      Effective ocean management requires integrated and sustainable ocean observing systems enabling us to map and understand ecosystem properties and the effects of human activities. Autonomous subsurface and surface vehicles, here collectively referred to as “gliders”, are part of such ocean observing systems providing high spatiotemporal resolution. In this paper, we present some of the results achieved ...
    • Climate-driven changes in functional biogeography of Arctic marine fish communities 

      Frainer, André; Primicerio, Raul; Kortsch, Susanne; Aune, Magnus; Dolgov, Andrey V.; Fossheim, Maria; Aschan, Michaela (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-14)
      Climate change triggers poleward shifts in species distribution leading to changes in biogeography. In the marine environment, fish respond quickly to warming, causing community-wide reorganizations, which result in profound changes in ecosystem functioning. Functional biogeography provides a framework to address how ecosystem functioning may be affected by climate change over large spatial ...
    • Functional roles and redundancy of demersal Barents Sea fish: Ecological implications of environmental change 

      Aune, Magnus; Aschan, Michaela; Greenacre, Michael; Dolgov, Andrey V.; Fossheim, Maria; Primicerio, Raul (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-21)
      When facing environmental change and intensified anthropogenic impact on marine ecosystems, extensive knowledge of how these systems are functioning is required in order to manage them properly. However, in high-latitude ecosystems, where climate change is expected to have substantial ecological impact, the ecosystem functions of biological species have received little attention, partly due to the ...
    • Panel-based Assessment of Ecosystem Condition of Norwegian Barents Sea Shelf Ecosystems

      The System for Assessment of Ecological Condition, coordinated by the Norwegian Environment Agency, is intended to form the foundation for evidence-based assessments of the ecological condition of Norwegian terrestrial and marine ecosystems not covered by the EU Water Framework Directive. The reference condition is defined as “intact ecosystems”, i.e., a condition that is largely unimpacted by modern ...
    • Panel-based Assessment of Ecosystem Condition of Norwegian Barents Sea Shelf Ecosystems - Appendices

    • Seasonal ecology in ice-covered Arctic seas - Considerations for spill response decision making 

      Aune, Magnus; Aniceto, Ana Sofia; Biuw, Martin; Daase, Malin; Falk-Petersen, Stig; Leu, Eva; Ottesen, Camilla; Sagerup, Kjetil; Camus, Lionel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-05)
      Due to retreating sea ice and predictions of undiscovered oil and gas resources, increased activity in Arctic shelf sea areas associated with shipping and oil and gas exploration is expected. Such activities may accidentally lead to oil spills in partly ice-covered ocean areas, which raises issues related to oil spill response. Net Environmental Benefit Analysis (NEBA) is the process that the response ...
    • Trait-based approaches in rapidly changing ecosystems: A roadmap to the future polar oceans 

      Degen, Renate; Aune, Magnus; Bluhm, Bodil; Cassidy, Camilla; Kędra, Monika; Kraan, Casper; Vandepitte, Leen; Włodarska-Kowalczuk, Maria; Zhulay, Irina; Albano, Paolo G.; Bremner, Julie; Grebmeier, Jacqueline M.; Link, Heike; Morata, Nathalie; Nordström, Marie C.; Shojaei, Mehdi Ghodrati; Sutton, Lauren; Zuschin, Martin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-30)
      Polar marine regions are facing rapid changes induced by climate change, with consequences for local faunal populations, but also for overall ecosystem functioning, goods and services. Yet given the complexity of polar marine ecosystems, predicting the mode, direction and extent of these consequences remains challenging. Trait-based approaches are increasingly adopted as a tool by which to explore ...
