🧪🌊 🐙 Light shapes the seasonality of primary productivity in the ice-covered Arctic Ocean, as well as animal behaviour. ✍️ Håkon Sandven and colleagues show that river run-off transported darkens the water column in the #Arctic Ocean. Open access: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

@jogaudard.bsky.social defends his PhD, "Global Change Impacts on Carbon Dynamics in Alpine Grasslands" at @unibergen.bsky.social.

We have a guest! David W. J. Thompson from Colorado State University and @uniofeastanglia.bsky.social is in Bergen this week. Yesterday he presented work on ocean-atmosphere interactions. Here, discussing with Johannes Lutzmann.

❗NEW POSITION: PhD Research Fellow in Arctic Paleoceanography! The position is for a fixed-term period of 3 years with the possibility of a 4th year with career-promoting work (e.g. teaching at the Department). The position is funded by @unibergen.bsky.social 🧪🌊 www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

Field trip to the Folgefonna ice cap. 🧪The PhDs candidates at the Centre for Mountains in Transition at @unibergen.bsky.social had a successful trip to Folgefonna. They set up a weather station that will measure temperature, precipitation, wind, and snow depth. Pictures taken by Håvard Gjesdal:

This spring: Bjerknes training program in machine learning. The program consists of a series of training sessions to provide all researchers at the Bjerknes Centre with tools to discover, understand and apply machine learning and neural networks to their own research🧪 More workshops to come!

The Arctic-Subarctic Ocean Fluxes annual meeting started in Bergen today hosted at the University of Bergen. The workshop is gathering more than 100 researchers. The first day of the workshop with a special focus on celebrating 150 years of modern marine research in the Nordic Seas.🌊🧪

At NORCE Research and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research, there is a vacancy for a postdoctoral fellow position within paleogenomics of the Arctic Ocean. 🌊 🧪It is a period of 3 years, to strengthen our ERC Synergy project @i2b-erc.bsky.social Apply: karriere.norceresearch.no/en/jobs/7334...

How does the climate change affect avalanche activity? Scientists at the Bjerknes Centre and the University of Bergen, has uncovered one of the longest, coherent avalanche records in the world, going 10,000 years back. 🧪 What did they find? 👇 bjerknes.uib.no/en/news/10-0...

Congratulations to our new PhD, Julien-Pooya Weihs! Julien successfully defended his thesis, "Investigating understanding, knowledge, and conceptual difficulties using graph network analysis: A study of learners and epistemologies in cloud physics", today. Photo: Kjersti Daae

Less ice – more light. What will life be like in a bright, new Arctic? Earlier spring blooms mean less food in summer, when fish need it most. Polar cod in the Barents Sea are particularly vulnerable. 🧪 🌊 🦑 @oysteinvarpe.bsky.social @unibergen.bsky.social bjerknes.uib.no/en/news/en-l...

The event offered a warm atmosphere with excellent speakers looking toward the future of science, while also acknowledging Jansen’s astonishing scientific career and his remarkable ability to achieve great things—always while being the nice, humble, and soft‑spoken Eystein we know.

“Eystein set a requirement for the celebration: he wants us to look forward, not backward. And in the spirit of Eystein, it will be a gathering that emphasizes relationships, intellectual exchange and the path forward, a celebration of a vibrant research community", said Dir. @BCCR Kikki Kleiven

Professor Eystein Jansen is certainly worth celebrating! As Professor Eystein Jansen now turns 73 and becomes Professor Emeritus, the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research, the Institute of Earth Science, and the University of Bergen hosted a grand 🧪 celebration in his honor

🌊 With two years of observations from the Disko Bay in Greenland, Linda Latuta et.al are out with a new publication - a milestone in the highly interdisciplinary 🧪Climate Narratives-project. All photos: @islarsh.bsky.social

Shifting climates formed early human behavior. Congratulations to our new PhD, Karl Purcell who defended his thesis, "Reconstructions of southern South Africa hydroclimate during the last glacial cycle, and potential linkages to human behavioural development", at @unibergen.bsky.social today! 🧪

Lake sediments tell of past floods. Congratulations to our new PhD, Johannes Hardeng, who successfully defended his thesis, "Floods and avalanches in a changing climate" at @unibergen.bsky.social today! @josteinba.bsky.social

Including past climate improves projections of the Greenland ice sheet in the future. Congratulations to our new PhD, Charlotte Rahlves from NORCE, who defended her thesis at @unibergen.bsky.social today! 🧪

Ecosystem gas fluxes are crucial to water and energy cycling. Fluxes are measured in closed-loop chambers. But how do you deal with the data? An R package by @jogaudard.bsky.social from @unibergen.bsky.social and Bjerknes simplifies processing and comparison. Check it out! 🧪 doi.org/10.1111/2041...
