Senior research scientist and has been
with NIVA since 1974. He has 25 years of experience in
hydrochemical research, including field studies, catchment-scale
experiments and modelling. He is an international expert on acid
deposition, land use, climate change and their effects on
aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and is a specialist in design
and execution of large-scale experiments. He has managed several
large, international interdisciplinary research
projects. Dr. Wright has played a leading role in numerous EC
projects including ENCORE, NITREX (scientific co-ordinator),
CLIMEX, and DYNAMO. |

Has previous experience in the field of
air pollution from 11 years as research scientist at the
Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU). She has been
working with lake acidification as a research scientist and
manager at NIVA for 15 years and is the main responsible NIVA
person for the AL:PE 1 & 2 and MOLAR projects. She is head of Research Department for Environmental Technology and Water Resources Management. |

Fish ecotoxicology |
Tasks:
NIVA (3) convenes the work packages on "regionalisation: lake
chemistry" (WP 2); "regionalisation:
fish ecotoxicology" (WP 5);
co-convenes with ECRC-UCL the
database and dissemination work package (WP
10). With CNRIII they
co-ordinate the programme of chemical analytical quality control
for the whole EMERGE project. With ECRC-UCL they are responsible for
overseeing the application of dynamic models for acidification at
appropriate sites and regions. They work with UiB to undertake field sampling at all
sites in the southern and central Norwegian Lake Districts; and
are the operators of the Experimental site at Ovre
Neadalsvatn. NIVA co-ordinates the harmonisation of fish
survey/sampling methodologies throughout EMERGE; and assists with
fish sampling and analyses in Greenland and at other regional
sites in liaison with local laboratories. NIVA leads the
development of a linked GIS:database for the project by developing
the ENSYS A/S system for the project's specific
requirements. Together with ULIV
they carry out the specialist analyses of trace metals in lake
water, deposition, sediments and biota, throughout the
project. NIVA are the Programme Centre for the UNECE ICP
Acidification of Lakes and Rivers and EMERGE benefits from
direct access to the long-term datasets generated by this ICP and
by direct links to the chemical AQC programme which is
co-ordinated by NIVA.
