Rainfall induced landslides is one of the most common natural hazard worldwide. Intensive rainfall and rapid snow melting caused the two landslides in Jordalsdalen in Fjærland in Western Norway.
Debris flow is a global ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2007)
Clouds cover about 70% of the earth. In 1983 the world first satellite program, called International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP), was established. ISCCP use geostationary and polar orbiting satellites to ...

Abstract
This study uses multispectral Landsat satellite imagery and a high resolution Digital Elevation Model based on 1990/95 aerial stereoimagery (Norwegian Polar Institute) to map moraines and glacier terminus positions ...
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2007)
Rifting of the Paleozoic Gondwana supercontinent during Mesozoic time ended eventually with the breakup of Africa and South America, leading to passive margin formation and to the creation of the South Atlantic Ocean (e.g. ...
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2007)
TBT has been widely used for decades as the dominant composition of antifouling paints. The toxicity of TBT on aquatic life is very serious and many studies have shown that TBT can be lethal to aquatic organisms at quite ...

Abstract
On a sunny, cloudless day we often recognize condensation trails (contrails) behind jet aircrafts as narrow, white stripes. Contrails form as a mixture of warm, humid exhaust gases and colder, drier air exceeds ...

1 Abstract
A control run of 150 years for CCSM2 has been performed at the Norwegian
Meteorological Institute. In this run the external forcing(especially
radiation) were held constant, CO2 were held at the level of 1990. ...
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2007)
Digital terrain modeling has revolutionized the way topography is characterized and analyzed. Its applicability has widened to almost anything where topography has a role to play. On the other hand, digital soil mapping ...

Oppgaven ser på muligheten for å benytte eldre flybilder med varierende kvalitet og temporal oppløsning for å detektere signifikant overflatedeformasjon i fjellsiden Torfastaðamelar, Hlíðarfjöll på Øst Island. Ved bruk av ...
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2007)
Diatom analyses were carried out on two sediment cores, one from the North Labrador Sea and one from Davis Strait, West Greenland, in order to investigate Holocene climatic variability in relation to ocean circulation. ...
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2007)
In this study of the Central Spitsbergen Palaeogene, depositional environments and transgressive-regressive developments of the Frysjaodden and Hollendardalen formations have been reconstructed with combined evidence from ...
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2007)
This study comprises a geological reservoir characterization of paralic sandstone deposits with a case study of the Upper Jurassic Louriñha Formation in the Lusitanian Basin, which is an Atlantic rift basin located in ...
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2007)
Change in glacier extent is a good indication of climate change. Inventories for glaciated areas should therefore be made at certain intervals. For New Zealand a digitized glacial inventory including both the two main ...
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2007)
The risk associated with exposure to contaminants, has drawn attention to the fate and transport of contaminants in marine sediments. Remediation of contaminated marine sediment has been necessary at several locations to ...
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2007)
Abstract
Mineralogical and chemical analysis of alum shale and black shale samples were done using the XRD, XRF, sulfur chemical analysis, petrographic and scanning electron microscopy. Samples from two study areas in the ...
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2007)
In October 2005, massive slope failures were triggered all around Guatemala by the heavy rainfall that accompanied Hurricane Stan and unchained a series of landslides, debris flows and lahars. Two communities called Panabaj ...

ABSTRACT
Borehole geophysical logging is viable method of determining the water quality and hydrogeological parameters of aquifers. A recent study was conducted to delineate the distribution of formation water salinity ...
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2007)
Studies have demonstrated that hydrophobic organic compounds (HOC) show strong sorption to black carbon (BC). Therefore presence of BC in HOC contaminated sediment reduces the in situ freely dissolved aqueous concentration ...

The Lusitanian Basin in Portugal is an Atlantic margin rift basin on the western side of the Iberian plate positioned north of Lisbon. The basin contains, among several other formations, the Upper Jurassic Louriñha Formation ...
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2007)
Late Ordovician-Early Silurian magmatism, probably in a continental arc setting, was responsible for the generation of the Hurry Inlet Granite batholith of Liverpool Land, East Greenland. The emplacement of this batholith ...
