Riverine Inputs and Direct Discharges - RID
The Comprehensive Riverine Inputs and Direct Discharges (RID) programme aims to monitor and assess all inputs and discharges of selected contaminants to the OSPAR maritime area and its regions that are carried via rivers into tidal waters, or are discharged directly into the sea, for example through sewage pipelines or activities like aquaculture inputting substances directly.

Carbon sequestration in Norwegian spruce forest soils (CONSEQUENCE)
Norway has pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, and one of the strategies and ultimate goal is to increase the short and long-term sequestration of organic carbon in forest soil to enhance the carbon stock of soil organic carbon in forests. Altering forest management strategies, such as extending rotation periods and clear-cutting methods, may change soil carbon storage, accumulation and loss.
