There have been several PhD students working within EMERALD, but only one financed by the EMERALD project, namely Eirik Aasmo Finne. Eirik’s disputation took place in Department of Geosciences on June 12^th 2024. He has been supervised by Jarle W Bjerke at NINA in Tromsø where he spent most of his PhD time. He has been a student at Department of Geosciences where he has been co-supervised by the EMERALD leaders Lena M. Tallaksen and Frode Stordal.

Professor of hydrology, Lena Merete Tallaksen, Dept. of Geosciences, University of Oslo, has been awarded the International Hydrology Prize – the Doodge Medal by the International Association of Hydrological Sciences. She is the first in Norway to receive this award.

Vegetation reflect different amounts of solar radiation, the brightest ones contribute to keeping surface temperatures low in summer.  EMERALD PhD Eirik Aasmo Finne has performed the highest measurement of albedo of all vegetation species worldwide.
 

"Permafrosten i Finnmark tiner raskere enn hva forskere hadde sett for seg", skriver Dagens Næringsliv. Studieområdet Iškoras er et av områdene der forskere i EMERALD måler og modellerer karbonflukser og permafrosttining.  

Join the EMERALD Open Science Day on 17 October! On this full day seminar we will gather Norwegian communities working within the field of ‘ecological climatology’. Welcome to Klimahuset at Tøyen for a programme full of EMERALD science!

Norbert Pirk ved Institutt for Geofag UiO tildeles det prestisjetunge ERC starting grant.

En av modellene som brukes av FNs klimapanel er åpen, gratis og skal kunne brukes av alle, men enkelt har det ikke vært – fram til nå. Ny programvare gjør det lettere å involvere flere i økologisk klimaforskning. Les mer i denne artikkelen på titan.uio.no.

Myr og permafrost lagrer enorme mengder karbon. Men inngrep og varmere klima gjør at drivhusgasser slipper ut. Ingen vet hvor mye. Det gjør klimamodellene usikre.

En ny rapport fra EMERALDs interessegruppemøter med landbruket er nå publisert. Til PDF-rapporten følger det også en nettbasert rapport skrevet for interessegruppen.

In English: A new report from EMERALD's two stakeholder meetings is now published [in Norwegian]. In addition, a web-based version of the report is tailor-made for the stakeholder group.

A new study titled "Vegetation type is an important predictor of the arctic summer land surface energy budget" is recently published in Nature Communications. Among the authors is EMERALD researchers Frans-Jan Parmentier and Norbert Pirk.

A new study titled "Strong isoprene emission response to temperature in tundra vegetation" is published in PNAS. Among the authors is LATICE researcher Norbert Pirk and both the EMERALD and LATICE projects are acknowledged in the paper.

Two EMERALD papers have recently been published in the journal Remote Sensing of Environment. One of the studies was presented by Erlandsson as an EMERALD webinar in February 2022.

I varmere klima tar dvergbjørk «valg» som påvirker klimaet tilbake. De holder på vannet når lufta er tørr – selv om det er nok vann i jorda.

Also in 2022, researchers from the EMERALD community are presenting their work at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2022 in Vienna. See the speakers and titles here.

EMERALD-forskerne Ane Vollsnes, Frode Stordal og Anders Bryn har publisert en kronikk i Nationen.

The European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2021 online brings together geoscientists from all over the world to a conference covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary and space sciences. In 2021, several researchers from the EMERALD community presented their work at this online conference.

The European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2020 online brings together geoscientists from all over the world to a conference covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary and space sciences. In 2020, several researchers from the EMERALD community presented their work at this online conference.

Den 14. juli var EMERALD-forsker Anders Bryn ved Naturhistorisk museum med som guide på tur med Klima- og Miljøminister Sveinung Rotevatn (V). Norsk Fjellsenter i Lom arrangerte tur til istunnelen ved Juvasshytta, i Dumdalsgrottene og på Sognefjellet. På kvelden var det middag og omvisning i utstillingene ved Norsk Fjellsenter - inkludert den nye utstillingen Natur i endring fra EMERALD.

EMERALD is the main partner behind a new exhibition about changes in climate and nature at the Mountain Center in Lom opening June 24th 2021. 

The 6th Conference on Modelling Hydrology, Climate and Land Surface Processes will be co-organised by EMERALD this year. The call for abstracts is open, and all researchers from the EMERALD community are welcome to  present their work at this conference.

Emerald-forskere jobber sammen om bloggen Søkelys på skogplanting på forskning.no. Siden oktober har det blitt publisert ni bloggposter, og de fleste av disse er knyttet til Emerald.

Artikkel i Aftenposten Viten fra Emerald-forskere. Mer skog i fjellet gir varmere klima, som igjen gir enda mer skog. I sommer ble det registrert trær på 1404 meter over havet.
