This paper presents a modelling approach to simulate fracture deformation, propagation, and coalescence in porous media under anisotropic stress and fluid injection.
Yes. But variations off the coast of Florida do not necessarily reach Norway. A new study questions the coherence of the circulation in the North Atlantic Ocean.
Join us for a live stream of a remotely-operated dive at Loki's castle hydrothermal vent field in the Arctic, 2300 meters below sea level.
On the 14th of June 2024, PhD candidate Giulio Rosano successfully defended his thesis titled: “Evolution of the delta family of ionotropic glutamate receptors”
For the second time, Nordhordland UNESCO Biosphere hosted the now annual Biosphere Day 30 May 2024. This years’ theme was Green transitions: Energy, land-use pressure and nature in Nordhordland. Politicians, municipal employees, researchers, and businesspeople all attended to discuss the future needs of the region.
Members of the Center for Deep Sea Research have received funding from Akademia Avtalen to organize a field-based course on the Island of Milos (Greece). Here is the description and the application link.
Offering a unique perspective on the latest advances in Developmental Biology, the Nordic Developmental Biology Societies & Michael Sars Symposium Joint Meeting attracted a diverse audience and strengthened connections between Nordic and international institutions.
On the 21st of May 2024, PhD candidate Yuhong Wang successfully defended her thesis titled: “Nature's View of Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors”
“There is hope in science and research”, said Rector Margareth Hagen in her welcome address to the one hundred PhD candidates from more than thirty countries taking part in the seventeenth Bergen Summer Research School.
“When you give nature a chance, a difficult situation can quickly be reversed. However, in order to do that, decision-makers must have the knowledge they need to take the right measures” - Anne Larigauderie
By studying the distribution range of plants in mountains globally, researchers at the University of Bergen have tested a new hypothesis that may change our understanding of how plants respond to temperature variation.
In February 2024, we welcomed Hoa Nguyen as a postdoctoral researcher to our team.
Yan Li, an associate professor at the Department of Mathematics and Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research, has been working on developing theoretical models to predict the occurrence probability of so-called “rogue waves” or “freak waves.” These waves can be approximately three times higher than the average wave height and are extremely dangerous for ships and other marine operations.
This paper describes a machine learning-based approach to tuning the linear solvers and their parameters during the simulation.
