BCCR Cross theme seminar: Sea-level change
On Monday 9/9 at 14:15 we will have the first BCCR cross-themes seminar of the semester. The topic for this seminar is sea-level change, and we have three speakers:
- Global Group: Kristin Richter will present the “Sea level rise and extremes in Norway” report from the Norsk Klimaservicesenter
- Polar Group: “Recent Great Salinity Anomaly and the sea level variability in the Barents Sea” by Roshin P. Raj
- Hazards Group: "Contribution of the open ocean to sea-level variations over the Norwegian continental shelf" by Fabio Mangini
The seminar will take place in the Bjerknes lecture room (4th floor, room 4020), and there will be cookies and coffee! For those not able to attend in person, it will be possible to join on zoom.

Synoptic Arctic Survey webinar: Dynamic processes in the Arctic Ocean
Webinar #4 2024: Dynamic processes in the Arctic Ocean
Monday 23rd September, 12:00 – 13:30 UTC (which is 14:00 – 15:30 CEST)
The Synoptic Arctic Survey (SAS) is a researcher-driven initiative that aims to enhance ongoing ocean monitoring with ship-based measurements, to establish the present states of the Arctic Ocean ecosystem, carbon cycle and associated hydrography. SAS has coordinated a multi-ship survey using an international fleet of icebreakers and research vessels, where more than 25 cruises from 11 different nations collected a set of parameters across the Arctic Ocean in 2020-2022. This comprehensive dataset will allow for unprecedented assessments and provide a unique baseline to track future climate change and its impacts. For more information, please visit our website: https://synopticarcticsurvey.w.uib.no/
This webinar showcases how ocean dynamics influences different processes of the Arctic Ocean, as the circulation of water masses redistributes nutrients that provide the sustenance for the lower trophic levels of food webs in the marine ecosystem. It will be moderated by Øyvind Paasche, the chair of the SAS scientific steering committee, who will also give a brief introduction to the SAS initiative. There will be three solicited talks with room for questions and discussions:
Peigen Lin - Associate professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China
Recent state transition of the Beaufort Gyre
Recent state transition of the Arctic Ocean’s Beaufort Gyre | Nature Geoscience
Andreas Rogge - Post doc. at Alfred Wegner Institute, Germany
Dense shelf water propagation and subduction drives lateral injection of particulate organic carbon into the deep Nansen Basin
Johan Wikner - Professor at Umeå University, Sweden
Contribution from prokaryotes to the Central Arctic Ocean carbon cycling
-preliminary data from the SAS Oden cruise in 2021
The webinar will take place in Zoom. If you would like to join the webinar, please register to receive the meeting link:
