He moved from the beautiful landscapes of Kerala to the research labs in Bergen. Now, Roshin Raj wants to give back to his roots by contributing with key insights in the Kerala project.

The climate and the westerly winds in the sub-Antarctic are variable, but their behavior over long timescales is uncertain. In her dissertation, Maaike Zwier reveals how the Westerlies have shifted in both strength and position over the last 12,000 years.

To assemble people who are interested in finding the links between climate and health, and to develop high-quality research and educational projects. That was the goal of the second meeting held by the Pandemic Centre and the Bjerknes Centre.

After a field trip to Kerguelen around Christmas time in 2019, several research studies have emerged. Talin Tuestad and Jarle Børve Sleire from the Department of Earth Science at UiB and the Bjerknes Centre have been working with moraines and sediment cores from the island.

It has been almost nine years with courses, summer schools and exchange of knowledge and experiences. Tuesday, the research school CHESS has its final Annual Meeting.  

In February Stefan Sobolowski started as leader for the Global Climate research group. 

They last longer, they are hotter and more frequent. Silvana Gonzalez moved to Bergen to find out more about marine heatwaves along the Norwegian coast.

 

The young researchers in the DEEPICE and SNOWISO projects are seeking deeper insights into our climate and polar history. Researcher Laura Jasmin Dietrich is part of the SNOWISO project to understand what different types of water isotopes in ice cores from Greenland can tell us about the past climate.
