The NORPEC project
at the University of Bergen brings together scientists in 5 different
departments to develop an interdisciplinary palaeoenvironmental research
project, utilising new field methods, analytical techniques, and statistical
approaches. The project involves 5 NORPEC doctoral stipendiats, 3 additional
stipendiats, 3 post-doctoral researchers, 2 external researchers, and
a large national and international network of research collaborators in
9 countries.
