    • Ice-albedo tipping points in a diffusive energy-balance model with land and ocean 

      Hilbertsen, Kristian Bergum (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-01-20)
      The ice-albedo feedback is associated with the nonlinearity in the climate system, due to the sudden change in albedo between ice-free and ice-covered surfaces. This nonlinearity can potentially cause abrupt and dramatic shifts in the climate, referred to as tipping points. It is also believed that this mechanism has contributed significantly to the precipitous losses of Arctic sea ice, which have ...
    • On the phantom-like appearance of bilingualism effects on neurocognition: (How) should we proceed? 

      Leivada, Evelina; Westergaard, Marit; Dunabeitia Landaburu, Jon Andoni; Rothman, Jason (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-22)
      Numerous studies have argued that bilingualism has effects on cognitive functions. Recently, in light of increasingly mixed empirical results, this claim has been challenged. One might ponder if there is enough evidence to justify a cessation to future research on the topic or, alternatively, how the field could proceed to better understand the phantom-like appearance of bilingual effects. Herein, ...
