Seafloor Mineral Resources and Prospects of Deep-Sea Mining (26.10.2016)

The Centre for Geobiology (CGB) held a PhD course addressing the geological, environmental and technological challenges facing deep-sea mining and mineral extraction.

Green PARP representations in the attached figure were partially flattened in order to reveal the branching structure as-good-as-possible, while the gray representations show simple projections from 3D to 2D.

3D Visualization World interviewed Dr. Helwig Hauser: Advanced Visualization Research Explores New Paths (25.10.2016)

Advanced visualization is exploring new paths to reveal the function and structure of relevant natural phenomena or other artifacts of interest. Medicine, geoscience, and engineering are just three selected areas where new visualization research is needed. 3D Visualization World interviewed Dr. Helwig Hauser, professor in visualization at the Department of Informatics at the University of Bergen...

Driven by the wind (26.09.2016)

The Gulf Stream transports warm water towards Northern Europe. This flow is driven by northward flows replacing water that sink in the Norwegian Sea, but also by the wind blowing over the sea. In some regions, the wind can be the strongest driver. Carina Bringedal studies the role of the winds at the entrance of the Norwegian Sea

A decade ahead (26.09.2016)

What if we could predict how much sea ice there will be in the Nordic Seas in two years? Or twenty? In the gap between ordinary weather forecasts and climate projections, there is a dialog between the ocean and the atmosphere. Without understanding how they interact, we cannot predict variations in climate, says Marius Årthun.

Warm water governs winter ice (26.09.2016)

North Pole explorers send summer photos of melt water pools and cracks that become harder and harder to cross. If they had winter expeditions, they would see that ice covers as much of the Arctic Ocean as in the past. Only the Barents Sea and the region just north of Svalbard have lost winter ice.

The entire ocean in three boxes (26.09.2016)

Sometimes things are so complicated that you're forced to think simple. Erwin Lambert is an expert at that. With a few, plain boxes he tries to calculate how a rainy future will influence Atlantic currents.

The dCod project participated in conferences (23.09.2016)

In September, dCod-members from Bergen travelled to two different conferences in Barcelona, Spain. As well as gaining insight into the most recent research, they also had the chance to meet old and new friends.

Evidence for the Oldest Eukaryotic Life Found (21.05.2016)

Yuangao Qu, a post-doc at the Centre for Geobiology (CGB), was a member of a team who discovered macroscopic fossils from the 1 560 Myr old Gaoyuzhuang Formation in the Yanshan area of North China. The results have been published in Nature Communications.
