• Calypso – Weathering properties and behaviour at sea - In relation to oil spill response 

      Sørheim, Kristin Rist; Bakken, Oddveig Merethe; Pettersen, Thor-Arne; Igartua, Amaia (SINTEF Ocean rapporter;OC2024 A-085, Research report, 2024-10-08)
      A standardized bench-scale and meso-scale flume testing weathering study has been conducted on Calypso crude oil. The dispersibility testing was included to estimate the viscosity limits and the time window for dispersant ...
    • Heidrun Åre – Weathering properties and behaviour at sea 

      Sørheim, Kristin Rist; Pettersen, Thor-Arne; Bakken, Oddveig Merethe; Igartua, Amaia (SINTEF Ocean rapporter;OC2024 A-043, Research report, 2024-04-26)
      A standardized small-scale weathering and dispersibility study has been conducted on Heidrun Åre crude oil from 2023 at 13 °C. The dispersibility testing was included to estimate the viscosity limits and time window for ...
    • Langfjellet – Weathering properties and behaviour at sea 

      Sørheim, Kristin Rist; Bakken, Oddveig Merethe; Pettersen, Thor-Arne; Igartua, Amaia (SINTEF Ocean rapporter;OC2024 A-086, Research report, 2024-10-08)
      A standardized bench-scale weathering study has been conducted on Langfjellet crude oil from the Yggdrasil area in the North Sea. The dispersibility testing was included to estimate the viscosity limits and the time window ...
    • Non-target and suspect screening reveal complex pattern of contamination in Arctic marine zooplankton 

      Sørensen, Lisbet; Schaufelberger, Sonja; Igartua, Amaia; Størseth, Trond Røvik; Øverjordet, Ida Beathe (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Although increasing, there is still limited knowledge of the presence of ‘contaminants of emerging concern’ in Arctic marine biota, particularly in lower trophic species. In the present study, we have applied a novel ...
    • Organic chemicals associated with rubber are more toxic to marine algae and bacteria than those of thermoplastics 

      Sørensen, Lisbet; Gomes, Tania; Igartua, Amaia; Lyngstad, Inger Larsen; Almeida, Ana Catarina; Wagner, Martin; Booth, Andy (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The current study investigated the chemical complexity of fifty plastic (36) and elastomer/rubber (14) methanol extracts from consumer products, focusing on the association with toxicity in two screening assays (bacteria ...
    • Towards realism in hazard assessment of plastic and rubber leachates – methodological considerations 

      Sørensen, Lisbet; Zammite, Clementine; Igartua, Amaia; Christensen, Maren Morken; Haraldsvik, Martin; Creese, Mari Egeness; Gomes, Tania; Booth, Andy (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      While plastic chemicals are key drivers of observed effects to aquatic species, there remains a lack of standardized and fit-for-purpose approaches for experimentally deconvoluting the effects of plastic chemicals from ...
    • Weathering data of Buzzard crude oils – Input to Oil database for OSCAR simulations 

      Sørheim, Kristin Rist; Bakken, Oddveig Merethe; Pettersen, Thor-Arne; Igartua, Amaia (SINTEF Ocean rapporter;OC2024 A-088, Research report, 2024-10-07)
      A standardized bench-scale weathering study has been performed on two Buzzard crude oils from the main field and the northern terrace manifold (NTM), respectively. The laboratory data of the crude oils are input to the ...
