Quantifying Formation Hardness and Pore Pressure using the Bourgoyne-Young Drilling Model
(Master thesis, 2019)Formasjonshardheten og poretrykket er to viktige faktorer som må grundig undersøkes under planleggingsfasen og under boreoperasjonene av en brønn. Begge er korrelert til bore-effektiviteten og har potensial til å påføre ... -
Quantifying global habitat loss impacts from roads in a LCA context.
(Master thesis, 2023)Roads are one of the major causes of biodiversity loss. It is estimated that millions of animals die annually due to vehicle collisions. Furthermore, roads can induce habitat fragmentation, pollution, disturbance, and ... -
Quantifying groundwater exploitation induced subsidence in the Rafsanjan Plain, southeastern Iran, using InSAR time-series and in situ measurements
(Journal article, 2017)Decades of groundwater overexploitation for agriculture and industrial development have resulted in substantial land subsidence in the Rafsanjan plain of southeastern Iran. This work presents the results of an InSAR time ... -
Quantifying Icebreaker Performance in Ice Management Operations by High-Fidelity Numerical Simulations
(Chapter, 2020)In the study presented in this paper, the problem of quantifying the performance of icebreaker operations within ice management (IM) has been targeted, using the capabilities of high-fidelity simulations by a discrete ... -
Quantifying Infiltration and Inflow in Data-Scarce Environments
(Master thesis, 2023)Avløpssystemer spiller en avgjørende rolle i å transportere avløpsvann bort fra befolkede områder og sikre viktige tjenester for verdens befolkning. Imidlertid utgjør den aldrende infrastrukturen og den begrensede kapasiteten ... -
Quantifying net water consumption of Norwegian hydropower reservoirs and related aquatic biodiversity impacts in Life Cycle Assessment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Compared to conventional energy technologies, hydropower has the lowest carbon emissions per kWh. Therefore, hydropower electricity production can contribute to combat climate change challenges. However, hydropower electricity ... -
Quantifying the climate response to extreme land cover changes in Europe with a regional model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Many future scenarios expect a key role for the land use sector to stabilize temperature rise to 2 °C or less. Changes in land cover can influence the climate system, and the extent and magnitude of the anthropogenic ... -
Quantifying the effects of feeder chimneys on trapping mechanisms at the Sleipner CO2 storage site
(Master thesis, 2020)CO2 lagring fra Sleipner Øst feltet i akviferen Utsira Fm har foregått siden 1996. CO2- akkumulasjonen overvåkes nøye for å forhindre lekkasje, dette har blant annet foregått ved flere gjentatte seismiske undersøkelser. ... -
Quantifying the Norwegian households' clothing system and its enviromental impacts for a transition towards a more circular economy
(Master thesis, 2021)Norway has the ambition to be at the forefront of the transition towards a Circular Economy. To achieve this the country needs to drastically increase its circularity metric, which in 2020 indicated that only 2.4% of the ... -
Quantifying the potential for consumer-oriented policy to reduce European and foreign carbon emissions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The EU Carbon-CAP project assembled a comprehensive portfolio of consumer initiatives in order to assess the potential total impact of consumer options on national carbon footprints. Existing evaluations of behavioural ... -
Quantifying vertical profiles of biochemical traits for forest plantation species using advanced remote sensing approaches
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Biochemical traits in forest vegetation are key indicators of leaf physiological processes, specifically photosynthetic and other photochemical light pathways, and are critical to the quantification of the terrestrial ... -
