UKOOA phase II Task 3: Aerobic and anaerobic degradation of drill cuttings – results from small scale laboratory experiments
(Research report, 2001)The main goal of the small-scale biodegradation experiment series was to obtain biodegradation rates of THC in drill cuttings material, at conditions partly realistic for in situ drill cuttings accumulations. Both aerobic ... -
UKOOA Phase II Task 3: Simulated bioturbation of drill cuttings – results from small scale laboratory experiments
(Research report, 2001)Bioturbation can influence many of the characteristics of sediments, including their stability, microbial activity and degradation rates of contaminants. This study addresses the effects of mechanical disturbance, resembling ... -
UKOOA Phase II – Task 3 joint report on factors determining future pile characteristics
(Research report, 2001)The UKOOA Task 3 focuses on factors that may cause cuttings pile changes (e.g. pile size and composition) with time primarily due to natural processes. Task 3 has been organised in several sub-tasks that separately and ... -
UKOOA Task 3: Colonisation and macrofaunal activity in drill cuttings material – results from small scale laboratory experiments
(Research report, 2001)This report presents the results from a laboratory experiment addressing colonisation and bioturbation of drill cuttings material. The work forms a sub-task of Task 3 of the UKOOA Drill Cuttings JIP phase II Task 3 and has ... -
Uncovering Contributing Factors to Interruptions in the Power Grid: An Arctic Case
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Electric failures are a problem for customers and grid operators. Identifying causes and localizing the source of failures in the grid is critical. Here, we focus on a specific power grid in the Arctic region of Northern ... -
Underestimated Land Heat Uptake Alters the Global Energy Distribution in CMIP6 Climate Models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Current global warming results in an uptake of heat by the Earth system, which is distributed among the different components of the climate system. However, current-generation climate models deliver heat inventory and ... -
Underestimation of oceanic carbon uptake in the Arctic Ocean: ice melt as predictor of the sea ice carbon pump
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Arctic Ocean is generally undersaturated in CO2 and acts as a net sink of atmospheric CO2. This oceanic uptake is strongly modulated by sea ice, which can prevent air–sea gas exchange and has major impacts on stratification ... -
Underground hydrogen storage (UHS) in natural storage sites: A perspective of subsurface characterization and monitoring
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)With the long-standing efforts of green transition in our society, underground hydrogen storage (UHS) has emerged as a viable solution to buffering seasonal fluctuations of renewable energy supplies and demands. Like ... -
Underskudd i bosettingen av flyktninger En analyse av saksfremlegg og kommunale vedtak i Region Sør
(;3/2014, Research report, 2014)Agderforskning har på oppdrag fra IMDi Sør gjennomført undersøkelsen for å forklare forskjellen mellom IMDis anmodning og kommunestyrets vedtak når det gjelder bosetting av flyktninger. Fokus har vært på kommunale saksfremlegg ... -
Understanding bureaucratic support for coerced institutional change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Institutional reform processes can be contested. The more so by those working in the affected institutions. Bureaucracies, in particular, can be resistant to change. To better understand such processes, we study the regional ... -
Understanding Scale-Up of High-Current Electrodes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A simple and generic model for the heat distribution in electrodes for primary metal production has been investigated. The equations have been analyzed focusing on understanding the scale-up of electrodes under both direct ... -
Understanding support for European Protected Areas: A review of the literature and proposing a new approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Abstract: Protected Areas are the most widely applied policy tool for biodiversity conservation. In Europe, protected areas are expected to significantly increase as the new EU Biodiversity strategy sets an ambitious target ... -
Understanding the relationship between subjective health complaints and satisfaction with life for people in prevocational training in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background and aim: In Norway, a large part of the population is dependent on disability benefits. The main reasons for this are related to long-term musculoskeletal pain and psychological complaints. Prevocational ... -
