By reconstructing past changes in ocean circulation and climate, paleoceanographer, Nil Irvali, aims to better understand the ongoing changes and improve predictions of our future climate.
A new study led by Associate Professor Eoghan Reeves at the Centre for Deep Sea Research, just published in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, sheds light on one of the pillars of chemosynthetic life at deep sea hot springs – the dissolved natural gas molecule, methane.
One of the best things of being a researcher is when you get the chance to broaden your horizons. This summer, geochemist Desiree Roerdink traveled to the Barberton Greenstone Belt in South Africa and dove back into the research field of sedimentology to find out how sulfate minerals formed on ancient shorelines, more than 3.2 billion years ago.
Watch the recording of our live-streamed remotely-operated dive at Loki's castle hydrothermal vent field in the Arctic, 2300 meters below sea level.
Join us for a live stream of a remotely-operated dive at Loki's castle hydrothermal vent field in the Arctic, 2300 meters below sea level.
Members of the Center for Deep Sea Research have received funding from Akademia Avtalen to organize a field-based course on the Island of Milos (Greece). Here is the description and the application link.
Last week, four members of the Centre for Deep Sea Research led a field excursion for the GEOV-109 Introduction to Geochemistry course at a former pyrite mine in Sunnhordland Geopark.
A lot is happening next week in Bergen, with among other the One Ocean week and the Ocean outlook events. Several members of the Centre for Deep Sea Research are involved in various events.
The Geomicrobiology Laboratory at UiB becomes the first public laboratory in Norway to receive the environmental certification from My Green Lab. The work on the certification has been done with support from the UiB Climate Fund.
Are inactive hydrothermal area really inactive? Maybe not... At least not microbiologically.
New microbiology research shows inactive hydrothermal vents are not so ‘dead’ after all (01.02.2024)
A new microbiology study points to highly active microorganisms living on ‘dead’ chimneys long after fluid flow has ceased to supply them with traditional chemical fuels. The findings have important implications for understanding inactive hydrothermal vents of commercial interest for deep-sea mining.

On 28 November the annual Seismology Seminar took place in Litteraturhuset.
PhD candidate Kui Xiang successfully defended his thesis entitled 'Scattering approaches to modelling and inversion of acoustic and elastic waveform data' on 16 November.
PhD student Kui Xiang gave an interesting trial lecture on artificial learning and seismic modeling and inversion.
Martin Kjenes had on 14. November his trial lecture "On the interplay between magmatism and earthquakes". Martin will defend his PhD thesis next week, on Friday 24. November.
