solar zenith angle and dipole tilt
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-18)The present study investigates the dependence of the local auroral electrojet (AEJ) intensity on solar illumination by statistically examining northward geomagnetic disturbances in the auroral zone in terms of the solar zenith angle χ. It is found that on the dayside, both westward and eastward electrojets (WEJ and EEJ) are more intense for smaller χ, suggesting that the solar extreme ultraviolet‐induced ... -
