Do DOM quality and origin affect the uptake and accumulation of lipid-soluble contaminants in coastal filter feeders? An experimental simulation of teflubenzuron exposure to blue mussels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The increased export of terrestrial dissolved organic matter (terrDOM) to coastal marine ecosystems may affect local filter feeders and the local food web via the altered uptake of organic material and associated contaminants. ... -
Claiming space: Contested coastal commons in Mumbai
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Many of the world’s cities are located on the coast, and coastal ecologies and livelihoods are under increasing pressure from rapid urban transformations and climate change. This necessitates paying attention to how coastal ... -
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 ... -
Extreme flooding controlled by stream network organization and flow regime
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)River floods are among the most common natural disasters worldwide, with substantial economic and humanitarian costs. Despite enormous efforts, gauging the risk of extreme floods with unprecedented magnitude is an outstanding ... -
Compositional breakpoints of freshwater plant communities across continents
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Unravelling patterns and mechanisms of biogeographical transitions is crucial if we are to understand compositional gradients at large spatial extents, but no studies have thus far examined breakpoints in community composition ... -
Browning of Scottish surface water sources exposed to climate change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Levels of dissolved natural organic matter (DNOM) are increasing in our boreal watercourses. This is manifested by an apparent increase in its yellow to brown colour of the water, i.e., browning. Sound predictions of future ... -
Development and testing of a prototype indicator-based tool for identification of potential problem areas for marine litter in Europe's seas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We demonstrate a prototype multi-metric indicator-based assessment tool (i.e. Marine Litter Assessment Tool - MALT) for mapping and identification of ‘problem areas’ and ‘non-problem areas’ regarding the occurrence of ... -
Selection of indicator contaminants of emerging concern when reusing reclaimed water for irrigation — A proposed methodology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Organic and microbial contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), even though not yet regulated, are of great concern in reclaimed water reuse projects. Due to the large number of CECs and their different characteristics, it ... -
A recipe for plastic: expert insights on plastic additives in the marine environment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The production and consumption of plastic products had been steadily increasing over the years, leading to more plastic waste entering the environment. Plastic pollution is ubiquitous and comes in many types and forms. To ... -
Ciona spp. and ascidians as bioindicator organisms for evaluating effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals: A discussion paper
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In context of testing, screening and monitoring of endocrine-disrupting (ED) type of environmental pollutants, tunicates could possibly represent a particularly interesting group of bioindicator organisms. These primitive ... -
The Role of Independent Repair in a Circular and Regenerative Economy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The focus on the transition to a circular economy has contributed to a growing research interest in repair. This paper investigates the role of independent repair, which consists of individuals, organisations, or businesses ... -
Microplastics could be marginally more hazardous than natural suspended solids - A meta-analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Microplastics (MP) are perceived as a threat to aquatic ecosystems but bear many similarities to suspended sediments which are often considered less harmful. It is, therefore pertinent to determine if and to what extent ... -
The technological development of drinking water treatment plants in the Czech Republic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Several actors have an impact on the quality of drinking water, but ultimately drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) play a decisive role in ensuring that water quality complies with public regulations. Several developing ... -
Study of various machine learning approaches for Sentinel-2 derived bathymetry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In recent years precise and up-to-date information regarding seabed depth has become more and more important for companies and institutions that operate on coastlines. While direct, in-situ measurements are performed ... -
Cleaning Up without Messing Up: Maximizing the Benefits of Plastic Clean-Up Technologies through New Regulatory Approaches
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)As the global plastics crisis grows, numerous technologies have been invented and implemented to recover plastic pollution from the environment. Although laudable, unregulated clean-up technologies may be inefficient and ... -
Sustainability conflicts in the blue economy: planning for offshore aquaculture and offshore wind energy development in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Blue economy developments entail an industrialization of the world’s ocean and coastal areas, placing growing pressures on the marine environment and ecosystems. Moreover, the competition for ocean space and resources ... -
Assessment of risk and risk-reducing measures related to the introduction and dispersal of the invasive alien carpet tunicate Didemnum vexillum in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Didemnum vexillum is colonial sea squirt, a marine species which originates from the northwest Pacific; it was first recorded in Norway in November 2020. Didemnum vexillum is an alien species, meaning that it is a species ... -
Three decades of change in the Skagerrak coastal ecosystem, shaped by eutrophication and coastal darkening
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Global coastal ecosystems are under accelerating pressure from human activities and climate change. In this study we explore a long-term time series (mostly 1990–2016) from major Norwegian rivers, together with coastal ... -
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 ... -
