The aim of my master’s project is to study the glacier fluctuations of the cirque glacier Blåskavlen, located on the Lofoten archipelago in northern Norway.

The multi-disciplinary SmallFish4Food and SmallFishClim projects team initiated Lake Victoria research activities and collaboration to study the role of small fish trade for food security and nutrition.

The Antarctic ice shelves – the floating glaciers surrounding most of the continent – are melting from below as oceanic currents bring warm water into the cavity. But how and how fast is the ice melting? In this Ocean Science Bar, you will learn why Antarctic ice shelves matter, about what happens below them, and about what it’s like to do fieldwork ”down south”.

With new legislation restructuring higher education in Norway, English language master's programs face new obstacles in recruiting students. The System Dynamics Group at the University of Bergen has faced these challenges head on and is working towards maintaining the vibrant community of diverse academic interests and cultural backgrounds it is known for.

Light is probably the most varying environmental variable in pelagic ecosystems, and the most ignored in ecological studies. In this Ocean Science Bar, you will learn how light structures the distribution of zooplankton and fish.

Professor Ali K. Saysel, from the UiB System Dynamics Group, took part in the Annual Meeting of the IPBES task force on scenarios and models. The meeting was held between 17th and 20th June 2024 in Hayama, Japan hosted by the technical support unit (TSU) located in the Institute of Global Environmental Strategies.
