Evaluering av optimal erstatning av naturlig tilslag med resirkulert betongtilslag for å oppnå tilstrekkelig bestandighet
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-06-22)Bygg- og anleggsindustrien er en stor bidragsyter til global oppvarming grunnet produksjon av bygningsmateriale, transport samt bygnings- og rivningsaktivitet. Materialets kretsløp og sirkulær økonomi kan drastisk redusere forurensning og etterspørselen av naturlige ressurser. Bruk av resirkulert tilslag (RCA) er en av mulighetene til hvordan en kan redusere forbruket av naturlige ressurser for ... -
Modelling potential fluctuations due to filaments in the SOL
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2024-06-01)The filtered Poisson process are often used in analysing the fluctuations in the scrape-off layer. This thesis investigates how the FPP-model represents both the ion saturation current, Jsat and the velocity signals. The signals are simulated using blobmodel [1], with different degree of overlap, for K = 103, K = 104 and K = 105, different amplitudes, set to constant or exponentially distributed, and ... -
Seasonal changes of intertidal benthic microalgae photoacclimation during the summer to mid-winter transition period on Tromsøya
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2024-05-15)The microphytobenthos (MPB), defined as the microscopic photosynthesizers inhabiting sediments in marine and estuarine environments, are a vital component to intertidal ecosystems. They contribute greatly to ecosystem services in many ways and are responsible for a high amount of primary productivity in their environments. Microphytobenthic abundance and community structure studies have been increasing ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2024-05-15)Priapulus caudatus is a marine worm in the phylum Priapulida, commonly known as penis worms. Since it was discovered, P. caudatus has had many names that are now considered synonyms. Fossils of Priapulida from the Cambrian period are found all over the world, and extant species show that there have been little changes in their morphology since the Palaeozoic. P. caudatus are found in clay/muddy ... -
Ageing and growth of the Arctic brittle star Ophiopleura borealis (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea) from the Barents Sea and North East Greenland
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2024-05-15)Species inhabiting cold-water environments exhibit typically slower growth and a longer lifespan than warm-water species, implying a slowed ability to recover from natural and anthropogenic disturbances. Longevity estimates for species inhabiting the Arctic region are sparse, despite the ongoing changes and disturbances in the region. Brittle stars (Ophiuroidea) often dominate Arctic shelf ... -
Climate-driven redistribution of fish and reconfiguration of coastal food webs in Northern Norway
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2024-05-14)Rapid climate change at northern latitudes induces poleward redistributions of fish leading to reconfigurations in biodiversity and food webs. This thesis aims to broaden our understanding of the climate-driven biogeographical alterations in fish and the subsequent reorganization of food webs along the coast of Northern Norway. Documenting and understanding the ongoing, rapid ecological change in ... -
The impact of diet on egg, sperm, and larval quality in a spotted wolffish (Anarhichas minor, Olafsen 1772) broodstock
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2024-05-14)The spotted wolffish (Anarhichas minor, Olafsen 1772) has been considered as a highly attractive candidate for aquaculture since the 1990s. Low survival throughout the earliest life stages is, however, restraining the industry from reaching stable commercial levels. Broodstock diet is identified as a key factor for gamete quality. No species-specific broodstock diet has yet been developed for the ... -
“This Land was Your Land” Indigenous Engagement and Partnership in the Canadian Outdoor Recreational Landscape
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2024-06-03)Recreating outdoors is something that many people in Canada enjoy doing and often do so in National Parks or nature close to their homes, which Canada has an abundance of. However, recreation is a heavily colonized field that often excludes Indigenous people, who have been using the same land for numerous years. This thesis focuses on bringing Indigeneity back into the outdoor recreational landscape ... -
