To know whether emission treaties are complied with, all CO2 must be traceable. Incomplete bookkeeping sent scientists on a search in the Greenland Sea.

In the future Norway will see an increase in intense rain but less snow.

The climate and the westerly winds in the sub-Antarctic are variable, but their behavior over long timescales is uncertain. In her dissertation, Maaike Zwier reveals how the Westerlies have shifted in both strength and position over the last 12,000 years.

To assemble people who are interested in finding the links between climate and health, and to develop high-quality research and educational projects. That was the goal of the second meeting held by the Pandemic Centre and the Bjerknes Centre.

What drives the Gulf Stream? To explore the most complicated questions, oceanographers pick up their lightest tools.

The Arctic region heats up more than the rest of the globe. Research suggests ice loss influences winters on the southern continents, though the effect is often overshadowed.

More than a hundred climate researchers meet to discuss research from a Norwegian-Chinese collaboration on climate research.

After a field trip to Kerguelen around Christmas time in 2019, several research studies have emerged. Talin Tuestad and Jarle Børve Sleire from the Department of Earth Science at UiB and the Bjerknes Centre have been working with moraines and sediment cores from the island.

Yes. But variations off the coast of Florida do not necessarily reach Norway, often attributing its warm climate to the Gulf Stream. A new study questions the coherence of the circulation in the North Atlantic Ocean.

A pronounced fall in Caribbean sea levels twenty years ago made researchers wonder about the causes of rising seas.

"The extensive to permanent state of the Arctic Ocean’s sea ice cover is changing rapidly, inevitably turning the surface of the Arctic Ocean from white to blue. Understanding this profound transformation and its implications for the climate, oceans and ecosystems ... equires an understanding of natural sea ice variability throughout geologic time" writes Kristine Steinsland in her PhD thesis. 

A new study in Nature collects large datasets from tundra around the world, showing how reveals how a warming climate might shift the tundra environment from a carbon sink to a carbon source.

While the Arctic tundra loses color as the permafrost thaws, cities are greening.

Global CO2 emissions have increased from last year. This brings both emissions and the CO2 content in the atmosphere to a record high.

DYNASOR seeks to understand the depths of a key region for the global climate system. 

At Bryggen Museum for the next six months, KlimaNinja has taken on the role of exhibition guide. The exhibition takes you on a city tour among knowledgeable residents of Bergen from the 13th century to the present day, right up to the office of Elin Darelius at the Geophysical Institute.

Another ERC Synergy Grant for Bergen, Norce and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research. The i2B - Into the Blue project looks into the past and forward to the future, and is a collaboration between research community in Trømsø, Bergen and Bremerhaven. 

Storms striking at times of high tides have sent the sea through Norwegian streets the last decades. If the same weather had passed another day, the sea could have risen higher, a new study suggests.

Is there a connection between reduced sea ice in the Arctic and waves of cold weather over northern Eurasia? The scientific community has debated this for over a decade. Bjerknes Centre researchers now propose a framework to bridge the alternate views.

I en ny artikkel viser en gruppe forskere at det er mulig å varsle mengden planteplankton i Barentshavet fem år fram i tid. Nøkkelen ligger i havstrømmene som bringer med seg varme og næringssalter.
