Household Energy Use and Carbon Emissions in China: A decomposition analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Although its per capita carbon emissions are still relatively low, China’s aggregated carbon emissions have grown by nearly 4-fold in the last three decades, and now it is the biggest CO2 emitter in the world. There are ... -
How aerosols and greenhouse gases influence the diurnal temperature range
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The diurnal temperature range (DTR) (or difference between the maximum and minimum temperature within a day) is one of many climate parameters that affects health, agriculture and society. Understanding how DTR evolves ... -
How can diverse national food and land-use priorities be reconciled with global sustainability targets? Lessons from the FABLE initiative
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)There is an urgent need for countries to transition their national food and land-use systems toward food and nutritional security, climate stability, and environmental integrity. How can countries satisfy their demands ... -
How much snow falls in the world's mountains? A first look at mountain snowfall estimates in A-train observations and reanalyses
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)CloudSat estimates that 1773 km3 of snow falls, on average, each year over the world's mountains. This amounts to 5 % of the global snowfall accumulations. This study synthetizes mountain snowfall estimates over the four ... -
How Regional Authorities Act Under Restricted Decentralization: Evidence from the Norwegian Transport Sector
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The literature on decentralization points out that there is a tendency to limit discretion at the local level by, for example, imposing national standards. It is therefore of interest to understand how sub-national ... -
How to make local context matter in national advice: Towards adaptive comanagement in norwegian climate adaptation

How well are aerosol-cloud interactions represented in climate models? - Part 1: Understanding the sulfate aerosol production from the 2014-15 Holuhraun eruption
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)For over 6 months, the 2014–2015 effusive eruption at Holuhraun, Iceland, injected considerable amounts of sulfur dioxide (SO2) into the lower troposphere with a daily rate of up to one-third of the global emission rate, ... -
How will greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles be constrained in China around 2030?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Increasing emissions from road transportation endanger China’s objective to reduce national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The unconstrained growth of vehicle GHG emissions are mainly caused by the insufficient improvement ... -
‘I prefer to own what I use’: Exploring the role of emotions in upscaling collaborative consumption through libraries in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The generalisation of collaborative consumption as a practice embedded in everyday practices such as cooking, cleaning, repairing, commuting, and exercising can reduce material and resource use, but has not yet achieved ... -
Impact of heat on all-cause and cause-specific mortality: A multi-city study in Texas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Studies on the health effects of heat are particularly limited in Texas, a U.S. state in the top 10 highest number of annual heat-related deaths per capita from 2018 to 2020. This study assessed the effects of heat on ... -
The impact of public health messaging and personal experience on the acceptance of mask wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Face coverings have been shown to slow the spread of COVID-19, yet their use is not universal and remains controversial in the United States. Designing effective nudges for widespread adoption is important when federal ... -
Impact of strong and extreme El Niños on European hydroclimate
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The question of European hydroclimate anomaly associated with El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is revisited by composite analyses on data from Dai et al.’s Palmer Drought Severity Index, the Old World Drought Atlas ... -
