Norway has more than 1700 named fjords, attracting tourists from all over the world. But what is a fjord? What goes on under the surface? In this episode of the Bjerknes Centre's podcast, Natalya Gallo discusses fjords in a changing environment with fellow researchers Elin Darelius, Agnes Weiner and Martine Røysted Solås.
How do changes in the water influence fish and other creatures? What can the past tell us about the years to come? Can the future of the fjords be predicted?

Is the AMOC Going to Collapse? (00:34:00)
In the latest episode of the Bjerknes Podcast, experts debate the future of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a crucial component of the global climate system. Listen to colleagues discussing the AMOC in a measured and thoughtful manner.
There is an ongoing debate among scientists regarding the potential collapse or slowdown of the AMOC. Both scientific support and contrasting views can be found among colleagues at the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research. In this new episode of the Bjerknes Climate Podcast, host Stephen Outten discusses these two viewpoints with Andreas Born and Marius Årthun.
Klimahistorie (00:34:48)
Eivind Heldaas Seland og Kikki Kleiven har skrevet bok om klimahistorie. Her forteller de om middelalderens varmeperiode, om temperaturfallet under den lille istiden og om hvordan klimakriser har skapt både stagnasjon og nye idéer.
Eivind Heldaas Seland er professor i historie ved Universitetet i Bergen.
Kikki Kleiven er direktør ved Bjerknessenteret for klimaforskning og førsteamanuensis ved Universitetet i Bergen.

Predicting algae blooms - a new tool in our arsenal (00:22:44)
Phd-student Edson Silva at the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center is talking with our host Stephen Outten, Senior researcher at the Nansen center, about one of the newest tools in our predicting arsenal, an algae bloom predictor. Trained on the coast of north Norway, it can be a great support for managing our costs, but it can be retrained for usage anywhere.
Support and editing by Ingjald Pilskog, associate professor at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences.
Not so green transition (00:13:39)
In Bergen mid-March, the climate festival Varmere, våtere, villere (Warmer, wetter, wilder) filled three floors in Bergen over three days, for talks and debates on climate change and necessary solutions.
Devyn Remme, PhD Candidate, at the Center for Climate and Energy Transition (CET), University of Bergen, works in research of the social and environmental consequences of the transition to electric cars from a global perspective.

At the festival she was in the "Around the World with Climate Science" to talk about her experiences from climate change in Fiji, and motivated her to become a climate scientist. She joins host Ingjald Pilskot in the festival podcast booth.
The Breathing Ocean (00:16:52)
Oxygen is important for the living creatures in the deep ocean. When global oceans warm, some processes lead to less oxygen in the deep. This somewhat scary trend is what Rachael Sanders investigate in her work in the project O2Ocean.
In Bergen, mid-March, the climate festival Varmere, våtere, villere (Warmer, wetter, wilder) filled a 3-floored house in Bergen over three days, for talks and debates on climate change and necessary solutions.
Rachael Sanders, postdoctoral fellow at NORCE and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research was at stage with a talk on the breathing ocean and the oxygen situation in the world oceans today.
As the global oceans warms, there are processes driving change in the ocean interior. As we know warmer water can hold less gas, the ocean takes up less oxygen from the surface. We also know, that the oceans warms, it get more stratified, and not so much waters – with fresh oxygen is transported into the deep ocean.
– In this project, I look at trends within climate change. This is very interesting, but also scary, Sanders admits in the podcast.
Listen to an interesting conversation with podcast host Ingjald Pilskog, on chemical oceanography from the Southern ocean surrounding the Antarctica, to the North Atlantic in a specific cold anomaly episode in 2015.
And finally, please remember that the Bjerknes Climate Podcast is a scienctist-to-scientist talk – so be prepared for some specialized knowledge!
We are very fond of mud! - paleoclimate with Eystein Jansen (00:24:47)
Professor Eystein Jansen is one of the founders of the Bjerknes centre for climate research. His field, paleoclimate, is vital to understand how earths climate has changed and is still changing. By studying the past, we have been able to do good predictions of how we humans affect the climate we have now, and the future climate.
Our host Stephen Outten is from the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center and our co-host Ingjald Pilskog is from the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences.
Instruments in the dark – How to understand Antarctica (00:18:45)
Inès Ollivier spent a year in Antarctica where she tended instruments that gives us an understanding on how snow accumulates into the massive ice sheet that we know as the Antarctic. Now she is well into her first year as a PhD-student in the EU-funded DEEPICE project. In this project they studies proxies in deep ice cores to understand the past climate dynamics in Antarctica.
Inès Ollivier is a PhD-student at the Geophysical institute, UoB, and a Bjerknes Centre researcher. Learn about her work together with our host Stephen Outten from Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center and co-host Ingjald Pilskog from Western Norway University of Applied Sciences.

The climate cost of planting trees (00:21:00)
Most people has a good relationship with forests and the uncontrolled logging around the world is taking its toll on both the wildlife, but also the climate. It stand to reason that letting the forests grow and claim land should be unconditionally positive for the planet, but as often it is not so simple.
Priscilla Mooney, a researcher at NORCE and the Bjerknes centre, talks to our host Stephen Outten and co-host and producer Ingjald Pilskog about the consequences of both the destruction of the forests and the unexpected costs of letting the forests claim the higher latitudes and planting new forests without a proper understanding of the effects.
Parisavtalen 5 år etter – med direktør Tore Furevik (00:24:27)
Parisavtalen vart vedteken under FNs klimatoppmøte i desember 2015, etter mange års arbeid for gjennomslag for internasjonal klimahandling. I den står det at me skal etterstrebe å halde temperaturauken til under to grader. Kvar er vi no, fem år etterpå?
Vi skal ikkje ein gong seie orda «2020 har vore eit spesielt år», sagt uttallege gongar sidan mars, og især no i slutten av desember gjenteke i årskavalkadar. For klimaet sin del har det likevel vore første året ein reduksjon i utslepp av CO2 sidan vi byrja å måle utslepp – sjølvsagt av grunnar vi helst skulle ha latt vere å ha gjennomført.
Tore Furevik, direktør ved Bjerknessenteret, som var i Paris i desember 2015, oppsummerar dei siste fem åras utvikling – både for politikken generelt, og for seg personleg, ei utvikling han meiner har endra han frå pessimist til optimist.
Du har no lytta til ein podcast frå Bjerknessenteret for klimaforsking.

David Chandler, a postdoctoral fellow at the Bjerknes Centre and NORCE, are trying together with his colleagues to unravel these mysteries. In this episode David Chandler takes Stephen Outten and Ingjald Pilskog to the Antarctica where we are discussing how global warming are melting the ice-sheet, in some places irreversibly, leading to sea level rise and life altering climate changes to people all over the globe.

Igor Ezau - Heatwaves, the weather that can kill thousands in developed countries (00:31:10)
Heatwaves are the extreme weather events that kills the most worldwide together with its close cousin the long-term draught. Peer-reviewed analysis places the European death toll at more than 70,000, in the 2003 European heatwave alone [1]. This was in developed countries with the resources to mitigate the worst consequences. It lasted one month which makes this event as mortal as the ongoing pandemic.
The WHO defines heatwaves as more than three days with temperatures above 25 degrees C. This is when conditions start to get dangerous to humans. Other definitions are linked to higher temperatures than the normal temperatures – but what happens when the normal temperatures rise? Will there be less heatwaves?
Igor Ezau dicuss with Stephen outten and Ingjald Pilskog in this new episode “Heatwaves, the weather that can kill thousands in developed countries”.
