Ciona spp. and ascidians as bioindicator organisms for evaluating effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals: A discussion paper
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In context of testing, screening and monitoring of endocrine-disrupting (ED) type of environmental pollutants, tunicates could possibly represent a particularly interesting group of bioindicator organisms. These primitive ... -
The Circular Benefits of Participation in Nature-Based Solutions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Nature-based solutions (NbS) provide direct benefits to people who live in areas where these approaches are present. The degree of direct benefits (thermal comfort, reduced flood risk, and mental health) varies across ... -
Claiming space: Contested coastal commons in Mumbai
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Many of the world’s cities are located on the coast, and coastal ecologies and livelihoods are under increasing pressure from rapid urban transformations and climate change. This necessitates paying attention to how coastal ... -
Cleaner air reveals growing influence of climate on dissolved organic carbon trends in northern headwaters
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Surface water browning, the result of increasing concentrations of dissolved organic matter (DOM), has been widespread in northern ecosystems in recent decades. Here, we assess a database of 426 undisturbed headwater lakes ... -
Cleaning Up without Messing Up: Maximizing the Benefits of Plastic Clean-Up Technologies through New Regulatory Approaches
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)As the global plastics crisis grows, numerous technologies have been invented and implemented to recover plastic pollution from the environment. Although laudable, unregulated clean-up technologies may be inefficient and ... -
Climate change, cyanobacteria blooms and ecological status of lakes: A Bayesian network approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Eutrophication of lakes and the risk of harmful cyanobacterial blooms due is a major challenge for management of aquatic ecosystems, and climate change is expected to reinforce these problems. Modelling of aquatic ecosystems ... -
Climate mitigation and intensified forest management in Norway: To what extent are surface waters safeguarded?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)While the role of forestry in mitigating climate change is increasingly subject to political commitment, other areas, such as water protection, may be at risk. In this study, we ask whether surface waters are sufficiently ... -
Climate warming feedback from mountain birch forest expansion: Reduced albedo dominates carbon uptake
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Expanding high elevation and high latitude forest has contrasting climate feedbacks through carbon sequestration (cooling) and reduced surface reflectance (warming), which are yet poorly quantified. Here, we present an ... -
Climatic effects on a cold stenotherm species Lepidurus arcticus (Branchiopoda, Notostraca) on the southern outreach of its distribution range
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)On the Norwegian mainland, the Arctic tadpole shrimp Lepidurus arcticus is a typically alpine species mainly co-occurring with fish. The Hardangervidda mountain plateau is the main area of the southernmost L. arcticus ... -
Co-occurrence, ecological profiles and geographical distribution based on unique molecular identifiers of the common freshwater diatoms Fragilaria and Ulnaria
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Diatom taxonomy has evolved in recent years, with many new species described and new approaches such as molecular genetics showing the existence of cryptic diversity within currently accepted species. This cryptic diversity ... -
CO2 increases C-14 primary production in an Arctic plankton community
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Responses to ocean acidification in plankton communities were studied during a CO2-enrichment experiment in the Arctic Ocean, accomplished from June to July 2010 in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard (78°56′ 2′′ N, 11°53′ 6′′ E). ... -
Coagulation of phosphorous and organic matter from marine, land-based recirculating aquaculture system effluents
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Saline effluents from marine land-based aquaculture production can neither be disposed in common municipal wastewater treatment plants, nor disposed as landfill. Furthermore, stricter environmental regulations require the ... -
COASTAL HABITAT MAPPING WITH UAV MULTI-SENSOR DATA: AN EXPERIMENT AMONG DCNN-BASED APPROACHES
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)With recent abundant availability of high resolution multi-sensor UAV data and rapid development of deep learning models, efficient automatic mapping using deep neural network is becoming a common approach. However, with ... -
Coastal Research Seen Through an Early Career Lens—A Perspective on Barriers to Interdisciplinarity in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The value of interdisciplinarity for solving complex coastal problems is widely recognized. Many early career researchers (ECRs) therefore actively seek this type of collaboration through choice or necessity, for professional ... -
Coastal restoration success via emergent trait-mimicry is context dependent
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Coastal ecosystems provide vital ecosystem functions and services, but have been rapidly degrading due to human impacts. Restoration is increasingly considered key to reversing these losses, but is often unsuccessful. ... -
Cold-tolerant traits that favour northwards movement and establishment of Mediterranean and Ponto-Caspian alien aquatic invertebrates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Over recent decades, many Mediterranean and Ponto-Caspian aquatic invertebrate species have dispersed northwards and established as non-native species in colder regions. We hypothesized that these species have cold-tolerant ... -
Combined and interactive effects of global climate change and toxicants on populations and communities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Increased temperature and other environmental effects of global climate change (GCC) have documented impacts on many species (e.g., polar bears, amphibians, coral reefs) as well as on ecosystem processes and species ... -
Combined effects of human pressures on Europe’s marine ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Marine ecosystems are under high demand for human use, giving concerns about how pressures from human activities may affect their structure, function, and status. In Europe, recent developments in mapping of marine habitats ... -
Combined effects of pharmaceuticals, personal care products, biocides and organic contaminants on the growth of Skeletonema pseudocostatum
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Organisms in the environment are exposed to a number of pollutants from different compound groups. Inaddition to the classic pollutants like the polychlorinated biphenyls, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs),alkylphenols, ... -
