Norwegian subarctic fjord and coastal ice to address an intriguing gap in scientific knowledge. Little research so far Due to the influence of warm Atlantic water, larger fjords along the Norwegian coast are ice free all year. However, sea ice can form in the inner parts of fjords and in smaller fjord branches...
In manned space, the control of the air quality is of utmost importance for the health and wellbeing of the crew. Therefore, ESA has a long-term program for trace gas monitoring, and SINTEF has taken part in this since its conception in 1990, where it began with a technology selection process. ANITA...
Norway and Europe,” says Nils Røkke, Chairman of the Board of the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA) and Executive Vice President Sustainability SINTEF Energy, one of Europe’s largest independent research organisations. The Northern Lights project is part of Norway’s full-scale CO2 capture and return...
...generation in cities and other built-up areas. But what is the best way of exploiting wind energy in such areas? Research scientists at SINTEF have been reviewing state-of-the-art technologies and have studied projects elsewhere in the world where wind turbines have been installed both on and in buildings....
...was performed during last week at the CO2 Field Lab. About one tonne of CO2 was injected at 20 meters depth and the movement of the gas was monitored. Chief scientist Erik Lindeberg at SINTEF, and Svein Staal Eggen from Gassnova inspects the monitoring of the CO2 during the shallow injection which was...
...is Director of the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) has warned that the deficit will lead to persistently high electricity prices in the years leading up to 2030, resulting in a high risk of energy poverty. Both the Energy Commission and the Environment Agency here in Norway have...

Tromsø - The Gateway to the Arctic and the largest city in the Nordic countries north of the Arctic Circle. It is a mere 2000 km from the North Pole. In spite of its location so far north, Tromsø enjoys a moderate insular climate. This is due to the warming effects of the North Atlantic Current, an extension...
...very well and managing nicely at the moment with my security alarm and telephone”, says 91-year old Ellen Owesen in Trondheim. Like many others of her age, she enjoys living alone. Her home is built to universal lifespan standards. It’s easy for her to get out with her wheeled walker, and during the...
Benjaminsen The system developed by SINTEF and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology will make life safer for older people and those at risk of falling. And the prototype is surprisingly simple – a mobile phone attached to a hip belt that can be programmed and connected to a fall algorithm. The...
Singapore is considering moving its power stations, water reservoirs, harbour warehouses and waste combustion plants below ground. Scientists from Trondheim are helping to shape the first systematic use of underground area in the world. It is extremely interesting for us to contribute to a job like...

Myhr joined SINTEF Petroleum Research (then known as IKU) in 1986, since when she has held a number of positions in the company, as laboratory manager, programme manager and section manager...
...expertise and that of her colleagues is in great demand after what to all appearances is sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines. Full remote control of a subsea operation is far more demanding than carrying out repairs using divers. However, suitable systems are available. Aune and her colleagues...
University of Science and Technology (NTNU) are testing a model “whale tail” that can be attached to ships. NTNU is conducting these tests in the Marintek Towing Tank in cooperation with Rolls-Royce and the British companies Seaspeed and MOST. Eirik Bøckmann, Stephen Phillips, Alastair Sim and Ie-Bum Shin discuss...
...A fire is raging in a large building and the fire leader is sending a message to all firefighters at the scene. But they don’t need a mobile phone – they simply check their jacket sleeves and read the message there. By Åse Dragland Communication is essential during the chaos generated by a fire, earthquake...
...is block structured and each block is, depending on the dimension, a bivariate or trivariate non-trimmed NURBS patch. A CAD model is a set of elementary surfaces such as planes, cylinders, cones and torii, and NURBS surfaces. Many of the surfaces will be trimmed causing gaps and overlaps between the...
Both Helicopter and vessel application of dispersants are considered to have a significant potential in ice-covered waters. Through an evaluation of the different dispersant spray systems and platforms it has been recommended to focus the further work within this task on vessel as application. The In...
