Assessing and analyzing the relationship between surface albedo and surface temperature of different vegetation types. (Blueberry, Lichen, Heather, Tall grass, Short grass and Bare ground)
(Master thesis, 2023)This study investigates the link between surface albedo and temperature difference (T. diff.: the difference between the actual surface temperature and ambient temperature) for various vegetation types to ascertain if ... -
Fluvial Terraces and Sea Level Changes in the Stabbursnes Study Area: A LiDAR-Based Analysis
(Master thesis, 2023)This research work uses a LiDAR-based approach to map fluvial terraces, distinguish contemporaneous terraces, and decipher the complex link between sea-level fluctuations and terrace formations. The research aims to assess ... -
Environmental DNA analyses for detecting the Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) and assessing biodiversity: a metabarcoding and qPCR study
(Master thesis, 2023)Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a relatively new method that has emerged as a promising tool for detecting biodiversity. In this study, I tested the efficacy of using eDNA extracted from water samples of two rivers in Norway, ... -
Comparison and Characterization of Putative Plastic Degrading Microbes
(Master thesis, 2023)Plastic pollution is becoming a pressing environmental issue. Plastic polymers are accumulating in waste landfills and oceans creating the great Pacific garbage patch. Its versatility, strength, and durability make it hard ... -
Prevalence of Babesia species in Ixodes ricinus ticks from Brønnøysund in Norway
(Master thesis, 2022)Babesiosis in cattle caused by blood borne parasites in the genera Babesia. The disease has shown an increasing trend in Europe over the last decades and are already considered a major threat to livestock in several ... -
Modelling of the energy budgets at Imingfjell, Norway, using the Community Land Model (CLM4.5)
(Master thesis, 2020)Mountains are one of the most sensitive areas to climate change as they are biodiversity hotspots. One of the main problems in studying climate change for mountainous territories is the lack of meteorological data due to ... -
Variations in macrochemistry, nutrients and heavy metals during hydrological events in a small Norwegian stream
(Master thesis, 2020)This investigation has emphasized on transport of particles and nutrients during different hydrological events in a water course in Southern Norway, primarily draining agricultural areas. Two streams, Borjaevju and Prestevju, ... -
Scale and growth analysis of Sea trout (Salmo trutta L.) using object j caught in Etneelva in 2019
(Master thesis, 2020)There is a decline in sea trout (Salmo trutta L.) population in central Norway since 1970s. While the reason behind this reduction until now unknown but marine mortality can be one of the reasons. Sea trout, known as ... -
Nedbrytning av polyetylen med lav tetthet av stammer av Rhodococcus degradans R1-1a og Pseudomonas silensiensis R4-2g
(Master thesis, 2021)For all sin betydning i vår daglige bruk, har plastpolymer utgjort en stor fare for miljøet. På grunn av deres stabilitet, høye molekylvekt, hydrofobisitet og lave nedbrytningshastighet, vedvarer de derfor i miljøet og ... -
Isolation and Characterisation of Plastic-Degrading Microorganisms
(Master thesis, 2021)Different microorganisms from aged plastics wastes were sampled from various locations in previous studies. 14 strains were isolated and characterized by catalase, oxidase, gram and observational tests. After identification, ... -
