Limit global warming to 1.5°C and halve the land ice contribution to sea level this century

Injecting particles into the atmosphere would reduce the temperature increase. But for the world’s ecosystems there is no alternative to mitigation efforts.

Podcast: Uncontrolled logging is taking its toll on wildlife and climate. Does planting trees work the other way around?

Twenty years ago, there was little talk about climate. Climate scientists barely existed. As the Bjerknes Centre celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, we have more than 200 scientists who all explore the Earth's climate.

Ocean currents have brought more heat into the northern seas after 2001. The northern extension of the Gulf Stream has warmed and probably also strengthened.

You have very likely heard about the Gulf Stream. The Iceland-Faroe Slope Jet, you have never heard of. This current is the newest one on the map.

Big data demand new tools. To find out how much CO₂ the Atlantic will take up in the future, researchers pick up an old one. The legacy of Mendel. 

A new study shows that the recent Arctic warming compares to abrupt climate change events in the distant past.

Near the end of the last ice age, the global sea level rose 12–14 meters in less than 350 years. New research traces almost half of the ice melt to Norway and the Barents Sea.

Skiers help Harald Sodemann find out where the Norwegian snow comes from. His project planned for this Easter will, however, be postponed till next year.
