Study on the practices for preconsolidation stress evaluation from oedometer tests
(Chapter, 2016)The preconsolidation stress (pc') is determined from high-quality oedometer test results by a variety of interpretation methods. Sample quality in the database varies from very excellent to fair (i.e. class 1-2). Results ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Suction caissons in dense sand, Part I: Installation, limiting capacity and drainage
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Suction caissons are a promising foundation concept for supporting offshore wind turbines. Compared to applications in the oil and gas industry, where most practical experience exists, significant differences arise in terms ... -
Suction caissons in dense sand, Part II: Vertical cyclic loading into tension
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Suction caissons have been used for numerous oil and gas installations and are increasingly considered as a foundation solution for offshore wind turbines (OWT). There can be significant differences between the two offshore ... -
Summary of the 1st International Workshop 23 – 24 November 2016
(NGI-rapport;20160154-15-R, Report, 2017-01-23)NGI and its partners, NTNU, SINTEF, UNIS and the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA), have received funding from The Research Council of Norway (RCN) to develop a new Norwegian GeoTest sites research infrastructure. ... -
Surface hoar characteristics derived from a snow micropenetrometer using moving window statistical operations
(Journal article, 2007)This study aims to improve analytical techniques for studying stratigraphic dimensions and hardness characteristics of thin weak layers in the mountain snowpack, with particular interest to buried surface hoar layers. By ... -
Surface mass balance and stable oxygen isotope ratios from shallow firn cores on Fimbulisen, East Antarctica

A survey of snow avalanche accidents in Norway.
(Norwegian Geotechnical Institute;203, Chapter, 1998)Available historical data relating to snow avalanche accidents in Norway have been examined, ranging from the 17th century to present. A near continuous record of avalanche deaths from 1855 is documented. From 1946, the ... -
Surveying Perception of Landslide Risk Management Performance, a Case Study in Norway
(Chapter, 2017)The effectiveness of landslide risk management should be assessed to optimize the implementation of landslide risk mitigation measures. The Risk Management Index (RMI) of Cardona et al. (Disaster risk and risk management ... -
Sustainable impermeable landfill barriers: The potential of using geological waste and surplus masses
(Lecture, 2023)This study investigated the potential to reuse excavated cement stabilised clay (CSC) and press filter residual (PFR) as impermeable landfill barriers. First, laboratory experiments including particle size distribution, ... -
The Svalbard fatal accident 19th December 2015 - Assisting local authorities in the acute phase
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2016)The Svalbard fatal avalanche caused massive destruction when it hit part of the village Longyearbyen Saturday morning at the start of the Christmas holiday. The avalanche released after a furious storm and killed to persons, ... -
A synoptic climatology of major avalanche winters in Norway
(Journal article, 1986)A near continuous record of avalanche deaths in Norway is compiled for 130 years from 1855, and shows a distinct downward trend, but large variations from winter to winter, with a periodicity of 12–13 years. Twelve major ... -
Sørpeskred - like destruktive som snøskred, men lite kjent
(Chapter, 1999)Sørpeskred - hurtigflytende masser av snø og vann - forårsaker hvert år store skader i Norge. En oversikt over Norges Geotekniske Institutt sin kunnskap om sørpekred, tilegnet gjennom 25 år med forskning og konsulentarbeid, ... -
Sørpeskred. Egenskaper, historikk og sikringsløsninger
(Klima 2050;38, Report, 2022)Sørpeskred er en skredtype som gjør stor skade på infrastruktur og bebyggelse, men som er forsket på og dokumentert i mye mindre omfang enn for eksempel snøskred og flomskred. Sørpeskred oppstår når snødekket mettes med ... -
Temperature gradient metamorphism and its relation with the avalanche release
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)In winter there is a considerable amount of solid precipitation in the western part of Himalayas. Avalanche frequently occur here, and often endanger national economic construction and human life. Observations show that ... -
The temporal and spatial variation of snow pressure on structures
(Journal article, 1985)Measurements of snow creep pressure on an avalanche-defence structure in western Norway are presented. Two different types of measurement methods are described and evaluated. Pressure data from four winters are correlated ... -
Temporal changes in the spatial variability of shear strength and stability.
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2006)Avalanche forecasting involves the prediction of spatial and temporal variability of the snowpack. To predict avalanches with more accuracy it is important to determine whether the snowpack is becoming more spatially ... -
Temporal evolution of flow-like landslide hazard for a road infrastructure in the municipality of Nocera Inferiore (southern Italy) under the effect of climate change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)In recent years, flow-like landslides have extensively affected pyroclastic covers in the Campania region in southern Italy, causing human suffering and conspicuous economic damages. Due to the high criticality of the area, ... -
Testing Tsunami Inundation Maps for Evacuation Planning in Italy
