Assessing the potential for gas supersaturation downstream of hydropower plants in Norway, Austria and Germany
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Hydroelectric power facilities can generate episodic total dissolved gas supersaturation (TDGS), which is harmful to aquatic life. We developed a decision tree-based risk assessment to identify the potential for TDGS at ... -
Climate-driven QMRA model for selected water supply systems in Norway accounting for raw water sources and treatment processes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Formulating effective management intervention measures for water supply systems requires investigation of potential long-term impacts. This study applies an integrated multiple regression, random forest regression, and ... -
Comparative predictive modelling of the occurrence of faecal indicator bacteria in a drinking water source in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Presently, concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) in raw water sources are not known before water undergoes treatment, since analysis takes approximately 24 h to produce results. Using data on water quality and ... -
Considering habitat conversion and fragmentation in characterisation factors for land-use impacts on vertebrate species richness
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Human land use is one of the primary threats to terrestrial species richness and is considered a priority for meeting global sustainability and biodiversity targets. Decision-support tools, such as life cycle assessment ... -
Covariation amongst pool management, trichloramine exposure and asthma for swimmers in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The association between asthma and exposure to the air in swimming facilities has been acknowledged. However, the variation in, long-term exposure to and management of the respiratory irritant trichloramine (NCl3) is not ... -
Development of a Model for Radon Concentration in Indoor Air
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)A model is developed for calculation of the radon concentration in indoor air. The model takes into account various important parameters, e.g. radon concentration in ground, radon diffusion resistance of radon barrier, air ... -
The environmental impact of rock support for road tunnels: The experience of Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Despite the high levels of investment in the construction of underground space, there has been relatively little research so far on the environmental impact of tunnelling and rock support. In an attempt to fill this gap, ... -
Generating environmental sampling and testing data for micro- and nanoplastics for use in life cycle impact assessment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Ongoing efforts focus on quantifying plastic pollution and describing and estimating the related magnitude of exposure and impacts on human and environmental health. Data gathered during such work usually follows a receptor ... -
Hydrological and thermal effects of hydropeaking on early life stages of salmonids: A modelling approach for implementing mitigation strategies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Alterations in hydrological and thermal regimes can potentially affect salmonid early life stages development and survival. The dewatering of salmon spawning redds due to hydropeaking can lead to mortality in early life ... -
Influence of grain size, organic carbon and organic matter residue content on the sorption of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in aqueous film forming foam contaminated soils - Implications for remediation using soil washing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A soil that was historically contaminated with Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) was dry sieved into size fractions representative of those produced during soil washing. Batch sorption tests were then conducted to investigate ... -
Life cycle assessment of roads: Exploring research trends and harmonization challenges
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The transparency, heterogeneity and hypotheses considered in the calculation of the environmental impacts of roads are still barriers to the identification of low-carbon solutions. To overcome this problem, this study ... -
Modelling climate change effects on Atlantic salmon: Implications for mitigation in regulated rivers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Climate change is expected to alter future temperature and discharge regimes of rivers. These regimes have a strong influence on the life history of most aquatic river species, and are key variables controlling the growth ... -
Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method for assessing the sustainability of end-of-life alternatives for waste plastics: A case study of Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Plastic, and its pollution of marineecosystems, has emerged as a global concern. Among the several other sources,plastics from a bandoned,lost,or discardedfishing gears(ALDFG), and ropes are considered the most dangerous ... -
A salty start: Brackish water start-up as a microbial management strategy for nitrifying bioreactors with variable salinity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Nitrifying biofilms developed in brackish water are reported to be more robust to salinity changes than freshwater biofilms. This makes them a promising strategy for water treatment systems with variable salinity, such as ... -
Understanding the hydrological performance of green and grey roofs during winter in cold climate regions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Green and grey roofs have emerged as promising and sustainable measures for effectively managing stormwater in urban catchments. However, there is a gap in the literature in understanding and modelling the hydrological ... -
Upgrading protected areas can improve or reverse the decline in conservation effectiveness: Evidence from the Tibetan Plateau, China
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Protected areas (PAs) are considered essential for maintaining biodiversity. Several governments would like to strengthen the management levels of their PAs (as shorthand for a hierarchy in PA administrative governance) ...
