A network of international researchers launches a European collaboration on October 14th 2021. This collaboration will train a new generation of scientists to understand how past climate changes impacted Antarctica.

From autumn 2021, Kerim Nisancioglu's climate and sustainability course enters a whole new campus: aboard the tall ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl, in the Caribbean. But before she sets sail, Meike Becker will install observation instruments to collect data from the sea surface all around the world.

The medal collection of three generations of Bjerknes researchers find their place at the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research and the Geophysical Institute at UiB. See the opening June 23rd.

The Arctic sea ice is on the move all year. It expands to its maximum during March and reaches its minimum in September. The variation during the year, and from year to year, depends on wind, weather and ocean currents. But the Arctic is changing.

The yearly lecture at the Norwegian Academy of Letters and Sciences.

Erik Kolstad and Scott Bremer organise training in transdisciplinary climate adaptation research for early career researchers.

With an ERC Consolidator Grant grant of 2,6 mill Euro, Stijn De Schepper will develop ancient DNA as a new tool for documenting past sea ice change. 

Large variability is observed in the northern extension of the Gulf Stream, but so far there are no signs of a weakened circulation.
