Long-term response of marine benthic fauna to thin-layer capping with powdered activated carbon in the Grenland fjords, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The Grenland fjords in Norway have a long history of contamination by large emissions of dioxins and mercury. As a possible sediment remediation method in situ, thin-layer capping with powdered activated carbon (AC) mixed ... -
Long-term rise in riverine dissolved organic carbon concentration is predicted by electrolyte solubility theory
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The riverine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) flux is of similar magnitude to the terrestrial sink for atmospheric CO2, but the factors controlling it remain poorly determined and are largely absent from Earth system models ... -

Long-term temporal and spatial trends in eutrophication status of the Baltic Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Much of the Baltic Sea is currently classified as ‘affected by eutrophication’. The causes for this are twofold. First, current levels of nutrient inputs (nitrogen and phosphorus) from human activities exceed the natural ... -
Machine learning approaches for predicting health risk of cyanobacterial blooms in Northern European Lakes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Cyanobacterial blooms are considered a major threat to global water security with documented impacts on lake ecosystems and public health. Given that cyanobacteria possess highly adaptive traits that favor them to prevail ... -
Machine Learning Combined with Non-targeted LC-HRMS Analysis for a Risk Warning System of Chemical Hazards in Drinking Water: A Proof of Concept
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Guaranteeing clean drinking water to the global population is becoming more challenging, because of the cases of water scarcity across the globe, growing population, and increased chemical footprint of this population. ... -
Macrofaunal colonization of mine tailings impacted sediments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)An experiment was conducted to study and compare macrofaunal colonization of thin layers of mine tailings. Experimental boxes filled with marine sediments capped with mine tailings were placed on the seabed and subject to ... -
Macroinvertebrate communities along the main stem and tributaries of a pre-Alpine river: composition responds to altitude, richness does not
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We collected quantitative macroinvertebrate samples and measured environmental and geographical parameters at 13 sites: six along the main stem and seven in tributaries close to the main channel over a 700 m gradient in ... -
Macrophytes as habitat for fish
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)As different macrophyte habitats house different distributions of invertebrates, we questioned if differences in the composition of fish in these habitats also could be identified. Additionally, we addressed the question ... -
Making waves. Bridging theory and practice towards multiple stressor management in freshwater ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Despite advances in conceptual understanding, single-stressor abatement approaches remain common in the management of fresh waters, even though they can produce unexpected ecological responses when multiple stressors ... -
Management of PFAS with the Aid of Chemical Product Registries — An Indispensable Tool for Future Control of Hazardous Substances
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The Nordic countries are in the forefront of international chemical regulation and management by actively developing the domestic policy framework, while simultaneously pushing for more stringent control internationally. ... -
Management of Urban Waters with Nature-Based Solutions in Circular Cities—Exemplified through Seven Urban Circularity Challenges
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have been proven to effectively mitigate and solve resource depletion and climate-related challenges in urban areas. The COST (Cooperation in Science and Technology) Action CA17133 entitled ... -
Mantoniella beaufortii and Mantoniella baffinensis sp. nov. (Mamiellales, Mamiellophyceae), two new green algal species from the high arctic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Members of the class Mamiellophyceae comprise species that can dominate picophytoplankton diversity in polar waters. Yet, polar species are often morphologically indistinguishable from temperate species, although clearly ... -
Mapping global human dependence on marine ecosystems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Many human populations are dependent on marine ecosystems for a range of benefits, but we understand little about where and to what degree people rely on these ecosystem services. We created a new conceptual model to map ... -
Mapping of contamination problem areas in Europe’s seas using a multi-metric indicator-based assessment tool
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)We report identification and mapping of areas in Europe’s seas and coastal areas impacted by contaminants, i.e., areas with concentrations above internationally agreed threshold values. The study is based on (1) a ... -
Mapping of marine benthic invertebrates in the Oslofjord and the Skagerrak: sampling data of museum collections from 1950–1955 and from recent investigations
(Journal article, 2015)Data from large sampling programmes for the mapping of marine invertebrates in the Oslofjord, Norway, and the Skagerrak, spanning more than six decades, are compiled and digitized to provide easy access in modern data ... -
Marine ecotoxicity of nitramines, transformation products of amine-based carbon capture technology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)In the context of reducing CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, chemical absorption with amines is emerging as the most advanced technology for post-combustion CO2 capture from exhaust gases of fossil fuel power plants. Despite ... -
Marine heatwave impacts on newly-hatched planktonic larvae of an estuarine crab
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Climate change is imposing constant and more severe environmental challenges to coastal and marine species. Regional climate and species acclimation capacity determine the communities’ ecological response to stressors. ... -
Marine invasive alien species in Europe: 9 years after the IAS Regulation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Biological invasions, resulting from human activities, exert substantial impacts on ecosystems worldwide. This review focuses on marine invasive alien species (IAS) in Europe, examining the current state, proposing strategies ... -
Marine litter distribution and density in European seas, from the shelves to deep basins
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Anthropogenic litter is present in all marine habitats, from beaches to the most remote points in the oceans. On the seafloor, marine litter, particularly plastic, can accumulate in high densities with deleterious consequences ...
