The Arctic is engaged in a deep climatic evolution. This evolution is quite predictable at short (year) and longer scales (several decades), but it is the decadal intermediate scale that is the most difficult to predict. This is because the natural variability of the system is large and dominant at this scale, and the system is highly non linear due to positive and negative feedback between sea ic...

The project’s main focus is the development of methods for studies that aim to identify the most important properties of a product, so-called drivers of liking. In particular, emphasis is on development of methods for planning and analysis of experiments where one wishes to combine integrated product properties (intrinsic attributes) with properties related to packaging, design and various informa...

Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), in which fish tank water is recycled with the aid of biological filters, is little used in Norway. RAS may offer advantages over traditional flow-through (FT) systems, regarding sustainability and fish welfare, but these aspects have been little studied for Atlantic salmon smolt production.

The recommendations of the World Health Organisation are based on research results which clearly show that a diet beneficial to health is rich in "green foods" - food based on raw materials from plants, such as fruit, berries, vegetables, legumes, herbs/spices and nuts. These recommendations, however, are pretty general and say nothing of what actually happens in these products during processes, s...
