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.

In contrast to the North Atlantic, a new study in Nature Communications shows that the overturning circulation in the Nordic Seas strengthens toward the end of the century. The overturning circulation in the Nordic Seas could therefore be a stabilizing factor in a weakening AMOC.

PhD candidate Devyn Remme on the social and environmental consequences of the transition to electric cars from a global perspective.

Recurring marine heat waves combined with acidification threaten productivity in regions important for fisheries.

Vandhna Kumar on sea level rise in the Pacific Islands, and her climate change motivations taking her from Fiji to Bergen.

With the warming oceans, we have to be aware of tipping points and regime shifts in marine ecosystems. Join us on a workshop on ocean tipping points Friday April 14. 2023.

Art can make climate change easier to grasp. As part of a current research project, an exhibition at the Bergen art museum Kode features climate art from Greenland and the Pacific.

Oxygen is important for the living creatures in the deep ocean. When global oceans warm, some processes lead to less oxygen in the deep. This somewhat scary trend is what Rachael Sanders investigate in her work in the project O₂Ocean.

HRH Crown Prince Haakon of Norway visited the Bjerknes Centre to learn more about our research – and to check the snow he sampled himself in Greenland last summer.

Have you heard the sound of ice? Read our researchers' account from the Ice Music Festival, where instruments made from ice set the tone for cold science in a moonlit castle.

A network for young climate scientists brings together disciplines and nationalities from all around the Atlantic Ocean.

What does one keep around when looking back at a long career? We celebrate Professor Emeritus John Inge Svendsen.

Kjetil Våge and ROVER  investigate the consequences of a changing climate along the sea-ice edge off the east coast of Greenland. The European Research Council supports his efforts with a prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant

A new Science paper shows that human-caused changes to Amazonian ecosystems are hundreds to thousands of times faster than those of natural climatic and geological processes.

The North Atlantic Ocean oscillates between warm and cool decades. A century is too short to show why. Climate models and old seashells will extend the measurement series to the Viking age.

The circulation in the North Atlantic Ocean can dampen or enhance temperature increase and ice melt in certain decades. Researcher warns against interpreting reduced temperature increase as a sign of a slow-down in climate change.

Variations on various time scales can lead to apparent intensifications or pauses in global warming. Nour-Eddine Omrani writes about his recent study on the mechanisms behind oscillations in the North Atlantic.

Professor Eystein Jansen on the importance of paleoclimate.

Jenny Sjåstad Hagen is working on taking flood prediction the next step by introducing artificial intelligence.

The world’s oceans take up twenty five percent of our annual CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. This helps slow down global warming. Keeping track of this uptake is essential for understanding climate change.
