A network of international researchers launches a European collaboration on October 14th 2021. This collaboration will train a new generation of scientists to understand how past climate changes impacted Antarctica.

In the last decades, little sea ice in the Arctic in fall has been associated with cold winters in Europe. A new study signals little reason to prepare for frosty nights and heavy snow, despite less than normal ice in the north.

Oxygen depletion is affecting the ecology in the open ocean as well as near the coast. Anne Gro Vea Salvenes and Elin Darelius write about a recent study aiming to learn more about deoxygenation and its impact. 

Have you ever wanted to go back in time? It is not so easy in the real world, but in the model world anything is possible.

Earth has been a snowball. In a new study, Heiko Goelzer and colleagues have used an Earth system model to study the transitions between a glaciated and a non-glaciated Earth, around 700 million years ago.

She follows Tore Furevik and will lead 200 climate researchers the coming four years.

Meet the Bjerknes Centre’s new director, Kikki Kleiven!

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

"The human footprint is everywhere, even on remote islands", John Birks writes about a new study of past ecology. All around the world, human arrival on islands rapidly affected the local biodiversity.

The acceleration of biodiversity change began millennia ago and was often larger than the shift from the last ice age to modern temperatures, a UiB study published in Science shows.

During the Last Glacial Maxium the atmosphere contained less than half as much CO2 as today. New study finds that both the biological carbon cycling and the ocean circulation were different. 

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

The ocean plays a crucial role in climate regulation, absorbing about 25 percent of the CO2 humans emit to the atmosphere. A new UNESCO report highlights key issues and important questions within ocean carbon research.

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.

The strongest cyclone ever recorded in the Southern Hemisphere reached its peak just as it struck Fiji in 2016. A new study looks at the role of the ocean directly underneath the cyclone.

Rainfall patterns in China over the past half a million years may have been more like the present than previously thought. Gaowen Dai writes about his new study.

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.
