While the Arctic tundra loses color as the permafrost thaws, cities are greening.

DYNASOR seeks to understand the depths of a key region for the global climate system. 

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.

I en ny artikkel viser en gruppe forskere at det er mulig å varsle mengden planteplankton i Barentshavet fem år fram i tid. Nøkkelen ligger i havstrømmene som bringer med seg varme og næringssalter. 

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.

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.

When a fishing vessel sets course for Bear Island, the captain knows only which areas are ice-covered now, not where the ice will be tomorrow. In a few years, sea ice predictions will make routing easier and safer.

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

The North Icelandic Irminger Current may be seen as the Gulf Stream’s little finger. Follow this finger to its tip in Stefanie Semper's account of her new study.

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.

PhD-candidates Sonja Wahl, Paul Halas and professor and researcher Lars H. Smedsrud packed their bags and set off to Bergsjøen, Ål to convey polar climate science at the Ice Music Festival 2022.

Glider deployment in the Uummannaq region of Baffin Bay.

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.

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.

The physical borders of the Arctic are being reset.

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

As the ice was retreating at the end of the ice age, the melting was suddenly interrupted. A cold period of more than a thousand years followed.

A comparison of Greenland ice sheet models shows that while the surface mass balance is most realistic in the most complex models, simpler and faster models compare fairly well.

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.
