Polar Express 2017 (10.05.2017)
An Express overview over 20 recent Polar Science articles from Bergen was presented on May 10.
Hovedinnhold
This event was part of the Bergen Polar Science Network activity, and the occasion that Ole Arve Misund, present director of NIFES and a member, will be the future director of the Norwegian Polar Institute in Tromsø.
We got many recent results presented, from how UNIS has developed, observations of Cod north of Svalbard, to Polar Lows, sea ice changes due to Atlantic inflow variability, new sea ice tracking algorithms and changes in glacial ice over longer time-scales. Each presenter was only given 1 PPT slide and 2 minutes to present each paper, and 1 minute for a short question. The "express" format worked well in many ways, although the director thought that the O-clock timer beeping once every 60 s was a bit overkill.
