SVALBARDSF-SVALBARDSF

An Arctic Coastal Biodiversity Observation Network (ARC-BON) development workshop

Due to intensified climate warming, the Arctic coasts are rapidly eroding, and the run-off from glaciers and rivers are increasing. Impacts of climate change on land and in the ocean combine in the coastal zone and result in a complex and rapidly changing environment. However, the impacts of this...

PETROLEUM-PETROLEUM

Polar Front ecosystem studies using novel autonomous technologies: Knowledge for environmental management and assessing ecological risk

Environmentally sustainable industry operations require comprehensive ecosystem understanding, safe and effective monitoring technologies, and a reliable data archive for assessing risk and driving management strategies. Perhaps nowhere is this more evident than in sensitive Arctic regions where ...

MARINFORSK-Marine ressurser og miljø

Ecology and management of the invasive snow crab: Predicting expansion, impacts and sustainability in the Arctic under climate change

The snow crab is a large crustacean that has been invading the Barents Sea since 1996. The origin of this invasion is still unknown. The snow crab is both an invasive species that is rapidly expanding eastwards and northwards in the Barents Sea, but also a species of interest for commercial fishe...

PES2020-Prosj.etabl.støtte H2020

Changing Arctic Biodiversity – Drivers and implications (CAB Driver)

Climate change directly impacts ecosystem globally with consequences for societies and their inhabitants. Nowhere is the climate changing faster than in the Arctic. It is arguable, therefore, that this region can serve as an important bellwether for quantifying and mitigating climate change impac...

Awarded: NOK 69,999

PETROMAKS2-Stort program petroleum

Environmental monitoring of Arctic coastal ecosystems: Sensitivity to petroleum pollution (Arctic EcoSens)

Coastal habitats provide important ecosystem services for Norway and Russia, but growing economic activities, including petroleum exploration, production, and shipping, present a higher risk of both chronic and acute pollution. An effective and ecologically relevant 'early-warning' system for mon...

Awarded: NOK 5.1 mill.

Location: Troms - Romsa - Tromssa

MARINFORSK-Marine ressurser og miljø

Combined effects of multiple organic stressors from jellyfish blooms and aquaculture operations on seafloor ecosystems

Ocean health is declining due to a combination of climate warming and human activities, and is often accompanied by a reduction in ecosystem services. This decline is particularly evident in coastal regions where inputs from municipal, agricultural, aquaculture, and industrial sources lead to blo...

NORRUSS-Nordområdene og Russland

Environmental Management of Petroleum activities in the Barents Sea: Norwegian-Russian collaboration (EMAP)

As oil and gas explorations spread into the Arctic there is a pronounced need for a common approach to environmental monitoring. Nowhere is this clearer than in the Barents Sea where international consortia are developing Norwegian and Russian petroleum r esources. This project will take advantag...

HAVKYST-Havet og kysten

Modeling benthic consumption, advection, and carbon subsidies in the Barents Sea

Benthic communities play important roles in the processing of organic carbon on Arctic shelves. These roles affect nutrient availability for phytoplankton; food supply for benthic-feeding fish, seabirds, and mammals; and long-term storage of carbon in sed iments. The dynamic nature and pronounced...
