Why do cities get so much hotter than the countryside, and what can we do about it? In this video, Richard Davy from Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research explains what an urban heat island is and how we can prevent them – in just 60 seconds!

Poster stating: New publicationby Natalya Gallo et al & the question: Are we treating the deep sea in an "out of sight, out of mind"-manner?

A photo of a researcher in the norwegian fjords with the following text: Inès Ollivier will defend her PhD degree at the @unibergen.bsky.social on 16.5.2025 with the thesis "Impact of Surface Processes on the Antarctic Water Isotope Climate Signal".
A photo of a research station in antarctica with the following text: Using field data + models, Ollivier demonstrates how these surface processes impact both modern and ancient climate records. This changes how we read ice cores—and improves climate models too.
A photo of a researcher in antarctica with the following text: For years, scientists thought surface processes—like snow-atmosphere interactions—didn’t affect isotope signals much. But new research by Ollivier shows the opposite: surface exchange and snow mixing significantly shape the isotope record.
A photo of a research station in antarctica with the following text: These cores contain stable water isotopes—natural tracers that reveal changes in the hydrological cycle over time. But to accurately interpret them, we need to understand the processes that affect these isotopes before they’re trapped in the ice.
