Emerging insights into the dynamics of submarine debris flows
(Journal article, 2005)Recent experimental and theoretical work on the dynamics of submarine debris flows is summarized. Hydroplaning was first discovered in laboratory flows and later shown to likely occur in natural debris flows as well. It ... -
Earthquake related tsunami hazard along the western coast of Thailand
(Journal article, 2006)The primary background for the present study was a project to assist the authorities in Thailand with development of plans for how to deal with the future tsunami risk in both short and long term perspectives, in the wake ... -
Biologiske prosesser i sedimenter – en litteraturstudie
(Bioforsk Rapport, Research report, 2006)På bakgrunn av St. meld. nr. 12 ”Rent og rikt hav”, hvor forurensede sedimenter i kyst og fjordområder fikk stor oppmerksomhet, er det nå planlagt en rekke tiltak langs norskekysten. Enkelte av tiltakene innebærer at ... -
Using geophysics on a terminal moraine damming a glacial lake: the Flatbre debris flow case,Western Norway
(Journal article, 2008)A debris flow occurred on 8 May 2004, in Fjǽrland, Western Norway, due to a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood and a natural terminal moraine failure. The site was investigated in 2004 and 2005, using pre- and post-flow aerial ... -
Integrated database for rapid mass movements in Norway
(Journal article, 2009)Rapid gravitational slope mass movements include all kinds of short term relocation of geological material, snow or ice. Traditionally, information about such events is collected separately in different databases covering ... -
A GIS method for assessment of rock slide tsunami hazard in Norwegian lakes and reservoirs
(Journal article, 2009)An evaluation of rock slide tsunami hazard is applied to all Norwegian lakes larger than 0.1 km2 based on their topographical setting. The analysis results in a topographic rock slide potential score that indicates the ... -
A field laboratory for monitoring CO2 leakage
(Journal article, 2009)The long-term safety of future CO2 storage projects in aquifers will not only rely on a comprehensive geological characterisation of the formation and capillary seal, but also on the ability to effectively monitor the ... -
Experimental percolation of supercritical CO2 through a caprock
(Journal article, 2009)Leakage of CO2 into the atmosphere is the most crucial concern for geological storage of anthropogenic CO2. Leakage routes could develop through existing wells and pipelines, but also by natural migration of CO2 rich ... -
From Ecological Risk Assessments to Risk Governance. Evaluation of the Norwegian Management System for Contaminated Sediments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010)Managing of contaminated sediments is a complex process that will naturally have to balance scientific, political, and economic interests. This study evaluates the Norwegian system for managing contaminated sediments toward ... -
Coupling of dispersive tsunami propagation and shallow water coastal response
(Journal article, 2010)The key issue of this article is the concept of combining a model dedicated to dispersive large scale propagation of tsunamis with ComMIT, developed and made freely available by NOAA, that is a state of the art tool for ... -
Submarine landslides and the importance of the initial sediment composition for run-out length and final deposit
(Journal article, 2010)Much remains to understand the dynamic processes during the flow of submarine landslides. A first relevant problem is to explain the extraordinary mobility of submarine landslides, which has no comparison in subaerial mass ... -
Evaluation of factors affecting stakeholder risk perception of contaminated sediment disposal in Oslo harbour
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011)The management of environmental pollution has changed considerably since the growth of environmental awareness in the late 1960s. The general increased environmental concern and involvement of stakeholders in today's ... -
Use of Multi-Criteria Involvement Processes to Enhance Transparency and Stakeholder Participation at Bergen Harbour, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011)Use of participatory stakeholder engagement processes could be important to reduce the risk of potential conflicts in managing contaminated sites. Most stakeholder engagement techniques are qualitative in nature and require ... -
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 ... -
A metagenomic study of methanotrophic microorganisms in Coal Oil Point seep sediments
(Journal article, 2011) -
Influence of CO2 on rock physics properties in typical reservoir rock: A CO2 flooding experiment of brine saturated sandstone in a CT-scanner
(Journal article, 2011)Laboratory core flooding experiment was run to investigate the joint use of electrical resistivity, ultrasonic velocities and 3D images of fluid distribution to improve current understanding of CO2 and brine behaviour ... -
SUCCESS: SUbsurface CO2 storage–Critical elements and superior strategy
(Journal article, 2011)SUCCESS is a Center for Environmental Energy Research in Norway and performs research related to geological storage of CO2 in the subsurface. The SUCCESS centre is established by the Research Council of Norway together ... -
National database for mitigative measures against rapid gravity mass flows and rock falls
(Lecture, 2012)Mitigation measures against natural catastrophes, such as rapid gravity mass flows and rock falls, have been built in Norway for centuries. Over the last few decades the number of new constructions has been increasing due ...
