Characterisation of the bacterial microbiota of a landfill-contaminated confined aquifer undergoing intrinsic remediation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Literature on microbiomes of landfill leachate-contaminated aquifers is scarce despite groundwater contaminations from landfills being common globally. In this study, a combination of microbiological techniques was applied ... -
Environmental factors influencing mercury speciation in Subarctic and Boreal lakes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Environmental drivers of total mercury (TotHg) concentrations, methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations, and MeHg fractions (a proxy for methylation potential, expressed as %MeHg) were assessed in a synoptic study of 51 lakes ... -
Geochemical landscapes as drivers of wildlife reproductive success: Insights from a high-Arctic ecosystem
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The bioavailability of essential and non-essential elements in vegetation is expected to influence the performance of free-ranging terrestrial herbivores. However, attempts to relate the use of geochemical landscapes by ... -
The influence of a submerged meadow on uptake and trophic transfer of legacy mercury from contaminated sediment in the food web in a brackish Norwegian fjord
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)There are contradicting results on the importance of legacy mercury (Hg) contaminated sediments to Hg fish tissue concentrations. Still, sediment remediation actions often aim at minimizing ecosystem exposure and human ... -
The influence of permanently submerged macrophytes on sediment mercury distribution, mobility and methylation potential in a brackish Norwegian fjord
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Macrophytes are shown to affect the microbial activity in different aqueous environments, with an altering of the sediment cycling of mercury (Hg) as a potential effect. Here, we investigated how a meadow with permanently ...
