The influence of grass roots on the shear strength of pyroclastic soils
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The paper investigates the effects of indigenous vegetation on the shear strength of loose pyroclastic soils of the Campania region (Southern Italy); these soils are frequently affected by shallow landslides 1-2m deep that ... -
The influence of land cover roughness on the results of high resolution tsunami inundation modeling
(Journal article, 2011)In this paper a local case study is presented in which detailed inundation simulations have been performed to support damage analysis and risk assessment related to the 2004 tsunami in Phang Nga and Phuket, Thailand. Besides ... -
The influence of permanently submerged macrophytes on sediment mercury distribution, mobility and methylation potential in a brackish Norwegian fjord
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Macrophytes are shown to affect the microbial activity in different aqueous environments, with an altering of the sediment cycling of mercury (Hg) as a potential effect. Here, we investigated how a meadow with permanently ... -

The mass flow and proposed management of bisphenol A in selected Norwegian waste streams
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Current initiatives for waste-handling in a circular economy favor prevention and recycling over incineration or landfilling. However, the impact of such a transition on environmental emissions of contaminants like bisphenol ... -

The NORMAN Suspect List Exchange (NORMAN-SLE): facilitating European and worldwide collaboration on suspect screening in high resolution mass spectrometry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background The NORMAN Association (https://www.norman-network.com/) initiated the NORMAN Suspect List Exchange (NORMAN-SLE; https://www.norman-network.com/nds/SLE/) in 2015, following the NORMAN collaborative trial on ... -
The partitioning of Sb in contaminated soils after being immobilization by Fe-based amendments is more dynamic compared to Pb
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Soils and sediments from shooting ranges can be heavily contaminated with metals and metalloids that can leach significant concentrations into the environment. To prevent trace element leaching, contaminated soils must be ... -

The potential of biochar in improving drainage, aeration and maize yields in heavy clay soils
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Heavy clay soils are globally widespread but their poor drainage and poor aeration limit their use for agriculture. This study was designed to test the effect of the amendment of biochar (BC) from woody shrubs on ... -
The presence, emission and partitioning behavior of polychlorinated biphenyls in waste, leachate and aerosols from Norwegian waste-handling facilities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Even though production and open use of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been phased out in Western industrialised countries since the 1980s, PCBs were still present in waste collected from different waste handling ... -
The Refne landslide, Halden, Norway: case history and use of risk assessment
(Chapter, 2016)In 2014, a landslide in a steep slope beneath an apartment block in Refne in the city of Halden, Norway led to the evacuation of over 60 residents from their homes. The landslide is assumed to have been triggered by unusually ... -
