Dear all,

Next Monday, November 17th, at 11:00 will be our next X-theme seminar. The topic will be “Observations across time scales”, presented by Stephan Kral, Natalya Gallo and Jo Brendryen.

Natalya Gallo will present on "Mapping Blue Carbon in European Seagrass Beds, using remote sensing, oceanographic data & the new EURO-CARBON database." for Carbon.

From Polar, Stephan Kral will present "Fine-scale observational capabilities for polar research at GFI.

For Hazards, Jo Brendryen will present on his paper “Paleoenvironments and the drowning of the late glacial North Sea continent”.

We hope to see you there!

Best regards,

Julia and Robin

As previously mentioned (including at the recent annual meeting), the Bjerknes Centre is in the process of renewing its strategy. We will therefore have a new Polar meeting dedicated to discussing what we think the Bjerknes Centre should be doing over the next years and how we should achieve these objectives.

As these discussions requires energy, we will also use this opportunity for a small pre-christmas lunch. So please confirm your attendance.  

When: Thursday 20 November at 12:00-14:00

Where: Copernicus lecture room (114; NERSC)

Best,

Marius
