In 2017, researchers retrieved an eleven-metre-long sediment core from Lake Vangsvatnet in Voss. The core reveals 8,000 years of flood history in the community, west in Norway.

Hi everyone, We’ll have our stormtracks group meeting this Wednesday (21.10) from 14:00 to 15:00 at U105. This week Kjersti will present her work about Frontal lifecycles and secondary cyclogenesis. The meeting will be hybrid and you can join remotely via Zoom: https://uib.zoom.us/j/62886269543?pwd=ajWbi97zr0hbniaoQdZkUtD2EUSSri.1 Meeting ID: 628 8626 9543 | Password: qSKTfKU3 The meeting schedule for this semester is in the following google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oLVVNtXjbjU3uNZ62qnXF8pcYbrCB34aUqUbDfnb2vo/edit?tab=t.0 Looking forward to seeing you all!:) Best, Birgit and Yangfan

Hi all As mentioned earlier, the coming Carbon System meetings will focus on the Research Priorities in the new strategy for the Bjerknes centre. The aim is to develop activities on these Research Priorities. These activities will eventually be articulated in a Bjerknes activity plan, that will accompany the strategy. The meeting on the first Research Priority: Advance fundamental science on coupled Earth system processes, interactions, and feedbacks. We will deepen process-based insight into how the Earth system works– including coupled ocean–atmosphere phenomena, the carbon cycle and biogeochemistry, large-scale climate variability, teleconnections, and tipping elements – to constrain uncertainty and enhance confidence in projections of the evolution of the climate system. will take place October 22nd at 9-11 in the 4th floor seminar room west-wing GFI. We will have 3 presentations, to set the scene, and then an organized discussion on the Research Priority: on what we would like to focus on, what we can hope to achieve, and how we can better collaborate on this in our research theme and with the other research themes. The presentations are: Friederike Fröb: Approaching the edge? - The Earth system and carbon cycle response in TIPMIP-ESMs Timothée Bourgeois: Mitigating the fall? - (Marine) carbon dioxide removal experiments in ESMs Are Olsen: Knowing the truth? – Ocean sink uncertainties in the global carbon budget Best Are & Nadine
