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.

BCCR Seminar: “Past Climate from Water Isotopes in a High-Resolution Greenland Ice Core and Speleothem Fluid Inclusions”.

BCCR Monday Seminar will be given by Prof. Ryu Uemura from Nagoya University. He will talk about “Past Climate from Water Isotopes in a High-Resolution Greenland Ice Core and Speleothem Fluid Inclusions”. Abstract This presentation will introduce two recent studies using the stable isotopes of water to investigate past climate variability. The first study presents a high-resolution ice core drilled by a Japanese team from southeastern Greenland. A multi-month age scale was developed by matching oxygen isotope data with isotope-enabled climate model outputs (1871–2020 CE). High snow accumulation (ca. 1 m yr⁻¹) preserved sub-seasonal signals, enabling monthly order dating. The chronology was validated using accumulation rates, hydrogen peroxide, and volcanic signals. The second study analyzes fluid inclusion (liquid water trapped in calcite) isotopes in a stalagmite from Okinawa (Japan) to assess hydroclimate responses to volcanic and solar forcings during the Holocene. The results show that clusters of large volcanic eruptions coincide with cooling phases, suggesting that clusters of volcanic activity during the mid-Holocene likely contributed to climate change at multi-decadal scales via a teleconnection between the subtropical Northwest Pacific and the North Atlantic regions.
