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
Claudia Halsband from Akvaplan-niva participates in joint Korea-Norway seminar and photo exhibition om marine litter in the Arctic. The background for this hybrid event is that the Arctic is considered a pristine area, but as everywhere else in the world, the problem of marine littering is getting increasingly visible and poses a threat to marine and coastal ecosystems in the region. We need to un
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
26. og 27. oktober arrangerer Statsforvalteren i Møre og Romsdal og Møre og Romsdal fylkeskommune den nasjonale plankonferansen – Kampen om sjøareala. Lars-Olav Sparboe fra Akvaplan-niva er blant innlederne på konferansen. Tittelen på hans foredrag er: "Nye artar til oppdrett - arealbehov, miljøomsyn, samfunnsinteresser.
For å vite hvordan vi skal nytte sjøarealene våre på den rette måten, er d
Equinor, operator of the world’s first floating offshore wind farm, Hywind Scotland, has pioneered a novel method of data collection for offshore wind, using an autonomous Sailbuoy.
Powered by the wind and sun, the glider travelled on its own from Bergen, Norway, to the wind farm just off the coast of Peterhead, Scotland, where it used acoustic sensors to map fish presence and biomass quantity.
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/).
Marie Sjøblom defended her thesis on foraminifera in Barents Sea soft-bottom sediments in relation to the invasive snow crab, Chionoecetes opilio, on September 14, 2021 at Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo. Her supervisor was Prof. Elisabeth Alve at UiO. The study was carried out within the frame of the RCN-funded project EISA run by NIVA and Akvaplan-niva. The process addresses effect
The Barents Sea is a high-latitude shelf ecosystem with important fisheries, high and historically variable harvesting pressure, and ongoing high variability in climatic conditions.
To quantify carbon flow pathways and assess if changes in harvesting intensity and climate variability have affected the Barents Sea ecosystem. A team has modelled the ecosystem for the period 1950–2013 using a hig
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.
Den første lørdagen i oktober deltar Akvaplan-niva med to ulike aktiviteter under Framsenterets forskningstorg på Polaria i forbindelse med Forskningsdagene. I tillegg til stands med ulike aktiviteter så blir det også mulig oppleve Polarias utstillinger og aktiviteter.

I sommer var Lovise Pedersen Skogeng (NILU – Norsk institutt for luftforskning), Kjetil Sagerup (Akvaplan-niva) og Geir Wing Gabrielsen (Norsk Polarinstitutt) på feltarbeid i Kongsfjorden på Svalbard. Hovedformålet med oppholdet var datainnsamling til NFR-prosjektet COPE (Integrated Risk Assessment Framework for Evaluating the Combined Impacts of Multiple Pressures on Arctic Ecosystems). Prosjekte
This workshop will link new research outcomes with examples of PFAS use, human exposure and waste handling. It will also explore how to limit PFAS use to support more effective decision-making tools to protect human health and environmental sustainability.
PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are used in a large number of applications, including polymer manufacturing, cosmetics and per
