We are excited to announce the dates for this year’s event organized by the Norwegian Blue Forests Network. When: Spring 2020 Where: Oslo, Norway (Venue TBC) What: An arena to stimulate knowledge-exchange and discussions for a knowledge-based and future oriented…
Tekna Havbruk og fiskehelse Bli med på et faglig dypdykk om taredyrking og karbonlagring! Taredyrking pekes på en som en av vekstnæringen i havbrukbransjen, men kan taredyrking også bidra til at Norge reduserer sine klimagassutslipp? Med storskalaproduksjon av rasktvoksende tare…
I tre intense dager var 16 forskere fra Europa, Australia og USA samlet i Granada for å diskutere makroalgenes rolle i det globale karbonbudsjettet. Fra Blå skog-nettverket stilte NIVAs Kasper Hancke og Hege Gundersen, samt Karen Filbee-Dexter fra HI. Det…
This task has been executed by Kasper Hancke, Gunhild Borgersen, Anders Ruus and Marc Anglès d’Auriac at NIVA. The Nordic Blue Carbon (“Blått-karbon”) project was co-funded by The Norwegian Network for Blue Forests (NBFN.no) to increase the initial sample size…
Despite the wealth of marine forests throughout the Nordics, we are yet to exploit their potential role in combating climate change. Here’s what we need to do. Research suggests that are many reasons to fall in love with marine forests,…
Kelp forests and seagrass meadows soak up carbon dioxide and help protect our coasts against rising seas. Just two reasons why we should learn to love our marine forests. Marine forests are really something rather special, and we don’t just…
The Nordic Blue Carbon project aims to make an updated overview of carbon cycles of kelp, eelgrass and rockweed in Nordic marine waters. This report represents the annual report of the Blue Carbon project in 2017, and presents preliminary…
Havforsuring påvirker planter og dyr i sjøen på ulike måter. Nå viser det seg at vår vanligste tare faktisk vil kunne trives godt i et surere hav. I det moderne samfunnet vårt slipper vi ut store mengder CO2 til atmosfæren. Utslippene…
Climate change, including acidification of the oceans, will likely affect many of the plants and animals in our sea and oceans. Fresh research results indicate that kelp could be favoured by some of the changes. Large amounts of carbon dioxide…
On Wednesday 11th September, Hartvig Christie and Hege Gundersen were interviewed at NRK Ekko about the status of kelp forests in Norway and the role of blue forests in carbon uptake. Kelp forests along the Norwegian coast are slowly growing…
