In just a few years, AI has revolutionized weather prediction, performing much faster than conventional models. One of our newest members at the Bjerknes Centre wants to contribute to the development.

Tom Langbehn receives a grant from the Trond Mohn foundation to investigate particularly nutrient-rich zones in the ocean.

The five-year project will transform our understanding of how environmental factors shaped the evolution of behavioural complexity in early Homo sapiens. 

When warmer summers eat at the permafrost, pecking beaks hardly make the situation better. 

A holiday trip to Bergen may have contributed to Joshua Dorrington becoming a researcher at the Bjerknes Centre. His field of study fits well in Western Norway.  

The ocean takes up more than three times as much CO₂ from the atmosphere as in 1860. The main culprit is the higher concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere. Emissions have not stopped rising, new report states.

Withered algae sink through the water, covering the sea floor under a layer of decay. It is fall in the ocean, and some fish swim south. 

The oceans have relieved the atmosphere from ¼ of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. In the Arctic, thawing permafrost may weaken this mechanism, new research indicates.

The Gulf Stream is depicted in one of two new stamps issued for Norwegian mail, in a series highlighting discoveries and inventions.

Young ice breaks apart easier than old ice, and breakup of large areas of sea ice has become increasingly more common.

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.
