Research
-
Thawing permafrost is not a tipping element for the global climate
However, permafrost is thawing in step with global warming, and this is happening regionally.
-
Polar clouds create wrinkle in the climate models
Scientists need to understand how microscopic water droplets and ice crystals form in clouds in order to predict what the climate will be like in the future.

How do earthquakes stop?
Fabian Barras is a researcher at the interdisciplinary Njord Center at the University of Oslo, where physicists, mathematicians, and geologists collaborate to understand the Earth's physics, conducted this research. He was recently interviewed in Titan the University of Oslo news publication for natural sciences and technology at the University of Oslo.
