ICOS data very important for ocean acidification research
12.06.18 - Uni Research Climate
Ocean data from ICOS enable researchers to monitor and follow ocean acidification development over time. This is imoprtant not just for researchers, but also for governments and local communities.
Climate researchers in Bergen have a long-lasting collaboration with China
16.04.18 - Uni Research Climate
For more than 15 years, climate researchers in Bergen have been in cooperation with Chinese colleagues.
Project on climate models and Big Data gets Toppforsk funding

Climate scientist Jerry Tjiputra at Uni Research aims to develop a new method to disentangle and predict future climate change in enormous amounts of data.

About the Department

Uni Research Climate is a multidisciplinary research department that carries out research into the climate of the past, present and future.The department consists of approximately 60 researchers, mostly holding a PhD, and with an annual turnover of about 60 million NOK. The department projects focus on climate questions on a regional, national or global scale.

Uni Research Climate has an international profile, with main focus on Northern Europe and the Polar-regions, but has an increasing numbers of projects that look at climate challenges in developing countries. Uni Research Climate has a leading role in Norway for the use and further development of the new Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM), with expertise in global climate modelling and climate dynamics. The Climate Service Centre started up in 2012, and is a strategical priority area for Uni Research. Uni Research Climate is a partner in Norsk Klimaservicesenter and is one of four partners in the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research (BCCR).

Uni Research Climate’s particular strengths are:

understanding climate
climate modelling
scenarios for future climate development
quantifications of climate changes
