Anna-Marie Strehl will defend her doctoral thesis, "Long-term changes in stratification and convection in the Nordic Seas", at the University of Bergen on 21.1.2025.

2025 is a big jubilation year for the Bjerknes Center, and a lot of exciting things await us in the new year! But before we put on our party hats, let’s take a look back at the year we just left behind.

Two instrument-laden buoys ("Knoll" and "Tott") were recently released north of Svalbard, soon to disappear beneath the ice. 

In the latest episode of the Bjerknes Podcast, experts debate the future of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a crucial component of the global climate system. Listen to colleagues discussing the AMOC in a measured and thoughtful manner. 

Klimathon 2024 took place last week in Haugesund, bringing together researchers, professionals, and enthusiasts from various sectors across Norway, as well as experts from Europe and the USA.

The Bjerknes Annual Meeting 2024 took place on October 1. The event was a comprehensive review of current research, providing a platform for knowledge exchange and future collaboration among the Bjerknes community.

Bergen is no stranger to precipitations, after all its nickname is “the rainy city”.  With the new convection-permitting model the future of extreme precipitation in Bergen is revealed in even greater detail. 

In the future Norway will see an increase in intense rain but less snow.

The Workshop on Climate Prediction and Services over the Atlantic-Arctic Sector took place in Bergen on May 27-30. Streams from the workshop are now available.

The Arctic has experienced significant changes due to climate change. A clear sign of this change is the retreat of sea ice, with implications for global weather patterns, ecosystems, and human activity.
