Fra istidene til storpolitikken-Klima-forskningen ved Institutt for geovitenskap
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Palaeoclimate research at The University of Bergen (UiB) has through the last 50 years been developed into a central research environment in Norwegian and international climate research. As a central element of the Bjerknes ... -
Can machine-learning algorithms improve upon classical palaeoenvironmental reconstruction models?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Classical palaeoenvironmental reconstruction models often incorporate biological ideas and commonly assume that the taxa comprising a fossil assemblage exhibit unimodal response functions of the environmental variable of ... -
Warm Arctic-Cold Eurasia pattern helps predict spring wildfire burned area in West Siberia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Extreme wildfires have devastating impacts on multiple fronts, and associated carbon greatly heats the earth’s climate. Whether and how to predict wildfires becomes a critical question. In this study, we find that the ... -
Spatio-temporal averaging of jets obscures the reinforcement of baroclinicity by latent heating
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Latent heating modifies the jet stream by modifying the vertical geostrophic wind shear, thereby altering the potential for baroclinic development. Hence, correctly representing diabatic effects is important for modelling ... -
Sognefjorden in western Norway – physiography, geomorphology, marine levels and deglaciation history
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The landscape formation along Sognefjorden, Norway’s longest and the world’s second longest fjord, involves tectonic activity, glacial erosion during numerous Quaternary ice ages, and mass movements during interglacials ... -
Hvilke klimavariabler er viktig for variasjon i diversitet og komposisjon av floraen på fjelltopper i Nord-Norge?
(Master thesis, 2024-11-20)Denne studien undersøker hvordan diversitet og komposisjon av karplanter på fjelltopper i Nord-Norge påvirkes av dagens klimatiske situasjon. Lignende studier har blitt gjennomført tidligere, men gjerne på et mer globalt ... -
Does pollinator-dependency in vascular plants affect the elevational range expansion of species in the northern Scandinavian mountains?
(Master thesis, 2024-11-20)Rising temperatures have led to the number of species increasing on mountain peaks across Europe. A greater increase in species richness leads to more competition for resources on the mountains which threatens local species. ... -
In vitro responses of Northern Elephant Seals (Mirounga angustirostris) endothelial cells to contaminants under hypoxic and high pressure conditions
(Master thesis, 2024-11-27)Northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris), as apex predators in their marine ecosystem, are vital for maintaining ecological balance. These seals are expert divers, frequently reaching depths below 600 meters, where ... -
Aromatic plants in nests of blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus)
(Master thesis, 2024-11-20)Blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) build their nests out of moss and line them with insulating materials such as feathers, fur, and hair. In the southern areas of the species distribution range, blue tits often add aromatic ... -
Hvilken effekt har klimaendringer hatt på økologiske samfunn i alpine områder?
(Master thesis, 2024-11-20)Hensikt: Økende global oppvarming kan skape store konsekvenser for det biologiske mangfoldet. Med økende temperaturer er det observert en økning av termofile arter, og/eller nedgang av kuldetolerante arter i alpine områder. ... -
Effekter av klimaendringer på artskomposisjon av karplanter på fjelltopper i Nord-Norge
(Master thesis, 2024-11-20)Global oppvarming fører til omfattende endringer i strukturen og sammensetningen av plantesamfunn. Særlig utsatt er økosystemer som befinner seg på de kaldeste marginene på jorden, som fjelltopper. Planter i disse områdene ... -
Long-term changes in stratification and convection in the Nordic Seas : An observational perspective
(Doctoral thesis, 2025-01-21)I løpet av de siste tiårene har de Nordiske Hav gjennomgått en endring mot høyere temperatur og lavere tetthet. I Grønlandshavet ble den tyngste vannmassen i de Nordiske Hav dannet gjennom konveksjon som nådde helt til ... -
Does size matter? The importance of size and winter signal for the smoltification of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, Linnaeus 1758)
(Master thesis, 2024-10-29)In Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) aquaculture, there has been a trend toward producing larger smolt in freshwater (FW) as a way to reduce production time in open net-pens at sea (SW). Earlier, the common way to induce ... -
Geofaglige vurderinger og kvantifisering av stislitasje i daler rundt Jostedalsbreen og i Jostedalsbreen nasjonalpark, Vestland fylke
(Master thesis, 2024-11-20)Det er forventet at det i fremtiden vil bli økt nedbør og høyere temperaturer, i tillegg til at flere turister vil komme til Vestlandet. En økt ferdsel vil kunne gi utfordringer knyttet til å bevare verneverdiene og ... -

Sedimentology and reservoir properties of the Jurassic Cook Formation, in the Northeastern Norwegian North Sea
(Master thesis, 2024-11-20)Porosity and permeability vary significantly within the Lower Jurassic Cook Formation which is a problem when exploring for hydrocarbons or storage of CO2. Reservoir quality varies significantly from well to well, but the ... -
The ontogeny of lymphoid organs and IgM+ B-cells in ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) reveals a potential site for extrarenal B-cell lymphopoiesis: The pancreas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Vaccination of farmed fish is the most effective prophylactic measure against contagious diseases but requires specific knowledge on when the adaptive immune system is fully developed. The present work describes kidney and ... -
IEA Wind Task 49: Reference Site Conditions for Floating Wind Arrays
