    Bacterial communities of lichens and mosses, and nitrogen fixation in a warming climate 
    Klarenberg, Ingeborg J. (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, 2021-10)
    Climate warming in sub-Arctic regions leads to shifts in plant communities and retreating glaciers. Mosses and lichens contribute to important ecosystem processes in these environments, including nitrogen fixation via their microbiome. The first objective ...

    Ecology of krill in Icelandic waters 
    Silva, Teresa Sofia Giesta da (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, 2018-12-14)
    Krill are an important component of the Icelandic marine ecosystem. Given their important ecological niche, as conveyors of biological production between phytoplankton and higher trophic levels, fluctuations in krill abundance can have large impacts ...

    Environmentally Significant Behaviour: Spatial Distribution, Drivers, and Barriers to Change 
    Árnadóttir, Áróra (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2021-08)
    The consumption activities of urbanites contribute to an ever-increasing share of greenhouse gas emissions and resource depletion. As urban form influences behaviours, the search for the most sustainable type of urban form is a research topic of interest. ...

    Glacier tourism and climate change adaptation in Iceland 
    Welling, Johannes (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, 2020-10)
    Climate change constitutes one of the most pressing challenges faced by tourism today. Tourism research on climate-induced environmental changes has contributed to an increase in knowledge about adaptation during the last decade. Despite a general ...

    Historical and future trends in global snow conditions – observed by remote sensing and forecasted by spatio-temporal modelling 
    Eyþórsson, Darri (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2023)
    Snow resources worldwide are undergoing extensive changes in response to widespread and rapid changing of the global climate. These resources are vital in many areas and changes to them have and will continue to impact human societies and ecosystems ...

    Internal dynamics of a medium-sized subarctic lake: field measurements and numerical modeling 
    Priet-Mahéo, Morgane (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2019-09)
    As the Arctic Circle opens up due to the effects of global warming, the surrounding regions, and in particular the subarctic zone, experience both climatic and societal changes, which makes it imperative to understand the existing ecosystems. Lake ...

    Managing unprecedented risk: Unstable slopes in Iceland and Greenland 
    Matti, Stephanie Alice (University of Iceland, School of Social Sciences, Faculty of Sociology, Anthropology and Folkloristics, 2022)
    Climate change is contributing to shifts in the magnitude and scale of hazards, and the emergence of environmental risks in areas where they were previously unknown. In the Öræfi district of south-east Iceland, a fracture discovered by farmers gathering ...

    Rebound effects projected onto carbon footprints - Implications for climate change mitigation in the built environment 
    Ottelin, Juudit (Unigrafia, Helsinki, 2016-11)
    Climate change mitigation in the built environment encompasses various mitigation measures, such as energy efficient buildings, spatial planning instruments and other policies targeting the emissions resulting from transport. However, studies on the ...
