Date: 28-29 April 2010
Highlights:
- Data base: B. Rygg (NIVA) gave up-to-date information/overview of the database.
- Data analyses: R. Telford (Univ. of Bergen) introduced and explained useful ways of statistical analyses for the data set. He showed preliminary observations and suggestions for the future.
- Living foraminifera from the PES cruise in August 2008: V. Bouchet (Univ. of Oslo) gave an overview of the foraminifera assemblages of the upper 0-2 cm of all sites. He then summarized different methods used at the moment to define ecological quality assessments. The group agreed then on the best approach to use in the PES project.
- Living foraminifera on polychaetes tubes: Using V. Bouchet's data, R. Telford showed statistical results of the attached foraminifera data set.
- Recolonisation study in the Bekkelagsbassenget: S. Hess (Univ. of Oslo) summarized the existing foraminifera data of this sub-project.
- Historical foraminifera record of the Oslofjord: E. Alve (Univ. of Oslo) introduced historical foraminifera record from the Oslofjord (produced by J. Dolven, Univ. of Oslo).
Meeting n°2:
Tømte Gård, Hurdalen (North of Oslo)
