ENCORE - ENvironmental CO-exposure and Risk Estimation (Cefic-LRI ECO66)
ENCORE is led by Karel Viaene at ARCHE Consulting. The objective of ENCORE is to develop a probabilistic modelling framework for estimation of environmental risk of chemical mixtures in watersheds across Europe.
ETC BE AMR: Antimicrobial resistance in European surface waters
We need to improve our understanding of the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in surface waters, particularly downstream of urban waste water treatment plants. However, at present there is no European overview of the presence of AMR in surface waters. This project will develop a basic approach and methodology for a European scale AMR monitoring of surface waters.
European Topic Centre Biodiversity and Ecosystems (ETC BE)
The European Topic Centre Biodiversity and Ecosystems (ETC BE) is a Consortium of 24 European organisations, led by NIVA and working in partnership with the European Environment Agency (EEA) under a Framework Partnership Agreement for the period 2023-2026. The consortium has expertise in the topic area of terrestrial, freshwater and marine biodiversity and ecosystems. Biodiversity and ecosystems is one of five strategic work areas in the EEA-Eionet Strategy 2021-2030.
Research sections (2)
Catchment Biogeochemistry
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.
Oceanography
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.
