Uncertain Climate Policy Decisions and Investment Timing: Evidence from Small Hydropower Plants
(Journal article, 2011) -
Uncertainties around reductions in China's coal use and CO 2 emissions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Chinese coal consumption dropped 2.9% in 2014 according to preliminary official statistics1 released in 2015. This was hailed as historic after China’s meteoric growth in the 2000s2. The International Energy Agency used ... -
Uncertainty in land carbon budget simulated by terrestrial biosphere models: the role of atmospheric forcing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Global estimates of the land carbon sink are often based on simulations by terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs). The use of a large number of models that differ in their underlying hypotheses, structure and parameters is ... -
Under what conditions will the paris process produce a cycle of increasing ambition sufficient to reach the 2°c goal?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The Paris Agreement establishes a cycle where parties submit their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) every five years. First-round NDCs fail to put emissions on a path consistent with achieving the Agreement’s 2°C ... -
Understanding and Managing Harmful Algal Bloom Risks in a Changing Climate: Lessons From the European CoCliME Project
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This paper discusses the conceptual and methodological challenges to co-developing high-quality and transferable knowledge to understand and manage harmful algal bloom (HAB) risks as part of adaptation to changing aquatic ... -
Understanding low-carbon food consumption transformation through social practice theory: The case of community supported agriculture in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Drawing on a qualitative case study of consumers involved in community-supported agriculture farms in Norway, this article applies social practice theory to understand pro-environmental behaviour transformation in relation ... -
Understanding model diversity in future precipitation projections for South America
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Precipitation patterns are expected to change in the future climate, affecting humans through a number of factors. Global climate models (GCM) are our best tools for projecting large-scale changes in climate, but they ... -
Understanding Top-of-Atmosphere Flux Bias in the AeroCom Phase III Models: A Clear-Sky Perspective
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Biases in aerosol optical depths (AOD) and land surface albedos in the AeroCom models are manifested in the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) clear-sky reflected shortwave (SW) fluxes. Biases in the SW fluxes from AeroCom models are ... -
The United States: conditions for accelerating decarbonisation in a politically divided country
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)President Biden faces tremendous challenges to overcome political polarisation as he re-commits the United States to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and promises decarbonisation of the US economy over the next three ... -
Update and evaluation of the ozone dry deposition in Oslo CTM3 v1.0
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)High concentrations of ozone in ambient air are hazardous not only to humans but to the ecosystem in general. The impact of ozone damage on vegetation and agricultural plants in combination with advancing climate change ... -
Urban contractual agreements as an adaptive governance strategy: under what conditions do they work in multi-level cooperation?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The Norwegian urban growth agreement (UGA) is a governance platform combining transport-infrastructure development with land-use and transport policy. It is a policy package of measures involving network cooperation between ... -

Urban infrastructure choices structure climate solutions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Cities are becoming increasingly important in combatting climate change, but their overall role in global solution pathways remains unclear. Here we suggest structuring urban climate solutions along the use of existing and ... -
Urbanization in megacities increases the frequency of extreme precipitation events far more than their intensity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)More than half of the world's population lives in urban areas (UN Population Division 2018 The World's cities in 2018 (UN: New York)), which are especially vulnerable to climate extremes (Field et al 2012 Managing the Risks ... -
US presidents and the failure to ratify multilateral environmental agreements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)Whereas the US President signed the Kyoto Protocol, the failure of the US Congress to ratify it seriously hampered subsequent international climate cooperation. This recent US trend, of signing environmental treaties but ... -
The use of QBO, ENSO, and NAO perturbations in the evaluation of GOME-2 MetOp A total ozone measurements
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In this work we present evidence that quasi cyclical perturbations in total ozone (quasi-biennial oscil lation – QBO, El Niño–Southern Oscillation – ENSO, and North Atlantic Oscillation – NAO) can be used as indepen dent ... -
Varieties of approaches to constructing physical climate storylines: A review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The physical climate storyline (PCS) approach is increasingly recognized by the physical climate research community as a tool to produce and communicate decision-relevant climate risk information. While PCS is generally ... -
