The Section for Environmental Informatics manages and quality assures NIVA's data and makes them available to NIVA's researchers. 

We deliver tailor-made solutions and facilities that enable NIVA's researchers to solve our clients' challenges in the best possible way. 

We do chemical analyses of inorganic substances.

NIVA has a broad research community that develops new knowledge about pollution. 

The section contributes to increased understanding of how marine ecosystems are affected by human activities and how they should be managed. We are commissioned and cooperate with the public administration on the development of mapping and monitoring methods and tools for classifying environmental status in coastal areas. 

With its professional breadth, holistic approach and good analytical skills, NIVA, together with the subsidiaries Akvaplan-niva and NIVA Chile, are useful partners in research, consulting and investigation of issues related to the establishment, operation and further development of the aquaculture industry. 

The section for catchment biogeochemistry works to understand how various pollutants are spread in the environment and how they affect the water quality in rivers, lakes, and fjords. Our studies lay the foundation for and support political guidelines and improvements to reduce unwanted environmental impacts. 

NIVA's Section for International Environment and Development works with solutions to complex environmental problems locally, nationally, and globally. We work interdisciplinary, qualitatively, and quantitatively and we combine social science and natural science methods to create holistic analyses and solution proposals. 

The section employs observational, experimental, and modeling approaches to further our understanding of physical, chemical, biological, and biogeochemical processes and services of the marine environment. 

The section receives and handles approx. 15,000 samples/year which are partial deliveries in monitoring projects, research projects and other assignments led by researchers at NIVA.
