(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Large amounts of CO2 have to be captured, transported, injected and safely stored in the subsurface in order to counteract increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations due to steadily high consumption of energy from fossil ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Sorted soil circles are a form of periglacial patterned ground that is commonly noted for its striking geometric regularity. They consist of an inner fine domain bordered by gravel rings that rise some decimetres above the ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Ozone and methane are chemically active climate-forcing agents affected by climate–chemistry interactions in the atmosphere. Key chemical reactions and processes affecting ozone and methane are presented. It is shown that ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
The Secchi depth and its relationships to other properties of the sea water in the Oslofjord–Skagerrak area have been investigated. White and black disks of different sizes have been applied, and the Secchi depth has been ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
A supersaturated fluid flowing over a reactive, rough surface leads to complex precipitation patterns. We study the growth and interaction between discrete precipitates along a reactive wall in a nonlaminar channel flow. ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
The internal response in a stratified, partially enclosed basin subject to semi-diurnal tidal forcing through a narrow entrance is investigated. The site is located above the critical latitude where linear internal waves ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
The climatic effects of climate engineering—or geoengineering—via cirrus cloud thinning are examined. Thinner cirrus clouds can allow more outgoing longwave radiation to escape to space, potentially cooling the climate. ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Understanding of fluid-mixture properties relevant to the Longyearbyen CO2 Lab pilot project (LYBCO2) is of great importance for the assessment of the injection performance. Phase equilibria and density of the binary, ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
In permafrost environments exposed to strong winds, drifting snow can create a small-scale pattern of strongly variable snow heights, which has profound implications for the thermal regime of the ground. Arrays of 26 to ...

Background
Global environmental change is causing spatial and temporal shifts in the distribution of species and the associated diseases of humans, domesticated animals and wildlife. In the on-going debate ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Kronebreen and Kongsbreen are among the fastest-flowing glaciers on Svalbard and, therefore, important contributors to the total dynamic mass loss from the archipelago. Here, we present a time series of area-wide surface ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
In this study, we assess glacier area and length changes in mainland Norway from repeat Landsat TM/ETM+-derived inventories and digitized topographic maps. The multi-temporal glacier inventory consists of glacier outlines ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
We address the spatial and temporal development during the Triassic to Middle Jurassic of the NW Barents Shelf in order to provide a regional framework for the targeted reservoir of the Longyearbyen CO2 Lab. The reservoir ...
U–Pb age and Lu–Hf signatures of detrital zircon from Palaeozoic sandstones in the Oslo Rift, Norway
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
U–Pb and Lu–Hf isotope analyses of detrital zircon from the latest Ordovician (Hirnantian) Langøyene Formation, the Late Silurian Ringerike Group and the Late Carboniferous Asker Group in the Oslo Rift were obtained by ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Glacierised catchments show a discharge regime that is strongly influenced by snow and glacier meltwaters. In this study, we modelled the mass balance and discharge rates for three highly glacierised catchments (>50% glacier ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
In numerous studies, midlatitude storm tracks have been shown to shift poleward under global warming scenarios. Among the possible causes, changes in sea surface temperature (SST) have been shown to affect both the intensity ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Southern Africa was part of Gondwanaland until the Mesozoic, when this supercontinent broke up into fragments that evolved into today’s southern continents. In particular, around 140 Ma, rifting started between southern ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
We analyze simulated sea ice changes in eight different Earth System Models that have conducted experiment G1 of the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP). The simulated response of balancing abrupt quadrupling ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
The effective radiative forcings (including rapid adjustments) and feedbacks associated with an instantaneous quadrupling of the preindustrial CO2 concentration and a counterbalancing reduction of the solar constant are ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Climate model studies of the consequences of solar geoengineering are central to evaluating whether such approaches may help to reduce the harmful impacts of global warming. In this study we compare the sunshade solar ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Global-scale solar geoengineering is the deliberate modification of the climate system to offset some amount of anthropogenic climate change by reducing the amount of incident solar radiation at the surface. These changes ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Temperature and precipitation extremes are examined in the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project experiment G1, wherein an instantaneous quadrupling of CO2 from its preindustrial control value is offset by a ...
