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.

The oxygen level in the global ocean has declined, limiting the living space of fish. New research is aimed at improving future oxygen projections.

The deep-ocean floor is the least explored ecosystem on the planet. DNA collected during 15 international deep-sea expeditions reveal the regions and organisms most important for removing carbon from the surface. Tristan Cordier writes about his new study.

Four female scientists, four interesting stories. Meet Victoria Miles, Elaine McDonagh, Shuang Gao and Lise Øvreås. 

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.

Interdisciplinary results of MOSAiC drift published

Studying ancient DNA stored in ocean sediments, can help researchers understand the role of declining sea ice. Danielle Grant shares her experiences in this podcast. 

Researchers unveil a new relationship for climate models linking carbon and heat uptake with the water-column stability in the Southern Ocean.

We are looking for an associate professor in large-scale atmospheric dynamics, to lead one of our four research themes. 

The heat transport into the Nordic Seas has increased steadily in volume and temperature over the last century, according to recent study.

The Research Council of Norway funds eight new project on Chinese-Norwegian climate research in the Arctic. Five of these, awarded a total of NOK 50 million, are led by researchers affiliated by the Bjerknes Centre.

Forskningsrådet deler ut åtti millioner til norsk-kinesisk samarbeid om klimaforskning i Arktis. Femti av disse går til Bjerknessenterets forskere.

Global warming changes the conditions for ecosystems in the Barents Sea. A recent study found large variations between years and decades, though only modest changes on longer time scales.

One of the two recipients of the ICTP Prize this year was one of the newest additions to the CONFER team: Rondrotiana Barimalala. She recently started working at NORCE and is currently based in South Africa. 

Pollen can travel far through the air, allowing scientists who find them to trace the winds of the past. In South Georgia ancient pollen may reveal shifts in the westerlies.

Recent observations have shown a reduction of water masses travelling southwards in the deep ocean.

With equipment normally found in hospitals, geologists can analyze material quicker. Jan Magne Cederstrøm writes about the use of CT scans in a study of debris transported by glaciers.

Follow the events on 4th, 5th and 6th of November.

With a new La Niña in the Pacific, colder conditions could be expected in the North Atlantic. However, in northern Europe and Russia, climate warming balances the cooling.
