      Trannum, Hilde C; Pedersen, Kristine B.; Renaud, Paul E; Christensen, Guttorm N.; Evenset, Anita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-22)
      Deposition of large volumes of mine tailings takes place in several Norwegian fjords, but the impacts on marine ecosystems have received relatively little scientific attention. At a 40 + − year old tailing deposition area for a copper mine in the Arctic fjord Repparfjorden, we investigated both short-term colonization of mine tailingscontaminated sediments through a field experiment, and the present ...
    • Tailored Leaching Tests as a Tool for Environmental Management of Mine Tailings Disposal at Sea 

      Pedersen, Kristine B.; Lejon, Tore; Evenset, Anita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-10)
      The expanding human activities in coastal areas increase the need for developing solutions to limit impacts on the marine environment. Sea disposal affects the marine environment, but despite the growing knowledge of potential impacts, there are still no standardized leaching tests for sea disposal. The aim of this study was to contribute to the development of leaching tests, exemplified using ...
