Ocean science bar: Arctic Sea Ice - the big picture and the small cracks

Arctic sea ice is shrinking fast, reshaping the Arctic Ocean and its role in the global climate system. As the ice retreats and changes character, its influence on ecosystems and societies is shifting in ways we are only beginning to grasp. In this event, three researchers will show how climate prediction and sea‑ice modelling shed light on what the Arctic of tomorrow may look like.

10,000 years of avalanches

At the bottom of a small lake in Hardanger, lies 10,000 years of avalanche history buried. Now, scientists at the Bjerknes Centre and the University of Bergen, has uncovered one of the longest, coherent avalanche records in the world.

A brighter future may not suit everyone

As Arctic sea ice surrenders to open water, the polar buffet expands. For polar fish the times may still be lean. Serving hours fall out of sync with their appetite.

Riding the storm

A large-scale flight campaign on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean aims to uncover why some extratropical cyclones develop into storms, while others fizzle out.
