Ocean Science Bar, Sea Level Change, One Tide at a Time?

Tidspunkt

22. mai 2025, 17:00-20:00

Sted

Statsraaden Bar & Reception, Bradbenken 2, Bergen

Welcome to Ocean Science Bar Thursday 22nd of May at 1900 in Statsraaden Bar & Reception!  

(Note the change of date - we normally have Ocean Science Bar the last Thursday of the month but had to make an exception here)

 

Bergen at the turning point: Sea Level Change, One Tide at a Time?

How much has the sea around Bergen risen recently? Is it going to keep rising – and how fast? And what does Greenland have to do with it? Sea level isn’t as steady as it might seem. It moves, slowly but surely. The factors driving these changes are complex, and understanding them is key to knowing what’s ahead for Bergen.

 

In this talk, Konstanze Haubner (University of Bergen, SEAS fellow) and Kristin Richter (NORCE) explore how and why the ocean is slowly reshaping the Norwegian coast. Drawing on research focused on regions like Greenland and Western Norway, they reveal the forces behind sea level change - and what it means for Bergen.

 

Join us for a talk and a pint, meet colleagues and get an update on the latest ocean research - welcome to all! Please help spread the word in your group.

Carbon System group meeting

Hi all As mentioned earlier, the coming Carbon System meetings will focus on the Research Priorities in the new strategy for the Bjerknes centre. The aim is to develop activities on these Research Priorities. These activities will eventually be articulated in a Bjerknes activity plan, that will accompany the strategy. The meeting on the first Research Priority: Advance fundamental science on coupled Earth system processes, interactions, and feedbacks. We will deepen process-based insight into how the Earth system works– including coupled ocean–atmosphere phenomena, the carbon cycle and biogeochemistry, large-scale climate variability, teleconnections, and tipping elements – to constrain uncertainty and enhance confidence in projections of the evolution of the climate system. will take place October 22nd at 9-11 in the 4th floor seminar room west-wing GFI. We will have 3 presentations, to set the scene, and then an organized discussion on the Research Priority: on what we would like to focus on, what we can hope to achieve, and how we can better collaborate on this in our research theme and with the other research themes. The presentations are: Friederike Fröb: Approaching the edge? - The Earth system and carbon cycle response in TIPMIP-ESMs Timothée Bourgeois: Mitigating the fall? - (Marine) carbon dioxide removal experiments in ESMs Are Olsen: Knowing the truth? – Ocean sink uncertainties in the global carbon budget Best Are & Nadine
