Robin Guillaume-Castel was one of the first researchers to arrive at UiB as part of the LEAD AI programme. One year in, his project shows promising results on explaining how neural networks work to predict extreme weather events like heavy rainfall.
The University of Bergen is represented by four of the 19 finalists in the national competition to establish new AI centres. Discover the candidates here.
The main goal of the centre is to transform the provision of weather, climate and environmental information to enable better- informed decisions in the face of unprecedented environmental challenges. All this by using artificial intelligence.
The University of Bergen (UiB) will host another seven international research fellows after a very successful application round in this year’s competition for MSCA funding from the EU. The grants will fund the researchers' stay at UiB for two years.
Rogue or freak waves (monster waves) are exceptionally large waves that can suddenly loom into existence, seemingly from nowhere. Are these waves truly different from ordinary storm waves, or are they just what you should expect to see if you wait long enough?
In the side event “License to Operate – The Arctic Energy Transition” at Arctic Frontiers 2025, stakeholders from across sectors joined forces to discuss the challenges lying ahead for the Arctic and the green transition of energy markets in a geopolitically challenging situation.
Coral reefs produce a lot of oxygen during the day (thanks to photosynthesis), but at night the oxygen levels decrease. Can this threaten fishes at the reef, or do they have strategies to survive? To find out we spent six months of fieldwork and experiments on the island of Moorea in French Polynesia.
The Antarctic ice shelves – the floating glaciers surrounding most of the continent – are melting from below as oceanic currents bring warm water into the cavity. But how and how fast is the ice melting? In this Ocean Science Bar, you will learn why Antarctic ice shelves matter, about what happens below them, and about what it’s like to do fieldwork ”down south”.
Light is probably the most varying environmental variable in pelagic ecosystems, and the most ignored in ecological studies. In this Ocean Science Bar, you will learn how light structures the distribution of zooplankton and fish.
Polar Network Event, Bergen, April 11, 2024
On Thursday, April 11, we had the first event of the Polar Science Network this year.The event took place at Mao’s Lille Røde (Det Akademisk Kvarter) with two exciting and different perspectives of fieldwork in Antarctica.
The first presentation was given by Elin Darelius about her recent fieldwork on the Fimbul ice shelf. She and a group of... Les mer
Deep sea research is a gateway to unlocking mysteries both within our planet and beyond, offering insights that can have profound implications for science, industry, and our understanding of life in the universe.
This Polar Express, we had 7 Project presentations and 6 presentations of recent Polar Science articles from Bergen, which were presented on Friday, November 24, in the Bjerknes Lecture Room (West Wing, Geophysical Institute, 4th floor).
HRH Crown Prince Haakon of Norway visited the Bjerknes Centre to learn more about our research – and to check the snow he sampled himself in Greenland last summer.
In a solemn ceremony in the University Hall, the eight new honorary doctors at UiB were honored. They received the award for their outstanding work for science.
The heat transport into the Nordic Seas has increased steadily in volume and temperature over the last century, according to recent study.
Clemens Spensberger's research aims to drastically improve prediction of weather incidents, by describing and establishing climate links between different geographical regions.
Once again, the University of Bergen is ranked among the top ten oceanography universities in the world.
Digital summer research school.
