Nordic Blue Carbon Ecosystems: Status and Outlook
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Vegetated coastal and marine habitats in the Nordic region include salt marshes, eelgrass meadows and, in particular, brown macroalgae (kelp forests and rockweed beds). Such habitats contribute to storage of organic carbon ... -
The NORMAN Association and the European Partnership for Chemicals Risk Assessment (PARC): let’s cooperate!
(Others, 2020)The Partnership for Chemicals Risk Assessment (PARC) is currently under development as a joint research and innovation programme to strengthen the scientific basis for chemical risk assessment in the EU. The plan is to ... -
A novel method for the quantification of tire and polymer-modified bitumen particles in environmental samples by pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectroscopy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Tire and road wear particles may constitute the largest source of microplastic particles into the environment. Quantification of these particles are associated with large uncertainties which are in part due to inadequate ... -
De novo Development of a Quantitative Adverse Outcome Pathway (qAOP) Network for Ultraviolet B (UVB) Radiation Using Targeted Laboratory Tests and Automated Data Mining
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation is a natural non-chemical stressor posing potential hazards to organisms such as planktonic crustaceans. The present study was conducted to revisit the lethal effects of UVB on crustaceans, ... -
Nuisance growth of Juncus bulbosus: the roles of genetics and environmental drivers tested in a large-scale survey
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)1. Invasive species can transform aquatic ecosystems, and the nuisance growth of the freshwater macrophyte Juncus bulbosus has become a problem in many lakes and rivers in northern Europe. It affects biodiversity strongly ... -
Nutrient criteria for surface waters under the European Water Framework Directive: Current state-of-the-art, challenges and future outlook
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The aim of European water policy is to achieve good ecological status in all rivers, lakes, coastal and transitional waters by 2027. Currently, more than half of water bodies are in a degraded condition and nutrient ... -
Nutrient retention by the littoral vegetation of a large lake: Can Lake Ohrid cope with current and future loading?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Nitrogen and phosphorus budgets were compiled for the littoral (29 km2) and pelagic (329 km2) of ancient, deep, clear, and hard water Lake Ohrid (Albania and North Macedonia), to assess the importance of the littoral in ... -
Observation of Floating Inorganic Macro-debris in The Downstream Citarum River using Manual Counting
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Inorganic Macro-debris (IMD) such as plastics can negatively affect aquatic life and human wellbeing. Information about IMD transport in river systems is required to optimize prevention, mitigation, and reduction strategies. ... -
Observations of turbulence caused by a combination of tides and mean baroclinic flow over a fjord sill
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)This study investigates the dissipation rates and flow conditions at the Drøbak Sill in the Oslofjord. The area was transected 13 times with a free-falling microstructure shear probe during 4 days in June 2011. At the same ... -
Observing Temporally Varying Synoptic-Scale Total Alkalinity and Dissolved Inorganic Carbon in the Arctic Ocean
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The long-term absorption by the oceans of atmospheric carbon dioxide is leading to the slow decline of ocean pH, a process termed ocean acidification (OA). The Arctic is a challenging region to gather enough data to examine ... -
Occurrence and distribution of Pseudoscalibregma and Scalibregma (Annelida, Scalibregmatidae) in the deep Nordic Seas, with the description of Scalibregma hanseni n. sp.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Until recent years, only a few scalibregmatid species have been known from the Nordic Seas, largely from shelf and coastal waters. Access to a large collection from deep areas has made it possible to provide more knowledge ... -
Occurrence and trophic transport of organic compounds in sedimentation ponds for road runoff
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Sedimentation ponds have been shown to accumulate several groups of contaminants, most importantly polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) and metals. But also, other urban organic pollutants have shown to be present, including ... -
Occurrence of tire and road wear particles in urban and peri-urban snowbanks, and their potential environmental implications
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)According to estimates put forward in multiple studies, tire and road wear particles are one of the largest sources to microplastic contamination in the environment. There are large uncertainties associated with local ... -
Occurrence of UV filters, fragrances and organophosphate flame retardants in municipal WWTP effluents and their removal during membrane post-treatment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Membrane filtration using ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF) or reverse osmosis (RO) membranes was evaluated as an efficient effluent polishing step at municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) for the removal ... -
