Exploring the user-producer interface of weather and sea ice information for Arctic marine mobilities: a dedicated session at the Ninth International Congress on Arctic Social Sciences (ICASS)
Lamers, Machiel; Knol, Maaike; Ljubicic, Gita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-29)At the International Congress on Arctic Social Sciences (ICASS IX) in Umeå, 8–12 June 2017, we organised a session to raise awareness and to involve other Arctic social scientists in the PPP-SERA agenda. The session focused on the user-producer interface of weather and sea ice information for Arctic marine sectors. In particular, we intended to discuss the complexities of actors, ... -
Making ecosystem-based management operational: Integrated monitoring in Norway
Knol, Maaike (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)Ecosystem-based management presupposes that the state and development trends of an ecosystem - or of ecological quality - can be measured and followed. Currently, in many coastal countries there exists a variety of monitoring practices that are concerned with single issues only, and are not an integrated part of a larger framework. With the trend towards more comprehensive forms of ecosystem-based ... -
Making the Arctic predictable: The changing information infrastructure of Arctic weather and sea ice services
Knol, Maaike; Arbo, Peter; Duske, Paula; Gerland, Sebastian; Lamers, Machiel; Pavlova, Olga; Sivle, Anders Doksæter; Tronstad, Stein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-19)This paper explores the changing infrastructure around weather and sea ice information provisioning for Arctic marine areas. Traditionally, the most important providers of operational information on sea ice and weather conditions are the national sea ice and meteorological services. More recently, the community of Arctic information providers has become more heterogeneous with the establishment of ... -
Marine Ecosystem Governance in the Making : Planning for petroleum activity in the Barents Sea-Lofoten area
Knol, Maaike (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2011-03-25)Expanding petroleum activity in the Barents Sea-Lofoten area has worked as a catalyst for the development and introduction of the first integrated, ecosystem-based management plan in Norway. This plan sets the framework, in particular, for further petroleum activities. Building on Science and Technology Studies (STS) this thesis provides an analysis of the practices and instrumentation of marine ... -
Marine spatial planning: risk or opportunity for fisheries in the North Sea?
Jentoft, Svein; Knol, Maaike (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)The North Sea is one of the busiest marine areas in the world. It is also a major fisheries ground. Bordered by seven countries with their own spatial uses and claims, the stage is set for complex and demanding governance challenges. Recent decades have also seen user groups multiply, competition for space and resources increase, and the pressure on the marine environment and its living natural ... -

Second Polar Prediction Project (PPP) Societal and Economic Research and Applications (SERA) Meeting focused on end user use of weather and climate information
Thoman, Rick L; Dawson, Jackie; Liggett, Daniela; Lamers, Machiel; Stewart, Emma; Ljubicic, Gita; Knol, Maaike; Hoke, Winfried (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-23)A primary goal of the World Meteorological Organization’s Polar Prediction Project (PPP) is to advance numerical modeling, data acquisition and assimilation, ensemble forecast methods, verification, and the development of prediction products for the polar regions. However, as aptly expressed more than two decades ago, “it should be understood that forecasts have no intrinsic value. They acquire value ... -
The transformation of the oceans and the future of marine social science
Arbo, Peter; Knol, Maaike; Linke, Sebastian; St. Martin, Kevin John (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-13)The oceans have become a juncture of great visions of blue growth as well as strong environmental concern. This paper discusses the essential role of the social sciences as the oceans increasingly emerge as a contested social arena. The marine social sciences have generated a vast knowledge about the development of fisheries and the implications of fisheries policies on coastal communities. We review ...
