The 8200-year BP cooling event is reconstructed in part from sediments in the Norwegian and North Seas. Here we show that these sediments have been reworked by the Storegga tsunami – dated to the coldest decades of the 8.2 ka event. We simulate the maximum tsunami flow velocity to be 2–5 m/s on the shelf offshore western Norway and in the shallower North Sea, and up to about 1 m/s down to a water ...

Nordisk Vulkanologisk Institut, senare känt som Nordisk Vulkanologisk Center (NordVulk) på Island fyller 50 år 2024. Tyvärr sammanfaller jubileet med att NordVulk upphör i sin nuvarande form och en lång och framgångsrik era med nordisk vulkanologisk forskning på Island tar slut. Här berättar vi lite om NordVulks historia och bifogar några korta anekdoter från livet där.

The present study examines grammatical gender knowledge in offline production (gender marking on indefinite articles) and online gender processing (visual world paradigm) in adult second language (L2) learners of Norwegian with three different first languages (L1s): Greek, Russian, and Turkish. In particular, it investigates the role of the following factors: (1) presence vs. absence of grammatical ...

We report a new species of shearwater, Ardenna buchananbrowni sp. nov., from the Pliocene of New Zealand. It is both the smallest and oldest known diving member of the genus, demonstrating that this now abundant form of shearwater has had a long presence in southern oceans. Ardenna buchananbrowni sp. nov. is among the few extinct shearwaters described from the Southern Hemisphere and adds to an ...

In this study, we drew on Barbara Adam's (1998) timescape perspective and applied a timescape lens to our analysis of how nine older adults who live alone, receive home care and are considered by home care professionals to be frail, experience living (in) time. Over a period of eight months, we conducted three interviews with each of the nine participants. We analysed the data using reflexive thematic ...

Spekkhoggere og knølhval i norske farvann følger den pelagiske fiskeflåten og beiter på fisken som blir samlet sammen av nøtene. Disse interaksjonene har ved flere anledninger ført til skade eller død av hval, og fangsttap og ødelagte redskap for fiskerne. Målsetningen i dette prosjektet var å kartlegge og teste utstyr og metoder som kan bidra til å redusere uønskede interaksjoner mellom spekkhoggere ...

This workshop summary on natural language processing (NLP) markers for psychosis and other psychiatric disorders presents some of the clinical and research issues that NLP markers might address and some of the activities needed to move in that direction. We propose that the optimal development of NLP markers would occur in the context of research efforts to map out the underlying mechanisms of ...

This paper explores the legal framework brought forward by the Equitable and Reasonable Utilization Principle (ERUP) over transboundary waters and questions its relevance to the establishment of agreements between riparian States that are resilient to climate change and its related upcoming challenges. By investigating major legal texts in international water law, this thesis describes the content ...

There does not exist any established legal framework nor any comprehensive treaty regulating offshore activities in the Arctic, although they are being developed at an exponentially increasing rate. Offshore energy projects have a direct impact on Arctic marine biodiversity. In order to lower this impact, human activities in this sector must be regulated. There cannot be a choice between protecting ...

European Union is an incontestable leader in environmental matters. Its climate change framework includes high ambitious with ramifications beyond purely environmental concerns. The increasing concerns regarding the greenhouse gases emissions, led the European Union to strengthen the policies of the most impactful sector, namely the energy sector. The Energy industry became the reason for climate, ...
