Unveiling Solutions: Plastdagen 2023’s Dive into Plastic Pollution Research
The 2023 edition of Plastdagen (Plastic Day in English), held in Trondheim’s Dokkhuset, was a testament to the shared commitment of industry, academia, and scientific research to address the environmental impacts of plastics and pave the way for a sustainable future.
Joining forces to map and monitor the ocean pulse
NTNU and The University of Florida Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to leverage their collective scientific expertise and technology platforms to map and monitor the world’s oceans, lakes and waterways.
The past and future of the Arctic Ocean are on the agenda at a major research conference this week
The large Norwegian research project “The Nansen Legacy” has studied climate and ecosystem changes in the northern Barents Sea for seven years. Now, the project is soon coming to a close.
Buildings: do not break or make, but repurpose
I am exploring how buildings adapt to demographic changes, with the aim to develop scenarios to project future needs for building.
Investigating algae in the Arctic with enabling technology
The Arctic white winter wonderland. Ocean is covered by sea ice where seals and polar bears live. The landscape is mesmerizing. Although it is always cold here, this part of the planet is subjected to strong seasonal changes. The most dramatic being light.
High temperature heat pumps will reduce CO2 emissions and lower energy use
Some industries require temperatures of between 100 and 180 degrees. A high temperature heat pump is able to deliver this, so it has great commercial potential.
From cozy woodstove to sustainable and healthy woodstove technology
Hopefully my PhD project will contribute to a sustainable woodstove future, where the impact on climate is mitigated and the air quality will be improved, which will improve people’s health and quality of life.
We need to find more efficient ways to recycle metals
Metals are less available than before, and a lot of them come from geopolitically critical areas. I investigate a way to make metal production more sustainable, through recycling.
