Young again: study shows that comb jellies can age in reverse (30.10.2024)

For most animals, ageing is a one-way journey. In a recent PNAS publication, researchers Joan Soto-Angel and Pawel Burkhardt discovered that a species of comb jelly can reverse its life cycle, returning from adulthood to a larval stage.

SEAS annual gathering kicks off with a variety of keynotes from SEAS fellows (25.10.2024)

SEAS fellows span a variety of scientific fields from geology and biology to informatics and law. Some of this variety will also be evident on Monday 28. October, with keynotes and pitches from selected SEAS fellows including topics like «Deep Learning for Smart Shipping» and «the response of macroalgae in a changing climate».

Weak solvability of elliptic variational inequalities coupled with a nonlinear differential equation (08.10.2024)

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.

New technology helps investigate the impact of noise pollution on our oceans (07.10.2024)

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.

European acoustics experts meet in Bergen for the DeuteroNoise Mid-Term Meeting (04.10.2024)

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.

NORMAR-II grant awarded! (01.10.2024)

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.
