I completed my master’s degree in Quaternary geology and paleoclimate writing a thesis on climatic developments on the Hardangervidda mountain plateau during the Holocene. The thesis became part of an ongoing research project. The fact that your studies at master’s level often result in publication, I believe, is telling about the quality of education in this field. Quaternary and paleoclimate studies are particularly prominent at the University in Bergen compared to most other universities.
