Climate-Ocean research and tipping points are common denominators in three new EU funded research projects at the Bjerknes Centre. The project coordinators Christoph Heinze, Noel Keenlyside and Svein Østerhus together with Petra Langebroek received a nice pre-Christmas present, as EU have invited three new projects for funding negotiations. 

– We are part of the delegations, but we are not heard when it matters, Mari Hasle Einang of the Norwegian Children and Youth Council said at the Arctic-Pacific side event at the climate top meeting COP24 in Katowice, Poland

Follow a seminar on new results and the coming IPCC-report in Oslo today.

Will European winters be increasingly mild and wet in the coming years? Will climatic conditions be beneficial for Norwegian fisheries and hydroelectric power production? Such questions of large societal importance are at the heart of the emerging scientific field of climate prediction.

The Mediterranean region is vulnerable to a global warming of two degrees, a new study shows. At 1.5 degrees or less, climate models do not respond in a similar fashion.

Efficient carbon pathway to the deep ocean allows for a strong future uptake, new study shows.

Just now, at the end of March, the Arctic Sea Ice is at its annual maximum. Winter 2018 will be the fourth year in a row with about the same low level.

A long debate of the role of the sea ice and the winter temperatures in Eurasia has got a new contribution. Probably no connection, a new study says.

Who wants to be out at the freezing cold Nordic Seas in winter, chasing storms? A group of oceanographer wants to, read masterstudent Silje Skjelsvik reporting from the Iceland Greenland Project.
