Eva Lieungh defended her PhD thesis on September 29th. The main defense was about combining observation with different modelling methods to gain important insights about ecosystems in change. The trial lecture before the defense was about a famous historical disagreement between F. E. Clements and H. A. Gleason on vegetation dynamics, and how vegetation dynamics is conceptualized in Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs).
Lasse T. Keetz, Eva Lieungh and co-authors have published a paper in Global Change Biology.
Ingrid Vesterdal Tjessem has joined our group as a PhD student and will investigate treeline dynamics and ecology. Ingrid's PhD is funded by Kunnskapsdepartementet and she will be involved in various GEco projects.
Adam E. Naas and 15 co-authors have published a paper on inconsistencies among NiN field mappers in Applied Vegetation Science.
Introduksjonskurs i NiN-systemet ble holdt på Blindern 21.-23. mars.
Anders Bryn, René Van der Wal, Lisa Norton, and Tim Hofmeester's book chapter in the textbook Monitoring Biodiversity is now published open access.
Rekartlegging i Oslo-området viser stort naturtap i løpet av 40 år. Kronikken er basert på masteroppgaven til Katrine M. Brynildsrud fra GEco-gruppa på Naturhistorisk Museum. Les hele saken her.
The GEco group has two new faces: researcher Dr. Ida Marielle Mienna and intern Nadège Tissot.
Denne podcasten handler kort om Geo-økologisk forskningsgruppe, beskrivelsessystemet "Natur i Norge", hva naturtyper er og hvordan disse kartlegges.
This week, we have taken our laptops and thinking caps to Drøbak, to work efficiently on joint projects.
Michal Torma is our new Data steward. He will be working within the Norwegian GBIF node to publish new data, train students and employees, scale up digitisation of museum collections metadata, and much more.
Jan Sulavik defended his PhD thesis on January 21st. The thesis "Learning from the past, assessing the present, discerning the future: a comprehensive evaluation of restoration success in alpine environment using ecosystem-, community-, and population-level studies" was preceded by a trial lecture on factors affecting restoration success in northern ecosystems.
Julien Vollering defended his PhD thesis on January 17th. After a trial lecture about ecosystem response to climate change, the main defence was about forecasting the continued naturalization of wildly planted Sitka spruce in Norway.
We are looking for a new colleague to work with biogeography. The position is full time for a project period of two years, planned to start in the first quarter of 2022. Apply and see the full announcement here.
Anders Bryn, Ane Vollsnes og Frode Stordal har en ny kronikk ute i Nationen. Les hele teksten her.
Anders Bryn, Trine Bekkby, Eli Rinde, Hege Gundersen, and Rune Halvorsen's paper on reliability in distribution modelling is out now in Fronitiers in Ecology and Evolution. The review links the most common sources of uncertainties to different phases in the modeling process.
Peter Horvath, Rune Halvorsen, Trond Simensen, and Anders Bryn are the authors of a new paper in GIScience and Remote Sensing. They compare three methods of assembling wall-to-wall maps using modelled distributions of individual vegetation types.
Adam Eindride Naas is our new PhD student, and will do his PhD as part of the project "Modelling Ecological state and Condition Maps to support knowledge-based decision-making in Area management and spatial Planning" (ECoMAP).
Combining science and team building, most of the GEco group plus a few guests went on an excursion to the Heathland Centre in August.
A week in August 2020, GEco'ers and a few guests met in Iškoras, Karasjok (Kárášjohka), combining science with learning and teambuilding.
Skal du ut og kartlegge naturtyper med “Natur i Norge” -systemet i sommer? Eller vil du bare ha en digital oversikt over systemet?
