Riverine Plastic Monitoring during the Rainy Season in the Citarum Estuary of Muara Gembong
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The restoration effort to clean up the river, known as "Citarum Harum" requires monitoring to estimate both the composition and the volumes of plastic pollution. The objective of the monitoring is to obtain a scientific ... -
Road de-icing salt: Assessment of a potential new source and pathway of microplastics particles from roads
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Roads are estimated to be the largest source of microplastic particles in the environment, through release of particles from tires, road markings and polymer-modified bitumen. These are all released through the wear and ... -
Road related pollutants induced DNA damage in dragonfly nymphs (Odonata, Anisoptera) living in highway sedimentation ponds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Nowadays, stormwater sedimentation ponds are popular in stormwater management because of their ability to mitigate flooding and treat polluted runoff from e.g. roads. In addition, they may provide other ecosystem services ... -
The Role of Coastal Yedoma Deposits and Continental Shelf Sediments in the Arctic Ocean Silicon Cycle
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The availability of silicon (Si) in the ocean plays an important role in regulating biogeochemical and ecological processes. The Si budget of the Arctic Ocean appears balanced, with inputs equivalent to outputs, though it ... -
The Role of Independent Repair in a Circular and Regenerative Economy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The focus on the transition to a circular economy has contributed to a growing research interest in repair. This paper investigates the role of independent repair, which consists of individuals, organisations, or businesses ... -
The role of photomineralization for CO2 emissions in boreal lakes along a gradient of dissolved organic matter
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Many boreal lakes are experiencing an increase in concentrations of terrestrially derived dissolved organic matter (DOM)—a process commonly labeled “browning.” Browning affects microbial and photochemical mineralization ... -
Roles for advisory science in the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)What role should science take when providing advice in support of policy and politics? Should a provider of science-based advice have its own position on the issues it provides advise on? Or should it be as impartial as ... -
Same same, but different: The response of diatoms to environmental gradients in Fennoscandian streams and lakes – barcodes, traits and microscope data compared
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We developed and compared the performance of freshwater benthic diatom indices calculated from (i) traditional morphological species identification, (ii) Amplicon Sequence Variants (ASVs) obtained via DNA metabarcoding, ... -
Sampling and QA/QC: A Guide for Scientists Investigating the Occurrence of Microplastics Across Matrices
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Plastic pollution is a defining environmental contaminant and is considered to be one of the greatest environmental threats of the Anthropocene, with its presence documented across aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The ... -
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 ... -
Scenedesmus rubescens Heterotrophic Production Strategies for Added Value Biomass
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Microalgae attract interest worldwide due to their potential for several applications. Scenedesmus is one of the first in vitro cultured algae due to their rapid growth and handling easiness. Within this genus, cells exhibit ... -
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 ... -
Scientific rationale and international obligations for protection of active hydrothermal vent ecosystems from deep-sea mining
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)There is increasing interest in mining minerals on the seabed, including seafloor massive sulfide deposits that form at hydrothermal vents. The International Seabed Authority is currently drafting a Mining Code, including ... -
Screening for Stockholm Convention persistent organic pollutants in the Bosna River (Bosnia and Herzogovina)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The Stockholm Convention, which aspires to manage persistent organic pollutants (POPs) at the international level, was recently ratified in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Despite this fact, there is in general a paucity of ... -
Screening of Tire-Derived Chemicals and Tire Wear Particles in a Road Tunnel Wash Water Treatment Basin
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Road tunnels play a crucial role in modern road networks, in both urban and non-urban areas, and necessitate frequent cleaning and washing due to the harsh tunnel environment. As a result, road tunnels are considered hot ... -
Se-enrichment of Chlorella vulgaris grown under different trophic states for food supplementation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Most European countries, including Portugal, have soils with low selenium (Se) concentrations. This mineral has antioxidant and chemoprotective functions essential for the human immune system. Despite Se being mostly ... -
Seasonal and scale-dependent variability in nutrient- and allelopathy-mediated macrophyte-phytoplankton interactions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)macrophyte–phytoplankton interactions were investigated using a dual laboratory and field approach during a growing season, with responses quantified as changes in biomass. Short-term, close-range interactions in laboratory ... -
Seasonal and spatial variations in biomarker baseline levels within Arctic populations of mussels (Mytilus spp.)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Climate change and pollution resulting from human activities in the Arctic require reliable monitoring systems in sentinel species. Mytilus spp. are used as sentinel species all around the world. The use of Mytilus spp. ... -
Seasonal and year-to-year variation of mercury concentration in perch (Perca fluviatilis) in boreal lakes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The authors examined the seasonal and year‐to‐year variations of mercury (Hg) concentrations in populations of perch (Perca fluviatilis) from 2 boreal freshwater lakes in southeast Norway. Fish Hg concentrations were ... -
