Tsunami generation by potential, partially submerged rockslides in an abandoned open-pit mine: The case of Black Lake, Québec, Canada
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)The Black Lake rockslide is located on the east wall of an open pit mine initially operated by LAB Chrysotile near Thetford Mines, Québec. Movements were observed in July 2012 when a volume of 20 M m³ was mobilized, ... -
Tsunami risk communication and management: Contemporary gaps and challenges

Twenty-five years of snow and avalanche research at NGI: Geotechnique contributions.
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)In this paper, I wish to review the far reaching contributions from snow and avalanche research at NG! over the last 25 years. My review is based on my own association with the research at NGI (24 years) as well as the ... -
Ultimate Limit States of Foundation on Random Unsaturated Soils
(Chapter, 2019)This paper investigates stochastically the case of a shallow foundation resting on unsaturated heterogeneous soil under rainfall infiltration. Porosity is assumed to vary spatially while other soil parameters are constant. ... -

Undersøkelser av kjemisk utlekking og biota på testfelt på sjøbunnen i Grenlandsfjordene 2018-2019
(NIVA-rapport, Research report, 2019)Denne rapporten beskriver overvåking av spredning og biotilgjengelighet av dioksiner (PCDD/F), heksaklorbenzen (HCB) og oktaklorstyren (OCS) i de ni årene fra etablering av testfelt for tynnsjikt-tildekking i Grenlandsfjordene ... -
Undrained Shear Strength of Overconsolidated Clay
(NGI Publication;209, Chapter, 2022)It has been known for a long time now that in soft and sensitive clays undrained failure occurs apparently before the full friction angle has been mobilized. The main object of this paper is to clarify the importance of ... -
The upgraded full-scale avalanche test-site Ryggfonn, Norway.
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2010)Measurements of full-scale avalanches are expensive and time consuming, but are indispensable to gain in-depth understanding of the flow behavior of avalanches. They are needed to crosscheck the scaling used in small-scale ... -
Urban stormwater capture for water supply: look out for persistent, mobile and toxic substances

The use of a numerical snow-drift model as a decision making tool in the planning of avalanche protection measures.
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2002)Blowing and' drifting snow is not only a major factor in the assessment of the acute avalanche danger, its contribution to the snow distribution also influences land-use planning. In many parts of alpine terrain end an ... -
Use of a Pre-Drilled Hole for Implementing Thermal Needle Probe Method for Soils and Rocks
(Journal article, 2016)The thermal needle probe method, which is widely used for measuring the thermal conductivity λ of soils, deploys a long and thin metallic probe that houses a line heater and a temperature sensor. However, inserting such ... -
The use of commercial cad software in snow avalanche run-out estimation
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2012)Linear infrastructures like highways and transmission lines often pass avalanche terrain both in remote and urban areas. In some cases these areas are quite wide, measured along the lines, and the number of avalanche paths ... -
Use of Daisybell and Snow Profiles to Investigate the Effect of Alpine Birch on Avalanche Release
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2014)Through a field study in Abisko, northern Sweden, we have used the artificial avalanche release system DaisyBell together with snow profiles to study the effect of alpine birch forest on avalanche formation. Evergreen ... -

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 ...
