The impact of an abandoned mercury mine on the environment in the Xiushan region, Chongqing, southwestern China
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Mercury contamination is a serious problem in the Hg mining area of Xiushan County, Chongqing, southwestern China. The concentrations of total mercury (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) in paddy soil, surface water, and rice ... -
The importance of year-to-year variation in meteorological and runoff forcing for water quality of a temperate, dimictic lake
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Natural stochasticity can pose challenges in managing the quality of the environment, or hinder understanding of the system structure. It is problematic because unfavourable stochastic events cancel management efforts and ... -
The influence of a submerged meadow on uptake and trophic transfer of legacy mercury from contaminated sediment in the food web in a brackish Norwegian fjord
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)There are contradicting results on the importance of legacy mercury (Hg) contaminated sediments to Hg fish tissue concentrations. Still, sediment remediation actions often aim at minimizing ecosystem exposure and human ... -
The influence of permanently submerged macrophytes on sediment mercury distribution, mobility and methylation potential in a brackish Norwegian fjord
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Macrophytes are shown to affect the microbial activity in different aqueous environments, with an altering of the sediment cycling of mercury (Hg) as a potential effect. Here, we investigated how a meadow with permanently ... -
The INtegrated CAtchment model of phosphorus dynamics (INCA-P): Description and demonstration of new model structure and equations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)INCA-P is a dynamic, catchment-scale phosphorus model which has been widely applied during the last decade. Since its original release in 2002, the model structure and equations have been significantly altered during several ... -
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 ... -
