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.

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.

In February Stefan Sobolowski started as leader for the Global Climate research group. 

A pronounced fall in Caribbean sea levels twenty years ago made researchers wonder about the causes of rising seas.

- I am a curiosity-driven scientist and passionate about paleoclimate research, says Margit Simon. 

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.

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

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.

Predicting future fisheries is possible only if the present conditions are known. An international team of scientists works to reduce the South Atlantic's lag behind the North.

If the sea rises one meter, will five centimeters more or less matter? That depends on where you are. Climate researchers develop methods for more precise projections of sea level rise in Northern Europe.

In a large-scale airplane campaign researchers will follow water molecules from take-off till landing.

While in most earlier climate models, the water flowing into the Nordic Seas was too cold, current models represent both the water temperature and the resulting heat transport better.

The oxygen level in the global ocean has declined, limiting the living space of fish. New research is aimed at improving future oxygen projections.

Researchers unveil a new relationship for climate models linking carbon and heat uptake with the water-column stability in the Southern Ocean.

With a new La Niña in the Pacific, colder conditions could be expected in the North Atlantic. However, in northern Europe and Russia, climate warming balances the cooling.

In the last decades, little sea ice in the Arctic in fall has been associated with cold winters in Europe. A new study signals little reason to prepare for frosty nights and heavy snow, despite less than normal ice in the north.

Have you ever wanted to go back in time? It is not so easy in the real world, but in the model world anything is possible.
