Aquatic environment
Akvaplan-niva assists our clients in all phases of a project influencing the aquatic environment; from design to decommissioning, clean up and biological restoration.
Environmental monitoring
Human activities influences nature and environment. Through baseline surveys, and regular monitoring during implementation, the degree and extent of this influence is documented. Should the monitoring reveal unacceptable impacts, the owner/operator may be enforced to implement amending measures or termination of the activity.
Environmental Impact Assessment
Policies, plans and project have to be evaluated for potential impacts to nature, environment and society. Environmental and Social impact are assessed through ESHIA procedures, involving the public to various extents. Akvaplan-niva perform EIA of all types of activities influencing the natural environment. We apply internationally recognised assessment tools and techniques to systematically predict extent and duration of environmental impacts.

Our Sensitive Environments Decision Support Group (SensE) translates scientific results into practical tools to manage environmental risk from oil spills, especially when working in sensitive areas.
Oceanography
Akvaplan-niva has developed tools for simulating circulation and the environment in the sea and especially in coastal areas.
