Science never takes a summer break

Summer may be a quieter time for many, but research at the Bjerknes Centre has certainly not stood still. From fieldwork and research cruises to conferences, new publications and scientific collaborations, our researchers have been busy both at home and abroad. Here are some of the research activity that has taken place over the past few months – a glimpse of what our scientists have been working on while many of us were enjoying the summer break.
