Kan karbonhåndtering redde klimaet?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009) -
The political economy of technology support: Making decisions about carbon capture and storage and low carbon energy technologies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011)This article reviews the political economy of government choice around technology support for the development and deployment of low carbon emission energy technologies, such as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). It is ... -
CO2 emissions from biomass combustion for bioenergy: atmospheric decay and contribution to global warming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from biomass combustion are traditionally assumed climate neutral if the bioenergy system is carbon (C) flux neutral, i.e. the CO2 released from biofuel combustion approximately equals the ... -
Can conditional commitments break the climate change negotiations deadlock?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)Can a conditional commitment by a major actor (for example, the European Union) induce other major actors (such as the USA, China, India, or Japan) to do more to mitigate global climate change? We analyse this question by ... -
Capital Gains and Income Arising from Nonrenewable Resources
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Should capital gains be included in income arising from nonrenewable resources? In the present paper, I show that capital gains from a nonrenewable resource can be divided into two terms: real price change effects and real ... -
Mean-curvature watersheds: A simple method for segmentation of a digital elevation model into terrain units
(Journal article, 2012)Terrain segmentation is the process of subdividing a continuous terrain surface into discrete terrain units. If the resulting units represent meaningful geomorphic objects the approach may facilitate studies of not only ... -
A credible compliance enforcement system for the climate regime
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The compliance enforcement system of the Kyoto Protocol provides only weak incentives for Parties to comply with their commitments. For example, the penalties for non-compliant countries are not legally binding, and moreover, ... -
Wealth-dependent and interdependent strategies in the Saami reindeer husbandry, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)It has been argued that decisions in relation to choosing strategies to a large degree depend on an organism's state. For nomadic pastoralists, wealth is an important state variable since it has been argued that differences ... -
Cooperative Pastoral Production: Reconceptualizing the Relationship between Pastoral Labor and Production
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)A review of the literature concerning nomadic pastoralism reveals a prevalent assumption of a positive effect of labor inputs on pastoral production. However, studies that have tried to quantify the relationship between ... -
Why the United States did not become a party to the Kyoto Protocol: German, Norwegian, and US perspectives
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)According to two-level game theory, negotiators tailor agreements at the international level to be ratifiable at the domestic level. This did not happen in the Kyoto negotiations, however, in the US case. We interviewed ... -
The acceptability of efficiency-enhancing environmental taxes, subsidies and regulation: An experimental investigation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)Public opposition to efficiency-enhancing policies is a significant barrier to addressing many environmental challenges. We use a market experiment to explore the acceptability of three types of instruments: Pigouvian taxes ... -
A credible compliance enforcement system for the climate regime
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The compliance enforcement system of the Kyoto Protocol provides only weak incentives for Parties to comply with their commitments. For example, the penalties for non-compliant countries are not legally binding, and moreover, ... -
Comparing approaches to valuing sectoral net investments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)In the literature of comprehensive national accounts, national net investments are used to indicate dynamic welfare improvement in an economy. A well-known approach associates national net investments with the shadow value ... -
Evaluation of preindustrial to present-day black carbon and its albedo forcing from Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Model Intercomparison Project (ACCMIP)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)As part of the Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Model Intercomparison Project (ACCMIP), we evaluate the historical black carbon (BC) aerosols simulated by 8 ACCMIP models against observations including 12 ice core records, ... -
The Australian terrestrial carbon budget
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)This paper reports a study of the full carbon (C-CO2) budget of the Australian continent, focussing on 1990–2011 in the context of estimates over two centuries. The work is a contribution to the RECCAP (REgional Carbon ... -
Evaluation of ACCMIP outgoing longwave radiation from tropospheric ozone using TES satellite observations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)We use simultaneous observations of tropospheric ozone and outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) sensitivity to tropospheric ozone from the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) to evaluate model tropospheric ozone and its ... -
Climate change, risk management and the end of Nomadic pastoralism
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Mobility has been argued to be the single factor explaining why some pastoralists do relatively well during extreme climatic events, while others do not, because mobility works by taking advantage of the spatial and temporal ... -
A multi-method evaluation of the potential for using the electricity bill to encourage energy savings in Norwegian households
(Journal article, 2013)This study explores whether the electricity bill can be used as a medium to deliver information that encourages energy conservation in Norwegian households. Two main categories of information were tested: social comparative ... -
Pre-industrial to end 21st century projections of tropospheric ozone from the Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Model Intercomparison Project (ACCMIP)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Present day tropospheric ozone and its changes between 1850 and 2100 are considered, analysing 15 global models that participated in the Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Model Intercomparison Project (ACCMIP). The ensemble ...
