21. Effects of persistent organic pollutants on polar bears in Svalbard

The study covers many areas of ecotoxicology research on polar bears. Monitoring of POP levels and studies of effects on endocrine disruption, immune system, reproduction, and demography are all parts of the study.

24. Variation in space and time of cod and other gadoids: the effect of climate and density dependence on population dynamics

To increase the understanding of temporal and spatial dynamics of cod and other commercial gadoid species, including the influence of environmental variability on population parameters, and make this knowledge available in assessable form for fisheries management.
