Tor Eldevik leads EASAC report, “A sea of change: Europe’s future in the Atlantic realm”.

Mighty floods have carved out deep canyons on Earth. New research suggests this required less power than previously believed. Collecting such data, however, may be demanding. 

The Norwegian Government's Longship project and the work of storing CO₂ under the seabed in the North Sea depend on it: That we have methods to detect leaks and secure the stocks. Now we are one step closer to the goal.

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

Noel Keenlyside at UiB, and Jerry F. Tjiputra and Jens Hesselberg Christensen at NORCE represent Bergen on the list.

Injecting particles into the atmosphere would reduce the temperature increase. But for the world’s ecosystems there is no alternative to mitigation efforts.

Sea level variations in Northern Europe are influenced by winds high above the Atlantic, new study shows. In the western part of the North Sea, the wind direction is more important than the wind speed.

Scientists have revealed how life populating the shadowy ocean below the surface evolved as Earth’s climate cooled over millions of years. 

Highly probable ocean tipping points need to be taken equally seriously as potential singular catastrophic climatic tipping points, write scientists and stakeholders in a new PNAS research perspective.

Addressing gender imbalance in science

After two periods as head of the Bjerknes Centre, Tore Furevik has been appointed Managing Director of the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center. 

Nele Meckler looks for climate answers in tiny droplets hidden in dripstones in tropical caves. The European Research Council supports her with the prestigous ERC Consolidator Grant.

One video on the climate system, every day in December.

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.

Twenty years ago, there was little talk about climate. Climate scientists barely existed. As the Bjerknes Centre celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, we have more than 200 scientists who all explore the Earth's climate.

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.

When the last ice age was over, a large glacier covering the 1000 meter deep Hardangerfjord collapsed. These events at the end of the ice age in Norway, resemble what we are about to witness in today’s Greenland.

Widespread sea ice decline within 250 years unleashed abrupt climate change during the last glacial period. A new study documents that the cause of the severity of the changes resides in the ocean. 

The ocean is a questionable babysitter. Kristine Flacké Haualand takes us to the cradle of midlatitude cyclones.

You have very likely heard about the Gulf Stream. The Iceland-Faroe Slope Jet, you have never heard of. This current is the newest one on the map.
