Air quality in the Geiranger fjord

  • 2 h
Surprisingly enough, the level of small particles in the air in the natural World Heritage site Geiranger Fjord was pre Covid-19 as high as in a medium range European city. The World Heritage foundation therefore started an air quality monitoring system in cooperation with the University of Bonn.

About resources

The air quality monitoring program in the Geiranger area focuses on investigating the sources, the quantities, the mechanisms of spatio temporal distribution, and their climatic driving forces in a long term perspective. Yearly reports are published. The two resources included here are the last before Covid-19 impacted air emissions in the area and the 2021 version amidst Covid-19. (Each of the reports takes about 2 hours to read and 10 min to get an overview.)
