A 1-Dimensional Sympagic–Pelagic–Benthic Transport Model (SPBM): Coupled Simulation of Ice, Water Column, and Sediment Biogeochemistry, Suitable for Arctic Applications
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Marine biogeochemical processes can strongly interact with processes occurring in adjacent ice and sediments. This is especially likely in areas with shallow water and frequent ice cover, both of which are common in the ... -
Assessing the benefits of forested riparian zones: A qualitative index of riparian integrity is positively associated with ecological status in European streams
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Developing a general, predictive understanding of ecological systems requires knowing how much structural and functional relationships can cross scales and contexts. Here, we introduce the CROSSLINK project that investigates ... -
Benthic Diatom Communities in Urban Streams and the Role of Riparian Buffers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Urbanization impacts stream ecosystems globally through degraded water quality, altered hydrology, and landscape disturbances at the catchment and riparian scales, causing biodiversity losses and altered system functioning. ... -
CDOM absorption properties of natural water bodies along extreme environmental gradients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)We present absorption properties of colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) sampled in six different water bodies along extreme altitudinal, latitudinal, and trophic state gradients. Three sites are in Norway: the mesotrophic ... -
Comparing three approaches to estimating optimum white water kayak flows in Western Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Modern water management strategies aim to assess the impact of water regulation alternatives on all relevant ecosystem services, including white water (WW) recreation. Therefore it is important to estimate the ... -
Distinguishing between Sources of Natural Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) Based on Its Characteristics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Increasing levels of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in watercourses in the northern hemisphere are mainly due to reduced acid rain, climate change, and changes in agricultural practices. However, their impacts vary in time ... -
Forested Riparian Zones Provide Important Habitat for Fish in Urban Streams
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Riparian zones form a boundary between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, with disproportionate influences on food web dynamics and ecosystem functioning in both habitats. However, riparian boundaries are frequently ... -
Geochemical Markers as a Tool for the Characterization of a Multi-Layer Urban Aquifer: The Case Study of Como (Northern Italy)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The analysis of geochemical markers is a known valid tool to explore the water sources and understand the main factors affecting natural water quality, which are known issues of interest in environmental science. This study ... -
Growth and Nutrient Uptake Characteristics of Heterosigma akashiwo (Raphidophyceae) under Nitrogen and Phosphorus Concentrations in the East China Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Heterosigma akashiwo is classified as a harmful algal bloom (HAB) species that frequently occurs in eutrophic coastal waters and results in the contamination and mortality of fish and shellfish. The growth of H. akashiwo ... -
How to Enhance the Role of Science in European Union Policy Making and Implementation: The Case of Agricultural Impacts on Drinking Water Quality
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Throughout the European Union (EU), high concentrations of nitrates and pesticides are among the major polluting components of drinking water and have potential long-term impacts on the environment and human health. Many ... -
The Impact of Methane Seepage on the Pore-Water Geochemistry across the East Siberian Arctic Shelf
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)East Siberian Arctic Shelf, the widest and the shallowest shelf of the World Ocean, covering greater than two million square kilometers, has recently been shown to be a significant modern source of atmospheric methane ... -
Impacts of Riverine Floods on Morphodynamics in the Yellow River Delta
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The geomorphological stability and ecological environment of megadeltas worldwide are of vital importance for their sustainable development. Deltaic hydro-morphodynamics is extremely sensitive to high riverine flow due to ... -
Laboratory Development of an AI System for the Real-Time Monitoring of Water Quality and Detection of Anomalies Arising from Chemical Contamination
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Monitoring water quality is critical for mitigating risks to human health and the environment. It is also essential for ensuring high quality water-based and water-dependent products and services. The monitoring and detection ... -
Land Use Change to Reduce Freshwater Nitrogen and Phosphorus will Be Effective Even with Projected Climate Change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Recent studies have demonstrated that projected climate change will likely enhance nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) loss from farms and farmland, with the potential to worsen freshwater eutrophication. Here, we investigate ... -
Machine learning approaches for predicting health risk of cyanobacterial blooms in Northern European Lakes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Cyanobacterial blooms are considered a major threat to global water security with documented impacts on lake ecosystems and public health. Given that cyanobacteria possess highly adaptive traits that favor them to prevail ... -
