Are inactive hydrothermal area really inactive? Maybe not... At least not microbiologically.
Isak Hammer is a new Ph.D. student at the Department of Mathematics and his project is part of the Center for Modeling of Coupled Subsurface Dynamics. We met him to find out more about his background and the project.
The Environmental Toxicology group attended the annual winter meeting at Beitostølen arranged by the Norwegian Society for Pharmacology and Toxicology (NSFT) amidst the breathtaking mountain winter landscape, taking home two presentation awards.
A new microbiology study points to highly active microorganisms living on ‘dead’ chimneys long after fluid flow has ceased to supply them with traditional chemical fuels. The findings have important implications for understanding inactive hydrothermal vents of commercial interest for deep-sea mining.
During February 2024 we offer a mini-series of three webinars dealing with hydrogen and ammonia. Join us to get valuable updates on different aspects of the current developments in hydrogen technology, economy and legislation!
January 25, the CULTIVATE project held a Seeds of Good Anthropocenes workshop in Nordhordland UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The goal was to envision positive, more sustainable futures for cultural heritage and cultural landscapes in the Nordhordland region.
BECOME had its first in-person meeting in France 15-17 January 2024, in Fontainebleau Biosphere Reserve and in Paris.
This seminar was not recorded but a similar presentation by chief economist Eirik Wærness along with much more information, can be found at the Energy Perspectives webpage at Equinor.com, see the right hand column for links.
The paper argues the importance of two central features of simulation tools for research into mathematical and numerical models. The requirements are rigour, ensuring that the governing equations are accurately solved, and flexibility, allowing experimentation with different physical models and solution techniques.
Researchers come to Bergen from all over the world to solve global challenges. Simon Øverland has invited some of them to tell us about some solutions for the future.
Professor emeritus Jan Mangerud has made outstanding research contributions in Quaternary geology during his career spanning more than 60 years . Throughout his research career, he has shown a unique ability to drive the subject forward, to adopt new methods and non traditional approaches, and to inspire students and colleagues both nationally and internationally.
Siri Haugum and Vigdis Vandvik have been part of a global network researching the effects of extreme drought using the Heathland Centre at Lygra to collect experimental data.
Parasitic flatworms undergo drastic changes throughout their life cycle, including a rewiring of their nervous systems. A new paper explores the molecular mechanisms underlying this remarkable feature.
Welcome to the digital and free SDG Conference in Bergen 2024! The theme is Take a look at the programme and register today.
2023 has been an eventful year for the UNESCO Chair group at the University of Bergen. This year we have graduated three MSc students and one PhD student, started two new projects, taught sustainability science, held many presentations, and not least been part of arranging Norway’s first Biosphere Day in Nordhordland.
On the 15th of December 2023, PhD candidate Ronja Göhde successfully defended her thesis titled: “Secretory vesicle protein homologues in choanoflagellates”.
The recently published paper presents a general methodology to compute fluid phase equilibria, with persistent unknowns and general state definitions. It represents a major step towards consistent compositional flow simulation under local equilibrium assumptions.
