Bjerknes Climate Podcast

Norway has more than 1700 named fjords, attracting tourists from all over the world. But what is a fjord? What goes on under the surface? In this episode of the Bjerknes Centre's podcast, Natalya Gallo discusses fjords in a changing environment with fellow researchers Elin Darelius, Agnes Weiner and Martine Røysted Solås.

How do changes in the water influence fish and other creatures? What can the past tell us about the years to come? Can the future of the fjords be predicted?

Natalya Gallo is a biological oceanographer and a researcher at NORCE and the Bjerknes Centre.
Elin Darelius is a physical oceanographer and a professor at the Geophysical Institute at the University of Bergen, and the Bjerknes Centre.
Agnes Weiner is a paleoclimatologist and a researcher at NORCE and the Bjerknes Centre.
Martine Røysted Solås is a marine biologist and researcher at the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Bergen, and the Bjerknes Centre.

In the latest episode of the Bjerknes Podcast, experts debate the future of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a crucial component of the global climate system. Listen to colleagues discussing the AMOC in a measured and thoughtful manner. 

There is an ongoing debate among scientists regarding the potential collapse or slowdown of the AMOC. Both scientific support and contrasting views can be found among colleagues at the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research. In this new episode of the Bjerknes Climate Podcast, host Stephen Outten discusses these two viewpoints with Andreas Born and Marius Årthun.

Eivind Heldaas Seland og Kikki Kleiven har skrevet bok om klimahistorie. Her forteller de om middelalderens varmeperiode, om temperaturfallet under den lille istiden og om hvordan klimakriser har skapt både stagnasjon og nye idéer.

Eivind Heldaas Seland er professor i historie ved Universitetet i Bergen.
Kikki Kleiven er direktør ved Bjerknessenteret for klimaforskning og førsteamanuensis ved Universitetet i Bergen.

Phd-student Edson Silva at the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center is talking with our host Stephen Outten, Senior researcher at the Nansen center, about one of the newest tools in our predicting arsenal, an algae bloom predictor. Trained on the coast of north Norway, it can be a great support for managing our costs, but it can be retrained for usage anywhere.
