Inequitable distribution of plastic benefits and burdens on economies and public health
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Plastic heterogeneously affects social systems – notably human health and local and global economies. Here we discuss illustrative examples of the benefits and burdens of each stage of the plastic lifecycle (e.g., macroplastic ... -
Inferring heavy tails of flood distributions through hydrograph recession analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Floods are often disastrous due to underestimation of the magnitude of rare events. Underestimation commonly happens when the magnitudes of floods follow a heavy-tailed distribution, but this behavior is not recognized and ... -
Influence of climate change and pesticide use practices on the ecological risks of pesticides in a protected Mediterranean wetland: A Bayesian network approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Pollution by agricultural pesticides is one of the most important pressures affecting Mediterranean coastal wetlands. Pesticide risks are expected to be influenced by climate change, which will result in an increase of ... -
Influence of dense macrophyte vegetation and total gas saturation on the performance of acoustic telemetry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Acoustic telemetry is widely used as a method for high resolution monitoring of aquatic animal movement to investigate relationships between individual animals and their environment. In shallow freshwater ecosystem, aquatic ... -
Influence of flood risk characteristics on flood insurance demand: a comparison between Germany and the Netherlands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The existence of sufficient demand for insurance coverage against infrequent losses is important for the adequate function of insurance markets for natural disaster risks. This study investigates how characteristics of ... -
The influence of hydrodynamic exposure on carbon storage and nutrient retention in eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) meadows on the Swedish Skagerrak coast
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Cold-temperate seagrass (Zostera marina) meadows provide several important ecosystem services, including trapping and storage of sedimentary organic carbon and nutrients. However, seagrass meadows are rapidly decreasing ... -
Influence of larval transport and temperature on recruitment dynamics of North Sea cod (Gadus morhua) across spatial scales of observation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The survival of fish eggs and larvae, and therefore recruitment success, can be critically affected by transport in ocean currents. Combining a model of early‐life stage dispersal with statistical stock–recruitment models, ... -
Influence of Riverine Input on Norwegian Coastal Systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Coastal ecosystems are of high ecological and socioeconomic importance and are strongly influenced by processes from land, sea, and human activities. In this study, we present physical, chemical, and biological observations ... -
Influence of suspended sediment front on nutrients and phytoplankton dynamics off the Changjiang Estuary: A FVCOM-ERSEM coupled model experiment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)High-turbidity water is a common feature in the estuary and inner shelf. Sediment suspension functions as a modulator that directly influences the interactions among nutrients, phytoplankton and other related ecosystem ... -
Influences of climate change on long-term time series of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in Arctic and Antarctic biota
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Time series of contaminants in the Arctic are an important instrument to detect emerging issues and to monitor the effectiveness of chemicals regulation, based on the assumption of a direct reflection of changes in primary ... -
Innovative reference materials for method validation in microplastic analysis including interlaboratory comparison exercises
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Reference materials (RMs) are vital tools in the validation of methods used to detect environmental pollutants. Microplastics, a relatively new environmental pollutant, require a variety of complex approaches to address ... -
Innsjørestaurering i Tunevannet: Utredning av fosforbindende stoffer
(NIVA-rapport;7285, Research report, 2018)Hovedmålet med denne rapporten er å lage en faglig forankret utredning om hvordan fosforbindende stoffer kan bidra til å bedre vannkvaliteten i Tunevannet. Rapporten skal også gi en oversikt over andre aktuelle ... -
Inorganic carbon promotes photosynthesis, growth, and maximum biomass of phytoplankton in eutrophic water bodies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)1.The traditional perception in limnology has been that phytoplankton biomass in lakes is limited by phosphorus, nitrogen, and light, but not by dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) because CO2 can be supplied from the atmosphere. ... -
Insights from the management of offshore energy resources: Toward an ecosystem-services based management approach for deep-ocean industries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The deep ocean comprises complex ecosystems made up of numerous community and habitat types that provide multiple services that benefit humans. As the industrialization of the deep sea proceeds, a standardized and robust ... -
Insurance engagement in flood risk reduction - Examples from household and business insurance in developed countries
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Insurance can be an important mechanism to stimulate flood risk reduction and thus decrease losses. However, there is a gap between the theoretical potential described by academic scholars and the actual engagement of ... -
Integrated assessment of ecological status and misclassification of lakes: The role of uncertainty and index combination rules
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The European Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires that the ecological status of waterbodies is assessed using multiple biological quality elements (BQEs) that are combined into a single status class. The recommended ... -
Integrated assessment of marine biodiversity status using a prototype indicator-based assessment tool
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Integrated assessment of the status of marine biodiversity is and has been problematic compared to, for example, assessments of eutrophication and contamination status, mostly as a consequence of the fact that monitoring ... -
An integrated biological effects assessment of the discharge water into the Sunndalsfjord from an aluminium smelter
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)An integrated biological effects study using field transplanted mussels was applied to determine the potential biological effects of an effluent discharge from an aluminium smelter into a Norwegian fjord. Chemical body ... -
Integrated biomarker assessment of the effects of tailing discharges from an iron ore mine using blue mussels (Mytilus spp.)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The blue mussel (Mytilus spp.) has been used to assess the potential biological effects of the discharge effluent from the Sydvaranger mine, which releases its tailings into Bøk fjord at Kirkenes in the north of Norway. ... -
Integrated chemical exposure assessment of coastal green turtle foraging grounds on the Great Barrier Reef
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The Great Barrier Reef receives run-off from 424,000 km2 catchment area across coastal Queensland, incorporating diffuse agricultural run-off, and run-off point sources of land-based chemical pollutants from urban and ...
