Parameterisation of the Environmental Impacts on Bottom Fauna of Water-based Drilling Fluids and Cuttings - Field and Mesocosm Experiments

In Norway, monitoring surveys aimed at studying possible effects of disturbance on the sediment-dwelling fauna from offshore oil and gas exploration activities and disposal of drill cuttings have been a standard since the early 1970s. Drill cuttings disch arges have caused significant ecological ...

FORURENS-Forurensning

Bayesian network integration of nutrient loading and lake eutrophication models in cost-effectiveness analysis of abatement measures

One of the major problems of water quality in Norway is eutrophication, which tends to occur in low-lying areas, particularly near urban areas and agricultural land. Due to the gravity of the situation, authorities and the local population demand effectiv e countermeasures, which in turn require ...
