Detection of environmental DNA from marine invasive species can be done using quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) and droplet digital Polymerase Chain Reaction. Here we compare these two platforms for 17 very different organisms and show that ddPCR provides higher precision and can reduce sample analysis time.

The purpose of the monitoring program is to provide reference data from unaffected water bodies against which impacts can be assessed, to monitor long-term changes in natural conditions and large-scale human impact, and to monitor acidification effects in freshwater in Norway as a result of atmospheric inputs of long-range transported air pollutants.

China is an increasingly central actor in global environmental governance. CHAMBITION aims to elucidate China’s role in international environmental cooperation through examining the positions the country assumes in global environmental governance and the domestic and international drivers accounting for these positions.

ALGECO (Cost-effective algae technology to promote circular economy development of Norwegian wastewater treatment plants) provides a scientific blueprint for a new paradigm of bioeconomy for Norwegian wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). We aim to transform municipal treated wastewater from waste into algae-based products by developing and implementing innovative, cost-effective and viable algae technologies.

The section bridges fundamental knowledge and technology, industry, stakeholders, and consumers. 

Can new filter types provide better results in environmental DNA monitoring? In the SAFIPO project, researchers are investigating whether alternative filters and pore sizes can contribute to better monitoring of environmental DNA.

Using species-specific detection of environmental DNA (abbreviated as ‘eDNA’), we report here on findings in Danish waters of non-indigenous marine species for the period 2017 to 2023.

eDNAqua-Plan is a European consortium project that focuses on the development of a digital ecosystem for reference libraries and data management of eDNA data from aquatic environments. 

NIVA leads the task “Climate and environmental interactions” and will evaluate effects of industrial kelp cultivation on marine ecosystems and assess interactions between cultivated and natural seaweeds.
