A key result of the NorIndia-project is the risk of a 50 % glacier area loss in the Beas river basin by 2050.

Our researchers are employed at our partner institutions, and are consequently spread in several buildings in Bergen. 

Scenarios with freshwater leading to sluggish currents and less heat being transported to northern high latitudes have been seen as a potential cause for rapid climate changes. In two recent studies we show that while this scenario is plausible in the North Atlantic, the ocean response in the Arctic is quite the opposite.

Mark the name ARCPATH, a new Nordic Centre of Excellence on Artic research. The interdisciplinary research centre focuses on predicting climate in the Arctic and its impacts.

In August this year, the Bjerknes Centre will host the 4th Nordic Conference on Climate Change Adaptation

Recent summer temperatures in Europe are likely the warmest of the last two millennia, a new study shows.
