First-year students in the Bachelor’s program in Earth Science and Informatics got hands-on experience with drone-flying while enjoying the magnificent scenery from the top of Bergen.
In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of elliptic variational inequalities coupled with a nonlinear ODE. Considering an elliptic equation in the domain allows us to include a fully nonlinear ODE on the contact surface which gives us new applications of frictional adhesion contact problems. 
At the Michael Sars Centre, the group of Marios Chatzigeorgiou develops unique tools to study underwater noise as part of the pan-European project DeuteroNoise.
After two years of ground-breaking work on marine noise pollution, the pan-European consortium gathered at the Michael Sars Centre to share their progress and coordinate future efforts.
At the end of September it was announced that the NORMAR-II grant for upgrades to the Ægir 6000 ROV system has been approved! This funding ensures the Centre’s continued access to this essential deep-sea infrastructure and will allow us to keep the ROV system state-of-the-art. We’re looking forward to many more dives with upgraded equipment, pushing the boundaries of deep-sea exploration.
