Yan Li receives prestigious research support for the quest to understand how extreme ocean surface waves affect us. Such waves pose a threat to ships and infrastructure, becoming increasingly frequent and extreme due to climate changes.
Hanna Sannes, master’s student in biodiversity, ecology and evolution, recently triumphed with her team at NOR-FISHING Student Camp competition, pitching an idea for the digitalization of fish spawning data.
Biological tubes are ubiquitous in animals, and their morphogenesis is a very complex process. In a new article, researchers in the Chatzigeorgiou group demonstrated the key role and function of the protein Anoctamine 10 in notochord formation in the tunicate Ciona.
In 2021, Marie Curtet investigated the evolution of stakeholder participation in European UNECO Biosphere Reserves, and what challenges and opportunities rose from the COVID pandemic and the digital shift as part of her MSc thesis. Curtet was supervised by UNESCO Chair Inger Måren and Alícia Barraclough, and her findings was recently published in The Journal of Environmental Policy & Planning...
Are irreplaceable natural and cultural values in Western Norway in danger of being destroyed by industrial development? For some time, there has been debates about future industrial development in the western Norwegian municipality of Bremanger. UNESCO Chair for sustainable heritage and environmental management, Inger Måren, is engaged in this debate.
PhD candidates Mascha Dix and Jessica Menzies visited the Centre from Saudi Arabia to develop their microinjection skills in the Steinmetz group.
By reconstructing past changes in ocean circulation and climate, paleoceanographer, Nil Irvali, aims to better understand the ongoing changes and improve predictions of our future climate.
On the 12th of August 2024, PhD candidate Aishwarya Ravi successfully defended her thesis titled: “Polarized Recruitment of Secretory Vesicles in the Choanoflagellate Salpingoeca rosetta: Insights into the Origin of Neurosecretion”
A new study led by Associate Professor Eoghan Reeves at the Centre for Deep Sea Research, just published in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, sheds light on one of the pillars of chemosynthetic life at deep sea hot springs – the dissolved natural gas molecule, methane.
“The fact that we have just five years left to reach the Sustainable Development Goals should give us reason to pause — can we not do better?” asks Professor Birgit Kopainsky, who will lead Bergen Summer Research School 2025.
One of the best things of being a researcher is when you get the chance to broaden your horizons. This summer, geochemist Desiree Roerdink traveled to the Barberton Greenstone Belt in South Africa and dove back into the research field of sedimentology to find out how sulfate minerals formed on ancient shorelines, more than 3.2 billion years ago.
Emily Claereboudt will pursue a project in chemical ecology after receiving a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship, while Ruth Styfhals will lead a study on the developmental origin of nervous systems as part of an EMBO Postdoctoral Fellowship.
Watch the recording of our live-streamed remotely-operated dive at Loki's castle hydrothermal vent field in the Arctic, 2300 meters below sea level.
The Annual meeting of the IPBES task force on scenarios and models was held on 17-20 June 2024 in Hayama, Japan hosted by the technical support unit (TSU) located in the Institute of Global Environmental Strategies.
CeSAM researcher Dr. Ali K. Saysel, task force expert and professor at the Department of Geography, system dynamics group in UiB joined the meeting.
In a recent article, researchers from the Steinmetz group characterized the astonishing ability of sea anemones to adapt to food availability by growing and shrinking their body throughout their lives.
In October, the Pandemic Centre is offering an interdisciplinary course for students on preparedness for health crises. The course is primarily aimed at PhD candidates and master's students and will address a range of exciting issues in collaboration with some of the leading experts at UiB.
The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters has awarded Jan Martin Nordbotten and Kent-Andre Mardal the Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) project for the academic year 2025/2026. The project will focus on Mathematical challenges in brain mechanics.
UNESCO recently welcomed 11 new areas into the family of Biosphere Reserves. Two of the countries, Belgium and Gambia, are recieving their first ever BR designations.
