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. ... -
Mercury in the submerged macrophytes Potamogeton crispus and Chara virgate from the brackish, industrial affected Gunneklevfjorden, southern Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Kvikksølv i krustjønnaks Potamogeton crispus og kransalgen Chara virgate i Gunneklevfjorden, en industripåvirket brakkvannsfjord i Norge. Total kvikksølv (Tot-Hg) og metylkvikksølv (Met-Hg) ble analysert månedlig fra mai ... -
Mercury–Organic Matter Interactions in Soils and Sediments: Angel or Devil?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Many studies have suggested that organic matter (OM) substantially reduces the bioavailability and risks of mercury (Hg) in soils and sediments; however, recent reports have supported that OM greatly accelerates Hg methylation ... -
Meta-analysis of multidecadal biodiversity trends in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Local biodiversity trends over time are likely to be decoupled from global trends, as local processes may compensate or counteract global change. We analyze 161 long-term biological time series (15–91 years) collected ... -
Metabolism Modeling in Rivers With Unsteady Flow Conditions and Transient Storage Zones
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Whole-stream metabolism characterizes energy and carbon transformations, thus providing an estimate of the food base and CO2 emission sources from streams and rivers. Metabolism models are generally implemented with a ... -
Methods for determining the geographical origin and age of beach litter: Challenges and opportunities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Beach litter analysis is a cost-effective tool to identify litter sources and subsequent management actions. However, standard beach litter protocols are not generally developed to identify litter's origins and age. Data ... -
