Background and objective: In March 2010, a 30 years’ memorial assembly related to one of Norway’s worst disasters ever was held. The oil rig named after the Norwegian author, Alexander L. Kielland, capsized in the North Sea on the 27th March, 1980. Of the 212 men onboard, 89 survived. This doctoral thesis is a part of a larger longitudinal project which has been following-up the Norwegian survivors across four waves of data collections, in 1980, 1981, 1985 and 2007. A matched reference group of ...

Statistical modelling is often used to relate the presence or abundance of species to environmental predictors, thereby providing a basis for predictive mapping of species or biodiversity. The variables included must thus be relevant and reflect actual changes in the environment. Therefore, the quantification of species–environment relationships is an important aspect of predictive modelling. This thesis examines how phytobenthic species or communities in the Baltic Sea relate to environmental g...

This thesis provided a new understanding of the lithospheric structural setting and anomalies observed in the greater Barents Sea. The Barents Sea has been focus of attention for geological and economical reason since the 70ies-80ies. The crustal and lithospheric evolution of this area has been poorly understood and relatively challenging because it involved a large number of different processes. During its evolution, plate aggregation and orogenesis have been alternated with episodic rifting an...

The main theme of this thesis is the interactions of animals with the environment and each other. The thesis was written within the framework of a biomanipulation project “Pikeperch in Himmerfjärden”. With the aim to investigate possible trophic pit-falls, give the manipulation the best possible start, and find ways to monitor the progression of the manipulation. In Paper I the diet of the invader cladoceran Cercopagis pengoi is analysed with stable isotopes; conducted prior to stocking. C.pengo...

Aquatic sediments are of major importance for the cycling of environmental pollutants, acting as both sinks and secondary sources of contaminants to the ecosystem. Sediment-living organisms can affect the fate and transport of contaminants through activities like feeding and burrowing, collectively called bioturbation. Apart from high contaminant levels, the Baltic benthic ecosystem is affected by stressors such as eutrophication-induced anoxic conditions and invading alien species. The main obj...

The essay investigates hybridity in Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea with a focus on the main character Antoinette. Homi K Bhabha's theory of hybridity provides a way to analyze Antoinette's predicament as an outsider and threat to both the Caribbean society she is living in and her English husband. The aim of the essay is to examine the alienation and rejection of Antoinette in the light of her hybridity.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the attrition behavior of the first accessions, fiscal year 1984 accessions, into the Sea/Air Mariner (SAM) program and develop an improved screening table for SAM applicants. Data files of active Navy, Ready Mariner, and SAM personnel were used as the basis for applying statistical methods to develop an improved screening table. This study found serious deficiencies with the SAM data file. The necessity that manpower data be accurate and reliable must be...

Countries in Baltic Sea the region represent all combinations of political approaches to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the European Union, democracy, and a market economy. The region, hence, is a focal point and testing ground of problems and challenges for Europe to face in the 21st century as a whole. The success or failure of this region depends on the adequacy of foreign policy of each country in this key area. A comprehensive analysis of key elements of foreign and security policy...

CIVINS / The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the feasibility of an electromagnetic launcher for aircraft launch at sea. To accomplish this task, the performance requirements and physical constraints for an aircraft launcher were determined. Also, a review of previously used aircraft catapult was completed. In addition to this, an investigation into previously designed electromagnetic launchers was done. A review of electromagnetic launcher theory is also necessary. An investigation of d...

The dispute between at least six riparian nations over jurisdictional rights to large tracts of the South China Sea continues to reign as one of the most likely flashpoints in the Asia-Pacific theater. The intentions of the chief protagonist in the conflict, China, will in large measure determine whether this dilemma will be resolved peacefully or violently. Relying on three case studies that focus on China's takeover of the Paracel Islands in 1974, its occupation of six reefs in 1988, and subse...

On 25 August a controlled burn on the former Fort Ord property raged out of control. The sea breeze was responsible for transporting the acrid smoke into the Salinas Valley. The PSUINCAR mesoscale model, MMS, was run at 4 km grid resolution twice using two different PBL schemes (MRF and Burk-Thompson) and then verified by observations from several local mesoscale networks, including wind profiler data. The MM5 simulation was able to depict the 3-D structure of the sea breeze and differentiate be...

This thesis investigates how benthic fluxes of phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N), and silicon (Si) change upon oxygenation of anoxic soft bottoms in the brackish, eutrophicated Baltic Sea. Direct measurements in situ by benthic landers demonstrated that fluxes of dissolved inorganic P (DIP) from anoxic bottom sediments in the Eastern Gotland Basin are higher than previously thought (Paper I). It is argued that the benthic DIP flux has a much larger influence on the DIP inventory in the Baltic proper ...
