Exploring the significance of the fluidized flow regime for avalanche hazard mapping.
(Journal article, 2008)Observational and experimental evidence suggests that it is important to explicitly account for the fluidized flow regime in avalanche hazard mapping due to its high mobility, intermediate density and high velocity. We ... -

Extreme precipitation induced landslide event on 30 July 2019 in Jølster, western Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)A torrential rain event struck western Norway on Tuesday 30 July 2019. Most severely affected was the Jølster community, where numerous landslides and floods damaged public infrastructure and private property. This resulted ... -
Extreme precipitation on dry ground in western Norway – characteristics of induced landslides call for adaptation of the Norwegian practice in landuse planning
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Following a particularly dry summer, a torrential rain event struck Western Norway on Tuesday 30 July 2019. The resulting floods and shallow landslides caused one fatality and severe damages to public and private infrastructure ... -

The eye in the sky: Avalanche mapping from space
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2016)The Seward Highway in Alaska has over one hundred avalanche paths spread out along a 150 km major transportation corridor, which traverses three different avalanche climatic regimes. This coupled with a small staff can ... -
Facilitating microplastic quantification through the introduction of a cellulose dissolution step prior to oxidation: Proof-of-concept and demonstration using diverse samples from the Inner Oslofjord, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Identifying and quantifying microplastic in marine samples can be facilitated by removing natural organic matter (NOM). Cellulosic material, like chitin, however, are a type of NOM that is resistant to chemical digestion, ... -
Factual report - Halden research site
(NGI-rapport;20160154-04-R Rev. 1, Report, 2020-01-06)Halden silt site is property of Halden municipality and it is known locally as Rødsparken. As part of the characterization of Halden silt site during NGTS project, two main reports are prepared: 1) a factual report ... -
Factual Report - Permafrost Research Site
(NGI-rapport;20160154-06-R, Report, 2020-01-01)Two benchmark sites are established near Longyearbyen, Svalbard (78°13’N, 15°28’E) for long-term geotechnical testing and evaluation of field investigation methods in perennially frozen soils (i.e. permafrost). These sites, ... -
Factual report - Øysand research site
(NGI-rapport;20160154-08-R, Report, 2020-01-15)As part of the characterization of Øysand Sand site during NGTS project, two main reports are prepared: 1) a factual report (20160154-08-R) and 2) an interpretation report (20160154-09-R) (see figure in the next page). The ... -
Fading positive effect of biochar on crop yield and soil acidity during five growth seasons in an Indonesian Ultisol
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Low fertility limits crop production on acidic soils dominating much of the humid tropics. Biochar may be used as a soil enhancer, but little consensus exists on its effect on crop yield. Here we use a controlled, replicated ... -
faSavageHutterFOAM 1.0: depth-integrated simulation of dense snow avalanches on natural terrain with OpenFOAM
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Numerical models for dense snow avalanches have become central to hazard zone mapping and mitigation. Several commercial and free applications, which are used on a regular basis, implement such models. In this study we ... -

Fatigue sensitivity to foundation modelling in different operational states for the DTU 10MW monopile-based offshore wind turbine
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The importance of foundation modelling for the support-structure fatigue damage estimation of a 10 MW monopile based offshore wind turbine is investigated in different operational states and wind-wave misalignment conditions. ... -
FE simulation of steady state wave motion in solids combined with a PML approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)This study presents a finite element (FE) framework for simulation of steady state wave motion, combined with a so-called PML approach. The steady state wave motion of current interest are not only time-harmonic load but ... -
