Borgå Ecotox Research Group

Research group of @borgak (Prof @unioslo @Biovitenskap @UniOslo_mn). Check out our ecotoxicology blog for our recent activities!

[Borgå Ecotox Research Group @BorgaGroup]

We're the diverse research group of Prof
@BorgaK @UniOslo We study toxicants: exposure & accumulation in and btw ecosystems + interactions & effects w/ natural stressors/climate change. Organisms range from tiny springtails/copepods/bumblebees🐛🐝 -> fish/birds 🐟🦅-> whales! 🐳

[Clare Andvik @CAndvik]

This project was funded by @kldep’s #Arktis2030 programme and was a collaboration between @UniOslo @biovitenskap , #norwegianorcasurvey , @UniNMBU , @NILU_now and @Havforskningen . Supervised by @BorgaK from @BorgaGroup and non-X Eve Jourdain 🐳

[Clare Andvik @CAndvik]

We looked at levels & intercorrelations of #legacy #PersistentOrganicPollutants, #dechloranes & #ChlorinatedParaffins

SCCPs & dechloranes positively correlated with recalcitrant POPs to a stronger extent than MCCPs or LCCPs, but all were surprisingly unrelated to dietary niche

🚨 New paper alert 🚨🥳🙌

We measured pollution levels in 10 species of marine mammals from Norway 🐳🐬🦭

[Environmental Science & Technology Journals @EnvSciTech]

In this ES&T study, @CAndvik, @BorgaK and team at @biovitenskap @UniOslo investigate the intercorrelations of chlorinated parrafins, dechloranes, and legacy #PersistentOrganicPollutants in different marine mammal species. #bioaccumulation

Happy to announce the publication of our paper on phthalate contamination in marine mammals from Norway in #Marine #Pollution Bulletin

@curious_smolt and I are co-first authors 😀
Summary of results here in my v. first infographic 🙈📊📈

We acknowledge the support of the @forskningsradet for their support our master student, Sophie Albertsen, for a newly approved Arctic Field Grant!

[Khuong Dinh @khuongaquatic]

Our #winter_research adventure continues today with Mathieu and Sophie joining the #Polar_Front Cruise. While I am proud of our winter expeditions and research, I fully aware of how challenging it can be with low temperatures, strong winds, waves and darkness @Arctic winter 1/2

[Khuong Dinh @khuongaquatic]

On behalf of our research group, I will be giving a plenary talk about Seasonal and climate change effects on pollutant accumulations and effects in the Arctic marine food web. Exciting updates on #winter #multiple_stressors #pollutants, #TippingPoint #Arctic

[Khuong Dinh @khuongaquatic]

So many inspiring talks, research, and stories at the Nansen Legacy Symposium in the lovely city Tromsø! Millions of thanks!!

[Department of Biosciences, University of Oslo @biovitenskap]

Great talk today by Khuong V. Dinh from @biovitenskap at the @nansenlegacy Symposium in Tromsø.
@khuongaquatic talked about "Seasonal and Climate Change Effects on Pollution Accumulation and Effects in the Arctic Marine Food Web":

Attention UiO friends! @UniOslo @UiO_ResearchMN @unioslo_mn @biovitenskap

Don't miss @konnichiwadolph Leanne Rosser talking about her dolphin research in Japan, and this >> cool paper tomorrow at the AQUA/CEES double seminar! 13:15-15:00 in room 4426, Kristine Bonnevies hus 🐬

[Clare Andvik @CAndvik]

All samples for this cool work were collected by #norwegianorcasurvey as part of our @forskningsradet funded project MULTIWHALE @biovitenskap @BorgaGroup 🐳🐳🐳

[Clare Andvik @CAndvik]

Gender reveal!🥳🐳
Psyched that a causal lunchtime chat with @DrAdamWarner @Raincoast at #PSEC ended with us determining sex in ALL our Norwegian orca samples today! 🤩🐳 Sneaky subadults - your secret is out! 😏😆 So cool to get value from every tiny leftover DNA!🤩 Thank you!🙏

[Borgå Ecotox Research Group @BorgaGroup]

It is so great when our group members have the opportunity to travel to other countries and labs!

[Clare Andvik @CAndvik]

Fascinating learning about all the cool work at @DFO_Pacific Institute of Ocean Sciences!🤩 Including metabolomics on our orca skin samples with the Brown Lab🐳 which will tell us about health, diet, stress & more!🌟 #norwegianorcasurvey @forskningsradet @biovitenskap @BorgaGroup

[Khuong Dinh @khuongaquatic]

Big congratulations Amalie for your excellent master defense today @BorgaK @BorgaGroup @biovitenskap Conducting a long term 3-stressor experiment with Arctic zooplankton was fascinating but highly challenging. You made it all!! @nansenlegacy

[Emily Hague 🚢🐳🐬 @emilyhague]

🚨NEW PAPER🚨 🇦🇶🛳️With climate change meaning the Arctic is becoming increasingly accessible to shipping, how can the supporting port infrastructure be developed in an environmentally responsible and sustainable way, with Arctic communities involved from the outset?

Our group has been busy spreading science at SETAC Dublin this week! Thanks for a great week @SETAC_world !

[Katrine Borgå @BorgaK]

Thanks #SETACDublin! we’ve had an exciting week with inspiring science, colleagues and friends! Great to see especially the young researchers presenting and engaging!

Read more about our @forskningsradet project #multiwhale 🐳 in @unioslo_titan https://t.co/u8Tgus9EnZ
This whale is named Skye - she & her offspring are helping us understand the effect of multiple stressors in Norwegian killer whales. Knowledge about individuals is essential!🐳

[Borgå Ecotox Research Group @BorgaGroup]

We are happy to have contributed to this great new study on killer whale diet!

[Borgå Ecotox Research Group @BorgaGroup]

Inspiring the next generation of biologists! Today our group member @CAndvik held a presentation at the @UniOslo open day about what it is like to study @biovitenskap at @unioslo_mn - and specifically her research on killer whales and pollutants. Lots of interested students!
