Exposure as a factor for primary and secundary production in a kelp forest

It is a well established fact that kelp forest are highly productive areas, with an annual production about 10 times of what might be found in phytoplankton dominated waters. Resent research have also shown that kelp is an important carbon source for many animals in these areas. However, few ani...

NORKLIMA-Klimaendringer og konsekvenser for Norge

Climate effects of reducing black carbon emissions

Processes leading to emissions of black carbon (BC) aerosols from incomplete combustion affect the Earth’s climate through several forcing mechanisms: Direct absorption of sunlight, a semi-direct effect on clouds, by deposition on snow and ice thus changi ng the surface albedo, and through associ...

3 - Effects of produced water to Atlantic cod: Mechanistic studies and biomarker development with proteomics based methods.

Effects of contaminants on an organism start at the molecular level, and are transferred to higher levels of biological organization if the exposure is persistent and toxicological repair is overwhelmed. Long-term effects of produced water on the reproduc tion of Atlantic cod can therefore be stu...
