1. "Share weather" : Design and evaluation of a new concept for sharing weather information
Abstract : Already centuries ago, humans had observed the weather in their everyday lives, seeking ways to understand, comprehend, and predict it. Until the present day, weather has had tremendous impacts on our lives and with climate change human civilizations as well. READ MORE

2. Optimal weather routing using ensemble weather forecasts
Abstract : Ships small and large all battle the elements when crossing the worlds oceans. As such, ships are designed to operate in situations with high speed winds and heavy waves. There are however limits to what any ship can handle safely and it is thus important to avoid the worst weather systems as much as possible. READ MORE

4. Understanding Weather effects on, in, and from large Herbivore Population Dynamics
Abstract : Large herbivores are monitored for various reasons in many areas around the world. Data from such monitoring can be of varying degree of detail and extent. Several studies have shown that we need extensive amounts of data with a high degree of detail to be able to understand anything from it. READ MORE

5. Modelling Weather Dynamics for Weather Derivatives Pricing
Abstract : This thesis focuses on developing an appropriate stochastic model for temperature dynamics as a means of pricing weather derivative contracts based on temperature. There are various methods for pricing weather derivatives ranging from simple one like historical burn analysis, which does not involve modeling the underlying weather variable to complex ones that require Monte Carlo simulations to achieve explicit weather derivatives contract prices, particularly the daily average temperature (DAT) dynamics models.
