Deposition of drill cuttings in the Barents Sea:

The main goal is to increase knowledge about how cuttings will spreadwhen deposited on the seabed, and to forecast how the contaminants in sediments could be a future source of pollution.

( Ballast water, oil spill response, waste treatment and bioremediation)

The intention of this workpackage is to take the knowledge developed through the contract research activities at Northern Research Institute Narvik and generalise and tailor it for use in educational courses, and for generating further research projects. Four main thematic areas were identified, which form the basis for grouping research activities:
Ballast water treatment
Oil spill response
Waste treatment
Bioremediation
