A National Scale “BioBlitz” Using Citizen Science and eDNA Metabarcoding for Monitoring Coastal Marine Fish
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Marine biodiversity is threatened by human activities. To understand the changes happening in aquatic ecosystems and to inform management, detailed, synoptic monitoring of biodiversity across large spatial extents is needed. ... -
A Neural Network-Based Analysis of the Seasonal Variability of Surface Total Alkalinity on the East China Sea Shelf
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Total alkalinity (AT) is an important variable in the regulation of the seawater carbonate chemistry system, determining the capacity to buffer changes in pH. In the coastal oceans, carbonate system dynamics are controlled ... -
Nordic Blue Carbon Ecosystems: Status and Outlook
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Vegetated coastal and marine habitats in the Nordic region include salt marshes, eelgrass meadows and, in particular, brown macroalgae (kelp forests and rockweed beds). Such habitats contribute to storage of organic carbon ... -
Overview of Integrative Assessment of Marine Systems: The Ecosystem Approach in Practice
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Traditional and emerging human activities are increasingly putting pressures on marine ecosystems and impacting their ability to sustain ecological and human communities. To evaluate the health status of marine ecosystems ... -
Past and Future Grand Challenges in Marine Ecosystem Ecology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020) -
Past, Present and Future Eutrophication Status of the Baltic Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We modelled and assessed the past, present and predicted future eutrophication status of the Baltic Sea. The assessment covers a 350-year period from 1850 to 2200 and is based on: (1) modelled concentrations of dissolved ... -
Phytoplankton Blooms at Increasing Levels of Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide: Experimental Evidence for Negative Effects on Prymnesiophytes and Positive on Small Picoeukaryotes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and the ongoing accumulation in the surface ocean together with concomitantly decreasing pH and calcium carbonate saturation states have the potential to impact phytoplankton ... -
Reevaluating the role of organic matter sources for coastal eutrophication, oligotrophication and ecosystem health
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Organic matter (OM) in aquatic systems is either produced internally (autochthonous OM) or delivered from the terrestrial environment (ter-OM). For eutrophication (or the reverse – oligotrophication), the amount of ... -
Satellite Observations Are Needed to Understand Ocean Acidification and Multi-Stressor Impacts on Fish Stocks in a Changing Arctic Ocean
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)It is widely projected that under future climate scenarios the economic importance of Arctic Ocean fish stocks will increase. The Arctic Ocean is especially vulnerable to ocean acidification and already experiences low pH ... -
Scientific Considerations for the Assessment and Management of Mine Tailings Disposal in the Deep Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Deep-sea tailings disposal (DSTD) and its shallow water counterpart, submarine tailings disposal (STD), are practiced in many areas of the world, whereby mining industries discharge processed mud- and rock-waste slurries ... -
Seasonal Variability of the Carbonate System and Air–Sea CO2 Flux in the Outer Changjiang Estuary, East China Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Three field surveys were conducted in the outer Changjiang Estuary on the inner shelf of the East China Sea in March, July, and October, 2018. Observations of total-scale pH (pHT), total alkalinity (AT), and calculated ... -
Shifts between sugar kelp and turf algae in Norway: regime shifts or flips between different opportunistic seaweed species?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Around year 2000, sugar kelp (Saccharina latissima) forests were observed to disappear in southern parts of Norway, being replaced by mats of turf algae (i.e. filamentous ephemeral algae) loaded with sediments. About 80% ... -
Successful blue economy examples with an emphasis on international perspectives
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Careful definition and illustrative case studies are fundamental work in developing a Blue Economy. As blue research expands with the world increasingly understanding its importance, policy makers and research institutions ... -
Surface microplastics in the Kara Sea: from the Kara Gate to the 83°N
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Despite ongoing research into microplastics pollution in the Arctic Ocean, the region remains underexplored. In the Eurasian Arctic studies mainly focus on the Barents Sea, while there are only limited and variable data ... -
Tales from a thousand and one ways to integrate marine ecosystem components when assessing the environmental status
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Assessing the environmental status of marine ecosystems is useful when communicating key messages to policy makers or the society, reducing the complex information of the multiple ecosystem and biodiversity components and ... -
Terrestrial Inputs Drive Seasonality in Organic Matter and Nutrient Biogeochemistry in a High Arctic Fjord System (Isfjorden, Svalbard)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Climate-change driven increases in temperature and precipitation are leading to increased discharge of freshwater and terrestrial material to Arctic coastal ecosystems. These inputs bring sediments, nutrients and organic ... -
The abundance of kelp is modified by the combined impact of depth, waves and currents
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This study analyses the combined impact of two types of ocean water flow, wave exposure and ocean currents, on kelp Laminaria hyperborea abundance, taking other environmental co-variables into account. The dataset covers ... -
The Effect of Optical Properties on Secchi Depth and Implications for Eutrophication Management
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Successful management of coastal environments requires reliable monitoring methods and indicators. Besides Chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl-a), water transparency measured as Secchi Depth (ZSD) is widely used in Baltic Sea ... -
The kelp cultivation potential in coastal and offshore regions of Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)We have evaluated the cultivation potential of sugar kelp (Saccharina latissima) as a function of latitude and position (near- and offshore) along the Norwegian coast using a coupled 3D hydrodynamic-biogeochemical-kelp ... -
Traditional Dimensions of Seabed Resource Management in the Context of Deep Sea Mining in the Pacific: Learning From the Socio-Ecological Interconnectivity Between Island Communities and the Ocean Realm
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In many of the Pacific Islands, local communities have long-held cultural and spiritual attachments to the sea, in particular to species and specific marine areas, processes, habitats, islands, and natural seabed formations. ...
