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.

  • Training drones to detect greenhouse gas sources

    How do you map something that is both invisible and odorless? Researchers at the University of Oslo have trained drones to find the best places to measure greenhouse gases on their own.
