Satellite-based monitoring to reduce impact of natural disasters

27 April 2021

A three-year European Space Agency study will look at the potential of satellite based monitoring technologies in reducing risks posed by geohazards.

This is what you need to know about CCS – Carbon Capture and Storage

07 October 2019

Why is there so much talk about storing CO2 underground? Doesn’t it cost more than it’s worth? Here we provide the research scientists’ answers and explanations of why CCS is climate technology that we are completely dependent on. And yes, this can be performed in a safe manner.

Enabling the transition to a circular economy

12 June 2019

Norway and the EU are prioritising a circular economy agenda to deliver the next generation of jobs, growth and investment. But how can we enable this transition to a circular economy?

Prosjekter

AlumatIQ/Anodeskifterobot

25 March 2021

The goal of the project is contribute to the design and development of an automated system for anode change operations in the aluminium smelting industry.

GeoDrones

20 January 2021

Geophysical mapping and monitoring of natural hazards using multi-purpose UAVs.

SWIFTER – SmartWing Infrastructure Failure Tracking and Emergency Response

19 April 2021

The primary goal of the project is to develop a sensor suite and algorithms that will enable the detection and classification of critical faults – those that can cause power outages – even in poor visibility conditions.

Programvare

DREAM – Dose-related Risk and Effects Assessment Model

The numerical model DREAM (Dose related Risk and Effect Assessment Model) accounts for releases of complex mixtures of chemicals, such as those associated with produced water and drilling discharges. DREAM is used as a decision support tool for management of operational discharges to the marine environment.

OSCAR – Oil Spill Contingency and Response

OSCAR is a state of the art model and simulation tool for predicting the fates and effects of oil released during an accidental release of oil, either from a platform or a vessel. OSCAR provides insight in the behavior of oil during an accident and captures the effects of contingency and response, allowing for contingency analysis and planning as well as hind- and forecasting.

SCORE – Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Core Development Project

The SCORE project is a software development project for creating a framework for handling cross disciplinary engineering problems involving fluid and solid mechanics with complex boundaries and free surfaces.
