The WatRes project investigates the occurrence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and antibiotic-resistance genes from the Hias wastewater treatment plant to Lake Mjøsa, a main source of drinking water and irrigation.

The PlasticTrace project addressed the urgent need to develop and harmonise methods for identifying, characterising, and quantifying small micro- and nanoplastics (SMPs/NPs) in drinking water, food, and environmental matrices, in line with the EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP). 

"Monitoring of microplastics in coastal areas, rivers and lakes" is a monitoring programme that aims to increase knowledge about the extent of microplastic pollution in Norway.

The program aims to map the levels of pollutants present in a fjord in a densely populated area and how the pollution is concentrated in the food web in the fjord system.

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 sections on Freshwater Ecology have expertise in the monitoring and restoration of freshwater ecosystems and their biodiversity. We develop knowledge and understanding that provide a basis for applied, evidence-based freshwater management. 

The Section for Environmental Data Science 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.
