Carbon System Group meeting

Dear all,

we would like to invite you to a Carbon System Group meeting (17.02., 13-15:00h, BCCR undervisningsrom in the 4th floor) focused on dialogue and strengthening cooperation within the group.

We would like to:

discuss the strategy currently being developed at the Bjerknes Centre and openly discuss concerns related to this strategy

explore new meeting formats that are more interactive, better connected to ongoing activities, and supportive of collaboration and networking

Inspire cooperation by inviting 10 people (chosen alphabetically on the group list - you will receive an additional email if you are among the chosen ones) to give a very short presentation (2–3 slides, 3–5 minutes) addressing:

What you will work on in the next 12 months

What you would love to do scientifically if there were no constraints

What kind of cooperation or expertise would help or be needed to make this scientific wish possible

Our aim is to find a way of meeting that is useful, engaging, and relevant to you, and that helps us stay up to date while strengthening scientific cooperation across the group.

We very much hope you will join us for this session and contribute to shaping both the strategy discussion and a meeting format that works well for the Carbon System Group.

If you have thoughts or wishes regarding the meeting format or topics you would like to see addressed, feel free to share them with us.

All the best

Nadine and Are

BCCR seminar: Observational and Modeling Studies of the Atmosphere from Antarctica, to the Arctic, and to Norway

Abstract

This presentation will highlight current and past projects studying the atmosphere in the Antarctic and the Arctic. The Antarctic is a focus on observational studies with an emphasis on a recent project involving the collection of year-round observations of precipitation at remote locations of Antarctica. The studies of the Arctic are concentrated on the application of the Regional Arctic System Model for regional climate studies. These projects serve as the backdrop for a Fulbright Visit Scholar award to work with scientists at NORCE and UiB for spring 2026. The presentation will close out with a preview of the work to be completed during the visit with a study on extremes of temperature and precipitation.

Speaker information

Mark Seefeldt is a Research Scientist at the National Snow Ice and Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado Boulder. His research encompasses applied meteorology and climatology projects spanning the Antarctic and the Arctic. Current research projects include: the in situ measurement of precipitation at remote sites in Antarctica and regional climate modeling studies of the Arctic using the Regional Arctic System Model (RASM) of the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) models. He has had eight field seasons in the Antarctic and one in the Arctic. Mark is visiting NORCE and UiB this spring as a Fulbright Scholar.
