We're the diverse research group of Prof @BorgaK @UniOslo We study toxicants: exposure & accumulation in and btw ecosystems interactions & effects w/ natural stressors/climate change. Organisms range from tiny springtails/copepods/bumblebees🐛🐝 -> fish/birds 🐟🦅-> whales! 🐳

This project was funded by @kldep’s #Arktis2030 programme and was a collaboration between @UniOslo @biovitenskap , #norwegianorcasurvey , @UniNMBU , @NILU_now and @Havforskningen . Supervised by @BorgaK from @BorgaGroup and non-X Eve Jourdain 🐳

We looked at levels & intercorrelations of #legacy #PersistentOrganicPollutants, #dechloranes & #ChlorinatedParaffins SCCPs & dechloranes positively correlated with recalcitrant POPs to a stronger extent than MCCPs or LCCPs, but all were surprisingly unrelated to dietary niche
In this ES&T study, @CAndvik, @BorgaK and team at @biovitenskap @UniOslo investigate the intercorrelations of chlorinated parrafins, dechloranes, and legacy #PersistentOrganicPollutants in different marine mammal species. #bioaccumulation #OpenAccess: go.acs.org/av8

Our #winter_research adventure continues today with Mathieu and Sophie joining the #Polar_Front Cruise. While I am proud of our winter expeditions and research, I fully aware of how challenging it can be with low temperatures, strong winds, waves and darkness @Arctic winter 1/2

On behalf of our research group, I will be giving a plenary talk about Seasonal and climate change effects on pollutant accumulations and effects in the Arctic marine food web. Exciting updates on #winter #multiple_stressors #pollutants, #TippingPoint #Arctic
🌍📚 Exciting News from Tromsø: Unraveling the Arctic's Past and Future! Join us at the international research conference from Nov 6th-9th, 2023, exploring the Arctic's rich history and uncertain future. #ArcticResearch #Nansenlegacy #ArcticExploration rb.gy/bykez

Attention UiO friends! @UniOslo @UiO_ResearchMN @unioslo_mn @biovitenskap Don't miss @konnichiwadolph Leanne Rosser talking about her dolphin research in Japan, and this >> cool paper tomorrow at the AQUA/CEES double seminar! 13:15-15:00 in room 4426, Kristine Bonnevies hus 🐬
My first first-author paper has been published in Aquatic Mammals! 🎉 We (@mutsubaydolphin @mitani_yoko) discuss an observation in #Japan of calf-directed aggression in Pacific white-sided #dolphins as an infanticide attempt! doi.org/10.1578/AM.48.3.2022… (Contact me for pdf🐬)

Gender reveal!🥳🐳 Psyched that a causal lunchtime chat with @DrAdamWarner @Raincoast at #PSEC ended with us determining sex in ALL our Norwegian orca samples today! 🤩🐳 Sneaky subadults - your secret is out! 😏😆 So cool to get value from every tiny leftover DNA!🤩 Thank you!🙏

Fascinating learning about all the cool work at @DFO_Pacific Institute of Ocean Sciences!🤩 Including metabolomics on our orca skin samples with the Brown Lab🐳 which will tell us about health, diet, stress & more!🌟 #norwegianorcasurvey @forskningsradet @biovitenskap @BorgaGroup

Read more about our @forskningsradet project #multiwhale 🐳 in @unioslo_titan titan.uio.no/naturvitenskap/… This whale is named Skye - she & her offspring are helping us understand the effect of multiple stressors in Norwegian killer whales. Knowledge about individuals is essential!🐳

Inspiring the next generation of biologists! Today our group member @CAndvik held a presentation at the @UniOslo open day about what it is like to study @biovitenskap at @unioslo_mn - and specifically her research on killer whales and pollutants. Lots of interested students!
