Tasks:

UiB co-ordinates the programme of invertebrate analyses throughout EMERGE; organises biological harmonisation sample exchanges and workshops for invertebrate (particularly) chironomid taxonomy; and convenes the overall programme for biological harmonisation. UiB carries out all invertebrate analyses from Norway, Scotland, Austria, Finland and Greenland; and those from sediment cores in Italy. Assistance with field sampling is given in Greenland, Bulgaria and Romania in association with national partners. UiB participates in the fishing programmes in Greenland, Norway, Austria, Spain and Bulgaria with particular input to the analysis of fish food organisms for trace metals and organic pollution.
