Marine litter: One of the major threats for marine mammals. Outcomes from the European Cetacean Society workshop
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Marine litter is a pollution problem affecting thousands of marine species in all the world's seas and oceans. Marine litter, in particular plastic, has negative impacts on marine wildlife primarily due to ingestion and ... -
Marine phytoplankton community data and corresponding environmental properties from eastern Norway, 1896–2020
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Time series are essential for studying the long-term effects of human impact and climatic changes on the natural environment. Although data exist, no long-term phytoplankton dataset for the Norwegian coastal area has been ... -
The Marine Plastic Litter Issue: A Social-Economic Analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The issue of marine plastic litter pollution is multifaceted, cross-sectoral, and ongoing in the absence of appropriate management measures. This study analysed the issue of marine plastic litter pollution in the context ... -
Marine primary producers in a darker future: a meta-analysis of light effects on pelagic and benthic autotrophs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The availability of underwater light, as primary energy source for all aquatic photoautotrophs, is (and will further be) altered by changing precipitation, water turbidity, mixing depth, and terrestrial input of chromophoric ... -
Marine Spatial Planning in the North Sea – Are National Policies and Legal Structures Compatible Enough? The Case of Norway and the Netherlands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Marine spatial planning is an important tool to achieve a more ecosystem-based governance approach to marine ecosystems. Marine ecosystems often transcend national jurisdictional boundaries, so the compatibility of national ... -
Mass aggregations of Bibio pomonae (Insecta: Diptera: Bibionidae), an indication of climate change?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Examination of stomach contents of the brown trout is a sensitive method to evaluate the animals occurring in a lake and its surroundings. Yearly test fishing from Lake Sandvatn at the Hardangervidda Mountain plateau in ... -
Mass spectrometric strategies for the investigation of biomarkers of illicit drug use in wastewater
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The analysis of illicit drugs in urban wastewater is the basis of wastewater‐based epidemiology (WBE), and has received much scientific attention because the concentrations measured can be used as a new non‐intrusive tool ... -
Material Flow for the Intentional Use of Mercury in China
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Intentional use of mercury (Hg) is an important contributor to the release of Hg into the environment. This study presents the first inventory of material flow for intentional use of Hg in China. The total amount of Hg ... -
Maternal transfer and occurrence of siloxanes, chlorinated paraffins, metals, PFAS and legacy POPs in herring gulls (Larus argentatus) of different urban influence
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Urban herring gulls (Larus argentatus) are exposed to contaminants from aquatic, terrestrial and anthropogenic sources. We aim to assess if differences in urbanisation affect ecological niche and contaminant concentrations ... -
Measurement of naphthenic acids in the receiving waters around an offshore oil platform by passive sampling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Polar organic chemical integrative samplers (POCIS) were deployed in the vicinity of an offshore oil installation and analyzed for naphthenic acids (NAs). The POCIS accumulated a range of mono‐ to tetracyclic NAs, with ... -
Measuring riverine macroplastic: Methods, harmonisation, and quality control
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)River systems are a key environmental recipient of macroplastic pollution. Understanding the sources of macroplastic to rivers and the mechanisms controlling fate and transport is essential to identify and tailor measures ... -
Mechanical removal of macrophytes in freshwater ecosystems: Implications for ecosystem structure and function
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Macrophytes are generally considered a nuisance when they interfere with human activities. To combat perceived nuisance, macrophytes are removed, and considerable resources are spent every year worldwide on this practice. ... -
Membrane bioreactors (MBRs): Activated sludge filterability and full-scale MBR functioning
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Despite continuous developments in the field of MBR technology, membrane fouling together with the associated energy demand and related costs issues remain major challenges. The efficiency of the filtration process in an ... -
Membrane bioreactors - A review on recent developments in energy reduction, fouling control, novel configurations, LCA and market prospects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology is considered a well-established, mature technology with many full-scale plants around the world treating municipal and industrial wastewater. However, membrane fouling and energy ... -
Mercury concentration trend as a possible result of changes in cod population demography
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Mercury (Hg) in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is one of many parameters that are monitored through OSPAR's Joint Assessment and Monitoring Programme. Time series for cod in the Inner Oslofjord (Norway) go back to 1984. Until ... -
Mercury in air and soil on an urban-rural transect in East Africa
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)There are large knowledge gaps concerning concentrations, sources, emissions, and spatial trends of mercury (Hg) in the atmosphere in developing regions of the Southern Hemisphere, particularly in urban areas. Filling these ... -
Mercury in fish from Norwegian lakes: The complex influence of aqueous organic carbon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Mercury (Hg) concentrations in water and biota are often positively correlated to organic matter (OM), typically measured as total or dissolved organic carbon (TOC/DOC). However, recent evidence suggests that higher OM ... -
Mercury in the Barents region – River fluxes, sources, and environmental concentrations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Arctic rivers are receiving increased attention for their contributing of mercury (Hg) to the Arctic Ocean. Despite this, the knowledge on both the terrestrial release sources and the levels of Hg in the rivers are limited. ... -
