Environmental changes off North Iceland during the deglaciation and the Holocene: foraminifera, diatoms and stable isotopes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004-02)A combined study of foraminifera, diatoms and stable isotopes in marine sediments off North Iceland records major changes in sea surface conditions since about 15800 cal years (yr) BP. Results are presented from two gravity ... -
Environmental contaminants activate human and polar bear (Ursus maritimus) pregnane X receptors (PXR, NR1I2) differently
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04-01)Background Many persistent organic pollutants (POPs) accumulate readily in polar bears because of their position as apex predators in Arctic food webs. The pregnane X receptor (PXR, formally NR1I2, here proposed to be named ... -
Environmental contaminants modulate the transcriptional activity of polar bear (Ursus maritimus) and human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARA)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-06)Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alfa (PPARA/NR1C1) is a ligand activated nuclear receptor that is a key regulator of lipid metabolism in tissues with high fatty acid catabolism such as the liver. Here, we cloned ... -

Environmental Drivers of Demersal Fish and Crustacean Community Structure in West Norwegian Fjords
(Master thesis, 2023-09-01)Norwegian fjords, with their complex bathymetry and deep basins, are easily accessible study areas for deep sea communities. Impacts of climate change and increasing pressure from anthropogenic activities on fjord ecosystems, ... -
Environmental drivers of herring growth and how the perception shifts with time series length
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Growth is a key component of population dynamics and, thus, fisheries management, yet drivers of its variations are often poorly understood. Using individual data collected over 80 years, we explored how environmental ... -
Environmental effects of offshore produced water discharges: A review focused on the Norwegian continental shelf
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Produced water (PW), a large byproduct of offshore oil and gas extraction, is reinjected to formations or discharged to the sea after treatment. The discharges contain dispersed crude oil, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ... -
The environmental impact of the Minoan eruption of Santorini (Thera): statistical analysis of palaeoecological data from Golbisar, southwest Turkey
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2002)A tephra layer originating from the mid-second millennium BC (3300 14C yr BP) ‘Minoan’ eruption of Santorini (or Thera) in the Aegean has been found in lake sediments at G6lhisar in southwest Turkey. Microstratigraphic ... -
Environmental impact on host-parasite interactions. A study on the adaptive value of host castration and gigantism when hosts can regain reproduction
(Doctoral thesis, 2011-12-20)The aim of this thesis was to investigate how altering the external environment affects life history strategies of hosts and their parasites, and to gain a better understanding of evolutionary theories on castration and ... -
Environmental manipulation of land-based farmed Arctic charr; effects on growth, feeding and maturation
(Doctoral thesis, 2014-05-08)Farming of Arctic charr takes mainly place in land-based farms applying intensive rearing methods with relatively high production costs. Depending on local conditions at each site, it is possible to regulate important ... -
Environmental Remediation: Removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons Dissertation
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-08-17)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous persistent semi-volatile organic compounds. They are contaminants that are resistant to degradation and can remain in the environment for long periods due to their ... -
Environmental responses to the 9.7 and 8.2 cold events at two ecotonal sites in the Dovre mountains, mid-Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We found strong signals of two cooling events around 9700 and 8200 cal yrs. BP in lakes Store Finnsjøen and Flåfattjønna at Dovre, mid-Norway. Analyses included pollen in both lakes, and C/N-ratio, biomarkers (e.g. alkanes ... -
Environmental stressors may cause unpredicted, notably lagged life-history responses in adults of the planktivorous Atlantic herring
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Here we challenge traditional views on the direction of change in teleost body condition and reproductive traits in response to abiotic and biotic factors by studying the data-rich, planktivorous Norwegian spring-spawning ... -
Environmental variability in the early rearing environment generates behaviourally flexible cod: implications for rehabilitating wild populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2005-06-02)The release of hatchery-reared fishes for restoring threatened and endangered populations is one of the most controversial issues in applied ecology. A central issue has been to determine whether releases cause extinction ... -
An environmentally benign and high-rate Appel type reaction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)A high rate, selective, and productive Appel type reaction was developed. The method allows for ipso-substitution of the alcoholic hydroxy group with halogens ∈ [Cl, Br, I]. The method demands mild reaction conditions that ... -
Environmentally Friendly Synthesis of Biobased Plastic from Lignin Derived Building Blocks to Replace Poly(ethylene Terephthalate) (PET)
(Master thesis, 2017-12-20)The resources of petroleum are decreasing, and new ways have to be found of producing all the energy and chemicals that today are based on petroleum. An alternative to petroleum is renewable biomass, where lignocellulosic ... -
Environmentally realistic concentrations of chlorinated, brominated, and fluorinated persistent organic pollutants induce the unfolded protein response as a shared stress pathway in the liver of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)In the North Sea and North Atlantic coastal areas, fish experience relatively high background levels of persistent organic pollutants. This study aimed to compare the mode of action of environmentally relevant concentrations ... -
Enzymatic and Chemical Syntheses of Vacor Analogs of Nicotinamide Riboside, NMN and NAD
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)It has recently been demonstrated that the rat poison vacor interferes with mammalian NAD metabolism, because it acts as a nicotinamide analog and is converted by enzymes of the NAD salvage pathway. Thereby, vacor is ... -
Enzymes for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)
(Doctoral thesis, 2011-06-30)Primary oil recovery by reservoir pressure depletion and secondary oil recovery by waterflooding usually result in poor displacement efficiency. As a consequence there is always some trapped oil remaining in oil reservoirs. ...
