    Autonomous vehicles mapping zooplankton and fish

    Autonomous vehicles, gliders, equipped with oceanographic sensors can now be easily deployed from ships to extend a science data collection period, access areas that are challenging to reach with a traditional science cruise vessel or increase the spatial resolution of ocean data. However, for active acoustic data without a parallel data collection with net and trawl data from a ship, it is diffic

    Multiple technologies in North Sea environmental research

    Akvaplan-niva has been leading a mission to collect environmental data near the offshore facilities in the Greater Ekofisk Area, in the North Sea. The mission was part of the Glider II project financed by ConocoPhillips Scandinavia AS. This was a complex collaboration effort between the industry, ConocoPhillips Scandinavia AS and its subcontractor Magseis Fairfield, Akvaplan-niva and the Norwegian

    Miljø DNA - en månelanding innen miljøovervåking

    Hvert år brukes millioner av kroner på å overvåke og kartlegge norsk natur for å kartlegge ulike parasitter i vannmiljø, for eksempel Gyrodactylus salaris. For en mer ressurs-effektiv kartlegging ble det for tre år siden igangsatt et arbeide for å utvikle en løsning for automatisk miljøovervåking ved hjelp av miljø-DNA. Nå i oktober demonstrertede to gjenværende konsortiene i den såkalte før-komme

    Blue Insight - Expanding the digital toolbox to support ocean economies

    Akvaplan-niva has signed a contract with Kongsberg Maritime and ConocoPhillips to further expand the capabilities of the digital infrastructure "Blue Insight" (BI). The aim is to better serve the requirements for ecosystem monitoring that ocean industries meet. The collaboration builds on the established relationship in the GLIDER II project financed by ConocoPhillips. While the first part of the

    Autonomous vehicles for ecosystem monitoring in the Arctic

    New publication from the Akvaplan-niva led GLIDER project recently published in the journal "Sensors". Manager of Digital Solutions at Akvaplan-niva, Lionel Camus, is the first author of the paper.

    Effective ocean management requires integrated and sustainable ocean observing systems enabling us to map and understand ecosystem properties and the effects of human activities. Autonomous subsu

    Blue Insight provides an open, modular platform for the processing, visualisation and sharing of ocean data. The core module contains the cloud framework – which has been built to the highest cyber security standards – and an application-specific dashboard, teamed with data storage and management functionalities. Additional modules can be added to this framework to tailor Blue Insight’s functi

    Our new seaglider a Slocum G3 from Teledyne (https://www.teledyne.com/en-us) is equipped with a propulsion system for navigation in confined areas and shallow waters and is rigged with rechargeable battery. This will be crucial in the coming deployment at Ekofisk offshore platform in the North Sea for the research project GLIDER Phase II financed by ConocoPhillips (https://www.conocophillips.no/).

    Stillingsannonse - Seksjonsleder og 2 teknikere feltinfrastruktur og logistikk (AVSLUTTET)

    Akvaplan-niva har som mål å være i front på bruk av nye teknologiske verktøy og metoder for miljøovervåking i ferskvann og marint miljø.
    En økende utstyrspark og prosjektportefølje gjør at vi har behov for å styrke vår kompetanse innen disse satsingene.
    Vi oppretter derfor en egen seksjon for feltinfrastruktur og logistikk og ser etter seksjonsleder samt 2 teknikere.

    Invitasjon til seminar om offshore industribygging -muligheter og utfordringer

    For femte år på rad inviterer Nord Universitet og Akvaplan-niva til seminar om marin forskning og næringsutvikling. Årets program setter søkelyset på offshore industribygging.
    Utvikling av nye næringsveier som tar i bruk både hav og land medfører et stadig større press på utnyttelsen av arealene. Fiskeriene og olje- og gassindustrien har lært seg å leve sammen på norsk sokkel over en periode på

    Nå i juni ble en ubemannet farkost, også kalt glider satt ut utenfor Bergen. Denne type glider en seilbøye er to meter lang og den skal være ute på havet i 70 dager på oppdrag fra Equinor. Den skal seile til havvindparken Hywind Scotland som ligger utenfor byen Peterhead, nord for Aberdeen. Styrt av en droneoperatør ved Akvaplan-niva skal skal den samle inn datamateriale i en måned. Oppdraget er e

    In cooperation with the Nansen Legacy programme led by UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Akvaplan-niva will contribute to a PhD course during a research cruise to the Northern Barents Sea. The cruise will start in Tromsø on May 14th and end in Tromsø on May 22nd. The key idea behind the cruise is to carry out a detailed characterization of the Polar Front using a combination of traditional and
