Modelltesting gir bedre sikring mot skred
Flomskred er en økende trussel mot bygninger og infrastruktur når klimaet blir varmere og våtere. Laboratorieforsøk gir oss kunnskap som er nødvendig for å prosjektere skredsikringer på best mulig måte. Les mer i Byggeindustrien nr. 12/2016.
Vi bygger nullutslippslaboratorium
ZEB Flexible Lab er det nye laboratoriet NTNU og SINTEF skal bygge på Gløshaugen i Trondheim. Bygningen vil være et levende laboratorium, et kontor- og undervisningsbygg i full drift der vi samtidig skal prøve ut og utvikle nye løsninger. Dette skal bli et verktøy for å skape verdens mest klimavennlige bygg. ZEB Flexible Lab vil være et sentralt forskningsobjekt og -verktøy for både FME'et Zero Emission Neighbourhoods in Smart Cities (ZEN) og i Klima 2050. Les mer her.

Klima 2050 at IAPS 2016
Learning and competence on climate adaptation – too many guidelines?
At the conference IAPS – International Association People-Environment Studies - in Lund, Sweden, Åshild L. Hauge will present a study of Norwegian guidance material on climate adaptation of buildings and infrastructure in Norway. The objective for this study has been to analyse what characterizes the guidance material. The study will be a basis for further case studies for Klima 2050 in municipalities and organizations. For more information about the conference.
Overvannshåndtering Åsveien skole
Ved Åsveien skole i Trondheim er det etablert flere tiltak for å fordrøye avrenningen av overvann. Flere fra Klima 2050 har vært på befaring for å se på løsningene og hvordan de kan inngå i videre arbeid ved senteret. Les mer her.
Site visit to Gråfonnfjellet
PhD candidate Petter Fornes participated in a site visit to Gråfonnfjellet with colleagues from NVE and the Norwegian Geological Survey, NGU on first and 2nd June. This location is quite active with several types of landslides, including debris flows, and it has been monitored with cameras and a rain gauge station since September 2014 as part of a joint NVE/NGU project.

New Klima 2050 Report: Surveying perception of landslide risk management
Enhanced precipitation due to climate changes leads to increase in both frequency and intensity of landslides in Norway. A proactive approach to risk management is therefore required to significantly reduce the losses associated with landslides. Opinions and perceptions from practitioners on performance of landslide risk management are expected to provide insights on areas for improvement in landslide risk management activities in Norway. They are also useful reference for prioritising future work plans in Klima 2050. For the present study, a survey on landslide risk management perceptions in Norway has been conducted. A total of 28 responses were received. The authors of the report are Jessica Ka Yi Chiu and Unni Eidsvig from NGI.
