  • Contributions to a Global Ocean Observing System: Uncrewed surface vehicles for monitoring air-sea interactions

    Observing air-sea interactions on a global scale is essential for improving Earth system forecasts. These exchanges are however challenging to quantify. The reasons for this are extreme conditions, remote and under-sampled locations, requirements for the study of a multitude of co-located variables, and high variability of fluxes in space and time. A new publication with contributions from Akvapla

  • Last chance to see? The Central Arctic Ocean on the threshold of change

    Long cold winters, thick year-round sea-ice, and great distances from major logistics centers have kept many secrets regarding the status and processes of the central Arctic Ocean ecosystem. Occasional research cruises, remote sensing technology, models, and our imagination provided the basis for our understanding through the end of the 20th century. Longer navigation seasons due to reduced sea-ic

  • The role of ice algae in the future Arctic carbon cycle - presentation at the Gordon Research Conference

    The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Polar Marine Science took place in Tuscany, Italy, March 9. - 14.. The conference topic was Sea Ice as a Nexus in Polar Seas Between the Ocean and the Atmosphere. Prof Marcel Babin was chairing the conference with Lisa Miller as vice chair.
    Akvaplan-niva was represented by Eva Leu who presented a poster about the role of Melosira arctica in the future A

  • From Sea to Lab- studying the effects from pollutants and stress on marine mammals

    Text by Audrey Youjia Su
    Large marine mammals are some of the most polluted animals on the planet. This is a result of a process known as biomagnification, where chemical pollutants get ingested by small marine organisms and build up in the fatty tissues of larger animals as they move up the food chain. Animals at the top of the chain, such as killer whales, can end up carrying over 100x the ha

  • IceView is the first project to receive financing from the Arctic Phi-Lab

    The Norwegian Geotechnical Institute gets support to develop an application for remote sensing of the coastal ice, called IceView.
    The IceView project is led by the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) with the goal to develop algorithms to continuously map coastal ice using InSAR, a technique that enables observations of small movements from space. The Alfred Wegner Institute in Germany and

  • Stakeholder meeting investigating new methodologies for zooplankton mapping

    A workshop to highlight the use of Calanus finmarchicus as a sustainable resource and ingredient for aquaculture feed took place at Akvaplan-niva January 29th. We invited Ole Petter Pedersen, Scientific Advisor to Calanus AS to discuss our EU funded project on the mapping of zooplankton Calanus. The company Calanus AS, holding the brand name Zooca, is a Norwegian first mover company which has deve

  • Discussing the green transition in the Arctic

    In the side event “License to Operate – The Arctic Energy Transition” at Arctic Frontiers 2025, stakeholders from across sectors joined forces to discuss the challenges lying ahead for the Arctic and the green transition of energy markets in a geopolitically challenging situation.
    By Sverre Ole Drønen, UiB
    The global energy transition is ongoing, but time is short, and stakes are high. Throu

  • The Emerging Leaders program - new perspectives for work and everyday life in the Arctic

    This year Emerging Leader from Akvaplan-niva, Eirik Haugstvedt Henriksen, is born and raised in Tromsø and holds a PhD in biology from UiT The Arctic University of Norway. His expertise is on freshwater biology working with fish and parasite ecology. Eirik is fascinated by the way that parasites are embedded in food webs and provide information on the state and functioning of Arctic ecosystems. Fo

  • Restoration and Development of Low-Trophic Blue Economies in the North

    This year we at Akvaplan-niva started out the first day of the Arctic Frontiers conference arranging a side-event with NIVA, SINTEF Ocean and Ava Ocean. The event had two sub-themes and two panels, focusing on both kelp forest restoration and low-trophic blue economy. The background for the event is that one positive effect of climate change it that the Arctic can offer an increasing potential for
