_{Weekly Theory Seminar.}

Geir Kjetil Sandve: 

To teach introductory programming, one of the first choices one will face is which programming language to use. What criteria to use as a basis for this choice is however not obvious. I will briefly present some characteristics of the languages Java, Python and R that in my opinion influences their suitability for learning programming. This will be followed by an open discussion phase, where I hope that those attending would chime in with their experiences with learning or teaching programming to people from different backgrounds.

Identification of multiple chromosomal inversions in Arctic cod (Arctogadus glacialis) – and its putative implications for defining interspecies relationships

We would like to invite all students and teachers in the Earth Science community in Norway to the annual GeoLearning Forum 7-8th November at Scandic Ørnen in Bergen. 

PhD candidate Lina Allesson at the Department of Biosciences will be defending the thesis "CO2:O2 balance in boreal freshwaters in a changing climate" for the degree of PhD.

Hylleraas seminar, hosted in Tromsø

I will explain how a recent “universal wall-crossing” framework of Joyce works in equivariant K-theory, which I view as a multiplicative refinement of equivariant cohomology. Enumerative invariants, possibly of strictly semistable objects living on the walls, are controlled by a certain (multiplicative version of) vertex algebra structure on the K-homology groups of the ambient stack. In very special settings like refined Vafa-Witten theory, one can obtain some explicit formulas. For moduli stacks of quiver representations, this geometric vertex algebra should be dual in some sense to the quantum loop algebras that act on the K-theory of stable loci.

On the occasion of Jørund Gåsemyr retiring earlier this year, we invite you to a half-day seminar celebrating his contributions to statistics over many years.

We are happy to host three guest lecturers at CBA:  Professor Emma Kritzberg, Professor Lars Tranvik, and Professor James B. Cotner. Lina Allesson will defend her thesis on the 4 November 2022, and the day before there will be a “mini-symposium” with three lectures covering various aspects of the carbon cycling in freshwaters.

Title: “Towards a refinement of the 'water-isotope-thermometer' in polar snow”

Speaker: Michael Town, University of Bergen

Welcome to our weekly lunch seminar held in the dScience lounge area! This event is open to PhD candidates and postdocs.

Welcome to the a new Teaching and Learning Journal Club Meeting 02. November 12.15.

By Geir H. Bolstad from NINA, Trondheim.

Iain Stewart is the El Hassan bin Talal Research Chair in Sustainability at the Royal Scientific Society (Amman, Jordan),
Co-Director of the Centre for Climate Change and Sustainability at Ashoka University, India, and Professor of Geoscience Communication at the University of Plymouth. 

Title for his talk is: 
Selling Planet Earth: communicating geoscience to the public.

Hylleraas seminar, hosted in Oslo

When a body (such as an offshore structure and ship) exists on the surface of the ocean, it is influenced by waves. At the same time, waves are deformed by the body. This interaction is essential for considering the problems of bodies in waves. Although these are complicated systems, the theory is well-established based on linear potential flow, and this explains these phenomena very well.
In the seminar, some applications of potential theory-based analysis are shown, including the seakeeping of a ship, multi-bodies interaction, and elastic plate in waves. In addition, the progress of the study of wave-ice interaction in a marginal ice zone is presented which is a current work in UiO.

Cand.Pharm Anne Elisabeth Muri Sverdrup Efjestad at the Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is  defending the thesis "Use of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors: length of treatment, sex differences and comedication with focus on psychotropics, analgesics and heart rate related drugs" for the degree of Doctor Philosophiae.
