Anthropogenic impact on marine ecosystem health: A comparative multi-proxy investigation of recent sediments in coastal waters
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Hazardous substances entering the sea, and ultimately deposited in bottom sediments, pose a growing threat to marine ecosystems. The present study characterized two coastal areas exposed to significant anthropogenic impact ... -
Biodegradation of weathered crude oil in seawater with frazil ice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)As ice extent in the Arctic is declining, oil and gas activities will increase, with higher risk of oil spills to the marine environment. To determine biotransformation of dispersed weathered oil in newly formed ice, oil ... -
Blood and feather concentrations of toxic elements in a Baltic and an Arctic seabird population
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Wereport blood and feather concentrations of elements in the Baltic Sea and Arctic population of common eiders (Somateria mollissima). The endangered Baltic Sea population of eiders was demonstrably affected by element ... -
Comparison of two field systems for determination of crude oil biodegradation in cold seawater
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Marine oil spills have devastating environmental impacts and extrapolation of experimental fate and impact data from the lab to the field remains challenging due to the lack of comparable field data. In this work we compared ... -
Distribution pattern of mercury in northern Barents Sea and Eurasian Basin surface sediment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Marine sediment is a significant sink for the global pollutant mercury. In a rapidly changing Arctic region, mercury (Hg) bioaccumulation in the marine ecosystem remains a prominent environmental issue. Here, we report ... -
Effects of chemical dispersants on feathers from Arctic seabirds
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Chemical dispersion is an oil spill response strategy where dispersants are sprayed onto the oil slick to enhance oil dispersion into the water. However, accidental application could expose seabirds to dispersants, thereby ... -
An impact-based environmental risk assessment model toolbox for offshore produced water discharges
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We present a novel approach to environmental risk assessment of produced water discharges based on explicit impact and probability, using a combination of transport, fate and toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic models within a ... -
Measurements of underwater noise radiated by commercial ships at a cabled ocean observatory
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Measurements of underwater noise radiated under ship normal operations are presented. The acoustic data, from the cabled ocean observatory, are analyzed under each identified ship passage, which was obtained by the Automatic ... -
Microbial communities in seawater from an Arctic and a temperate Norwegian fjord and their potentials for biodegradation of chemically dispersed oil at low seawater temperatures
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Biodegradation of chemically dispersed oil at low temperature (0–2 °C) was compared in natural seawater from Arctic (Svalbard) and a temperate (Norway) fjords. The oil was premixed with a dispersant (Corexit 9500) and ... -
Microbial community and metagenome dynamics during biodegradation of dispersed oil reveals potential key-players in cold Norwegian seawater
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Oil biodegradation as a weathering process has been extensively investigated over the years, especially after the Deepwater Horizon blowout. In this study, we performed microcosm experiments at 5 °C with chemically dispersed ... -
Microplastic dispersal behavior in a novel overhead stirring aqueous exposure system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Using nominal dose metrics to describe exposure conditions in laboratory-based microplastic uptake and effects studies may not adequately represent the true exposure to the organisms in the test system, making data ... -
Modelling of oil thickness in the presence of an ice edge
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Oil slick thickness is a key parameter for the behaviour of oil spilled at sea. It influences evaporation and entrainment, viable response options, and the risk to marine life at the surface. Determining this value is ... -
Multi-stakeholder perspective to generate evidence and strategies for sustainable management of ropes from the fishing sector of Norway.

New insights into submarine tailing disposal for a reduced environmental footprint: Lessons learnt from Norwegian fjords
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Submarine tailing disposal (STD) in fjords from land-based mines is common practice in Norway and takes place in other regions worldwide. We synthesize the results of a multidisciplinary programme on environmental impacts ... -
On the use of random walk schemes in oil spill modelling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In oil spill models, vertical mixing due to turbulence is commonly modelled by random walk. If the eddy diffusivity varies with depth, failing to take the derivative of the diffusivity into account in the random walk scheme ... -
Retrieval operations of derelict fishing gears give insight on the impact on marine life
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Abandoned, lost and discarded fishing gear (ALDFG), significantly impacts marine ecosystems and biodiversity by incidental capture known as ghost fishing. Such impacts were quantified during the Norwegian Directorate of ...
