Spring water sampling in Oslo area

27.08.2021 | Author: admin

Spring sampling in Sweden and Norway, scheduled for May/June 2021, was originally planned to be carried out by ECOPOND team from the University of Lodz, led by Karolina Bącela-Spychalska. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to revise these plans. Therefore, water samples in Norway were collected by members of the ECOPOND team from NINA, led by Annette Taugbøl, ECOPOND Principal Investigator on the Norwegian side.

A total of 12 ponds, both urban and rural, were sampled for water:

URBAN PONDS

Hovindammen

59.920367

10.800095

Forskningsparken

59.942947

10.718305

Nesvangen

59.865705

10.503824

Tjernsrudtjernet

59.921539

10.609578

Lindbeckdammen

59.866724

10.801939

RURAL PONDS

Sognsvannputten

59.9736279

10.746886

Fjellstadputten

59.868050

10.867436

Vesletjernet

59.9345475

10.9686618

Svartputten

59.975570

10.847289

Karrusputten

Holmenkollen

59.965445

10.664835

Gjertrudsen

59.8418232

10.3778278

However, it should be considered that the Holmenkollen pond cannot be clearly classified as rural.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) and RNA (eRNA) samples from these ponds were provided to Karolina Bącela-Spychalska's team at the University of Lodz for analysis as required in WP1 of the ECOPOND project.

Also, the SGS AS laboratory has carried out chemical analyses of water samples from the tested ponds. As for the chlorophyll A analysis, it will be completed by the J.S. Hamilton laboratory in Poland.
