In this study, the formation and fate of oil-related aggregates (ORAs) from chemically dispersed oil in seawater (SW) were investigated at different temperatures (5 °C, 13 °C, 20 °C). Experiments in natural SW alone, and in SW amended with typical marine snow constituents (phytoplankt...

The assessment of planktonic organisms is a prevailing task in marine ecology and oceanography as planktonic organisms form the principal food source for consumers at higher trophic levels. Reliable estimates on the production at the lowermost trophic levels are thus an integral part for the managem...

When an oil field ages and the pressure in the reservoir decreases, or for oil fields with heavy oil, there may be a need for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies. Polymer injection is a water-based EOR method where the viscosity of the water injected for pressure support is increased by mixing ...

Limited experimental and field data are available describing oil droplet formation from subsea releases at high pressure. There are also analytical challenges quantifying oil droplets over a wide size and concentrations range at high pressure. This study quantified oil droplets released from an orif...

Abstract—Plastics have permeated almost every aspect of modern day life with its wide applicability. The tragic consequence is millions of pieces of plastic polluting and harming sea life every day. The road towards a clean sea contains several legs and requires mapping of the ocean water column to ...
