Identifying emergent ecosystem responses through genes-to-ecosystems integration at Stordalen Mire
Permafrost thaw induced by climate change is predicted to make up to 174 Pg of near-surface carbon (less than 3m below the surface) available for microbial degradation by 2100. Despite having major implications for human health, prediction of the magnitude of carbon loss as carbon dioxide (CO2) or methane (CH4) is hampered by our limited knowledge of microbial metabolism of organic matter in these environments.Genome-centric meta-omic analysis of microbial communities provides the necessary information to examine how specific lineages transform …

Real-time Business Process Integration in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) for Industry 4.0
The vision of Industry 4.0 is to support business capabilities at the edge. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) enables this vision by integrating IoT with Enterprise Systems (ESs). In an IIoT process, sensor applications at the edge require seamless integration with the software services of ESs. This, in turn, facilitates the real-time correlation of sensor events with BPs. However, existing IIoT architectures lack the necessary architectural capabilities to reflect the true essence of Industry 4.0.This research aims to develop …

Investigating integration of climate change adaptation policies across government levels
Climate change poses an unprecedented global challenge, and its impact is profoundly felt at the local level. The pressing need for effective adaptation strategies requires a nuanced understanding of how local governments navigate and integrate policies at various administrative tiers. Our research project delves into the pivotal question of how local governments align with regional, state, and national climate change adaptation policies, offering a crucial lens into the challenges and opportunities that emerge at the intersection of policy and planning.This …
