On the relationship between climate sensitivity and modelling uncertainty
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Climate model projections are used to investigate the potential impacts of climate change on future weather, agriculture, water resources, human health, the global economy, etc. However, climate projections have a broad ... -
One planet: one health. A call to support the initiative on a global science–policy body on chemicals and waste
(Journal article, 2022)The chemical pollution crisis severely threatens human and environmental health globally. To tackle this challenge the establishment of an overarching international science–policy body has recently been suggested. We ... -
Opinion paper about organic trace pollutants in wastewater: Toxicity assessment in a European perspective
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This opinion paper focuses on the role of eco-toxicological tools in the assessment of possible impacts of emerging contaminants on the aquatic ecosystem, hence, on human health. Indeed, organic trace pollutants present ... -
Opportunities for seasonal forecasting to support water management outside the tropics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Advance warning of seasonal conditions has the potential to assist water management in planning and risk mitigation, with large potential social, economic, and ecological benefits. In this study, we explore the value of ... -
Optical water types of the Nordic Seas and adjacent areas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)A new map of Jerlov's optical water types in the Nordic Seas and adjacent waters at 139 locations, as well as a table with statistical and geographical properties of the vertical attenuation coefficient of downward irradiance ... -
Optimizing the use of quicklime (CaO) for sea urchin management — A lab and field study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Mass blooms of sea urchins sometimes cause kelp forest collapses that can last for decades. Quicklime has historically been used to reverse those conditions, but the efficacy of liming has varied along latitudinal and ... -
Optimum satellite remote sensing of the marine carbonate system using empirical algorithms in the global ocean, the Greater Caribbean, the Amazon Plume and the Bay of Bengal
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Improving our ability to monitor ocean carbonate chemistry has become a priority as the ocean continues to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This long-term uptake is reducing the ocean pH; a process commonly known ... -
Organic Alkalinity as an Important Constituent of Total Alkalinity and the Buffering System in River-To-Coast Transition Zones
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Organic acid-base species in the dissolved organic carbon pool have been shown to make an important contribution (i.e., organic alkalinity; OrgAlk) to the total alkalinity (TA) in many coastal systems. This study documents ... -
Organic chemicals associated with rubber are more toxic to marine algae and bacteria than those of thermoplastics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The current study investigated the chemical complexity of fifty plastic (36) and elastomer/rubber (14) methanol extracts from consumer products, focusing on the association with toxicity in two screening assays (bacteria ... -
Organic nitrogen steadily increasing in Norwegian rivers draining to the Skagerrak coast
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Declining atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition, through reduction in the direct input of inorganic N, may result in less inorganic N being leached from soils to freshwaters (dissolved inorganic N = DIN). Declining sulphur ... -
Original specimens and type localities of early described polychaete species (Annelida) from Norway, with particular attention to species described by O.F. Müller and M. Sars
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Early descriptions of species from Norwegian waters are reviewed, with a focus on the basic requirements for reassessing their characteristics, in particular, by clarifying the status of the original material and locating ... -
Overvann i bebygde strøk - tid for å involvere innbyggerne
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Lokal åpen overvannsdisponering (LOD) er en del av Oslo kommunes strategi for å håndtere overvann. Ved nye boligprosjekter krever kommunen at overvann håndteres på egen tomt, men det finnes ikke lignende krav i bebygde ... -
Overvåking av kransalger i kalksjøer ved Harstad/Narvik lufthavn, Evenes.
(NIVA-rapport;7323, Research report, 2018)Hensikten med oppdraget har vært å foreta undersøkelser av kransalgeforekomst og -status i Langvatn, Lavangsvatn og Kjerkvatn i 2018, samt foreslå et overvåkningsprogram for området. De tre innsjøene inngår i naturreservater ... -
Overview of Integrative Assessment of Marine Systems: The Ecosystem Approach in Practice
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Traditional and emerging human activities are increasingly putting pressures on marine ecosystems and impacting their ability to sustain ecological and human communities. To evaluate the health status of marine ecosystems ... -
Oxidative stress potential of the herbicides bifenox and metribuzin in the microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The widespread presence of herbicides in the aquatic environment has raised awareness about the need to develop further in depth ecotoxicological risk assessments, more specifically on potential effects on photosynthetic ... -
Oxygen dynamics in a boreal lake responds to long-term changes in climate, ice phenology, and DOC inputs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Boreal lakes are impacted by climate change, reduced acid deposition, and changing loads of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from catchments. We explored, using the process-based lake model MyLake, how changes in these ... -
Paper product production identified as the main source of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in a Norwegian lake: Source and historic emission tracking
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The entirety of the sediment bed in lake Tyrifjorden, Norway, is contaminated by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). A factory producing paper products and a fire station were investigated as possible sources. Fire ... -
Parallelism in thermal growth response in otoliths and scales of brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) from alpine lakes independent of genetic background
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Low density in natural populations of salmonids has predominantly been managed by stocking of non‐native conspecifics. Due partly to domestication, introduced non‐native fish may be maladapted under natural conditions. ... -
Parameter sensitivity analysis of a 1-D cold region lake model for land-surface schemes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Lakes might be sentinels of climate change, but the uncertainty in their main feedback to the atmosphere – heat-exchange fluxes – is often not considered within climate models. Additionally, these fluxes are seldom measured, ...
