Fluid‐Rock Interactions in Clay‐Rich Seals: Impact on Transport and Mechanical Properties
(Chapter, 2018)Fluid‐rock interaction in low‐permeable clay‐rich seal units is an important topic for the evaluation of the long‐term seal integrity during geological storage of CO2. In low‐permeable sealing units, the diffusion of CO2 ... -
Fonnbu, a new (old) platform for snow and avalanche research.
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2008)One of the first tasks of the newly established avalanche group at the NGI in 1973 was the selection of a suitable location for an avalanche research station. The choice was on Grasdalen, north of the Jotunheimen mountains, ... -
Forcasting snow avalanche days from meteorological data using classification trees; Grasdalen, Western Norway
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2006)Avalanches pose one of the most serious problems to infrastructure and people in the mountains in Norway. Processes leading to avalanche release are deterministic but the time and place of avalanche release is notoriously ... -
Forecast of avalanche danger for the intracontinental regions of Northeast of Eurasia
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)The research area includes the Kolyma riverhead with tributaries. For this territory the extreme continental climate with very frost winters is common. The duration of snow cover is 200-230 days. The domination of low ... -

Forecasting the fatal Longyearbyen avalanche. Possibilities and challenges
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2016)One of the main questions after the fatal avalanche in Longyearbyen in December 2015, where two persons perished and eleven houses were destroyed, was whether an active avalanche warning system would have identified the ... -
Fragility Assessment of Transportation Infrastructure Systems Subjected to Earthquakes
(Chapter, 2018)This paper provides a review of the different methodologies for the fragility assessment of critical transportation infrastructure subjected to earthquake excitations with emphasis placed on geotechnical effects. Available ... -
Full-flow CPT tests in a nearshore organic clay

The general structure analysis of avalanche (mudflow) risk assessment
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)The basic structure of risk assessment is studied. The general form of the assessment formula consists of three components - temporal, spatial and anthropogenic ones. The role and contribution of these components are ... -
Generalized Geertsma Solution for Isotropic Layered Medium

Geomechanical and Seismic Behaviors of Draupne Shale: A Case Study from the Central North Sea
(Chapter, 2019)Organic-rich shales exhibit a variation in shear strength and anisotropic behavior of seismic wave propagation when the direction of the plane of weakness is varied with respect to the direction of the principal stresses. ... -
Geomorphologic and geobotanical features of slushflows (Khibiny mountains instance)
(NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)The research area includes the Kolyma riverhead with tributaries. For this territory the extreme continental climate with very frost winters is common. The duration of snow cover is 200-230 days. The domination of low ... -
Geophysical risk: tsunami

GeoSuite Assistance for the Calculation of Settlement
(Chapter, 2016)As part of the development of the Norwegian-Swedish software GeoSuite, a module with geoassistance was developed and implemented. The paper describes this user-assistance, called "Wizard", helping the user with 1D, 2D and ... -
GeoSuite – A Modular System for Geotechnical Design
(Chapter, 2016)Remarkable advances in the analysis tools of, for example slopes, embankment stability and settlements have happened since the 90s. Many are due to the information technology revolution in all aspects of geotechnical ... -
GIS aided avalanche warning in Norway.
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2008)By 2008 detailed avalanche warning for the entire Norway is not available. The Norwegian Meteorological Institute only issues a general warning for large regions of the country for danger level 4 or 5, mainly based on ... -
Global warning reduces the consequences of slushflows
(Chapter, 2017)Most recentpublicationson natural hazards, if they mention slushflows at all, state that their impact onmankind will increase. However, milder weather, shorter winters, less snow and rise of the snowline will mainly shift ... -
The Godtifonn avalanche
(Chapter, 2007)The group also had the chance to visit the Godtifonn avalanche track located about 25 km west of Stryn. 1 1/2 years previously, a huge avalanche event released and impacted one of the most important transnational roads ... -
Hazard, Reliability and Risk Assessment - Research and Practice for Increased Safety
(Chapter, 2016)Society increasingly requires the engineer to quantify and manage the risk which people, property and the environment are exposed to. The role of the geotechnical engineering profession is to reduce exposure to threats, ... -
Human error revisited
(The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2012)It is often reported that a majority of avalanche accidents, as well as accidents in other fields, are caused by human error. In these accident analyses, the accidents are attributed to the "human factor". This factor is ...
