Variation in population structure and standing stocks of kelp along multiple environmental gradients and implications for ecosystem services
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)There is an increasing focus on ecosystem services provided by macroalgae worldwide, many which depend on its structural and morphological characteristics. Here we investigated how characteristics of canopy kelp plants of ... -
Variations of Drinking Water Quality Influenced by Seasons and Household Interventions: A Case Study from Rural Maharashtra, India
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The majority of people in rural villages in Maharashtra, India, have access to improved drinking water sources. Nevertheless, the water quality at the point of consumption often does not satisfy the drinking water standard. ... -
Vertical mixing and internal wave energy fluxes in a sill fjord
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)We consider the distribution and level of local vertical mixing inside of the Drøbak Sill in the Oslofjord, Norway. The work is motivated by observations of long periods (∼years) of hypoxic or even anoxic conditions in the ... -
Vertical Mixing in Stratified Fjords Near Tidewater Outlet Glaciers Along Northwest Greenland
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Vertical mixing of upper water masses in Arctic fjords is important for circulation and transport of nutrients and heat. However, the distribution of turbulent mixing is poorly known. Here we present hydrographic and ... -
Volcanically hosted venting with indications of ultramafic influence at Aurora hydrothermal field on Gakkel Ridge
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The Aurora hydrothermal system, Arctic Ocean, hosts active submarine venting within an extensive field of relict mineral deposits. Here we show the site is associated with a neovolcanic mound located within the Gakkel Ridge ... -
Vulnerability of Aquatic Insect Species to Insecticides, Depending on Their Flight Period and Adult Life Span
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Effects of insecticides on terrestrial adult life stages of otherwise aquatic insects, such as mayflies (Ephemeroptera), stoneflies (Plecoptera), and caddisflies (Trichoptera), are largely unknown. In the present study, a ... -
Vurdering av biotilgjengelighetsmodeller som verktøy for karakterisering av resipienters sårbarhet for metallforurensing fra veg
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Building, traffic and maintenance of road can lead to increased supply of metals to water bodies. The metals’ physico-chemical speciation and bioavilability toward aquatic organisms depend on water chemical variables such ... -
Wastewater-based estimation of the prevalence of gout in Australia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Allopurinol, a first-line gout treatment drug in Australia, was assessed as a wastewater-based epidemiology biomarker of gout via quantification of the urinary metabolite, oxypurinol in wastewater. The in-sewer stability ... -
Water browning controls adaptation and associated trade-offs in phytoplankton stressed by chemical pollution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The acquisition of tolerance to an environmental stressor can result in organisms displaying slower growth after stress release. While well-grounded in the theory, empirical evidence of the trade-off between stress tolerance ... -
Water Flow Requirements of Post-smolt Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.) Reared in Intensive Seawater Flow-through Systems: A Physiological Perspective
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Environmental challenges related to open sea cage production of Atlantic salmon have sparked interest in developing commercial-scale semi-closed sea systems for post-smolt Atlantic salmon (100–1000 g). Determining the ... -
Water-borne pharmaceuticals reduce phenotypic diversity and response capacity of natural phytoplankton communities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Chemical micropollutants occur worldwide in the environment at low concentrations and in complex mixtures, and how they affect the ecology of natural systems is still uncertain. Dynamics of natural communities are driven ... -
Weathering impacts the uptake of polyethylene microparticles from toothpaste in Mediterranean mussels (M. galloprovincialis)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) were exposed over 21 days to polyethylene (PE) particles (0.01 mg ml−1; 50–570 μm) isolated from toothpaste. PE was deployed in the Outer Oslofjord (Norway) for 21 days, ... -
Weight of evidence tools in the prediction of acute fish toxicity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Acute fish toxicity (AFT) is a key endpoint in nearly all regulatory implementations of environmental hazard assessments of chemicals globally. Although it is an early tier assay, the AFT assay is complex and uses many ... -
Weir building: A potential cost-effective method for reducing mercury leaching from abandoned mining tailings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)To mitigate mercury (Hg) pollution and reduce Hg transportation downstream, a weir was designed across a river system impacted by leachate from the slagheap of the Yanwuping Hg mine in Wanshan Hg mining area. A whole ... -
What Are Lake Beaches Made of? An Assessment of Plastic Beach Litter on the Shores of Como Bay (Italy)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Plastic waste dispersion is a well-recognized environmental threat, despite continuous efforts towards improving waste disposal management over the last few decades. Plastic litter is known to strongly impact upon water ... -
What Is Marine Biodiversity? Towards Common Concepts and Their Implications for Assessing Biodiversity Status
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Biodiversity’ is one of the most common keywords used in environmental sciences, spanning from research to management, natureconservation, and consultancy. Despite this, our understanding of the underlying concepts varies ... -
What is the impact of kelp forest density and/or area on fisheries?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Kelp forests are highly productive ecosystem engineers of rocky cold-water marine coastlines, providing shelter, habitat and food for a variety of associated organisms. Several factors have been related with an observed ... -
