Understanding climate for the benefit of society. BCCR is a collaboration on climate research between the University of Bergen, NORCE, The Norwegian Institute of Marine Research and Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center.
Ecosystem gas fluxes are crucial to water and energy cycling. Fluxes are measured in closed-loop chambers. But how do you deal with the data? An R package by @jogaudard.bsky.social from @unibergen.bsky.social and Bjerknes simplifies processing and comparison. Check it out! 🧪 doi.org/10.1111/2041...

How will a sudden change in the function of the ocean circulations impact Iceland, Europe, and the world?
We had a great panel at the Arctic Circle Assembly 🌊🧪
It was a scientific discussion on the likelihood, uncertainties, and possible consequences if the large ocean circulation were to shift.

This type of natural ventilation is important. The bottom water in Masfjorden has a long residence time, and the oxygen content gradually decreases. When new water flows in, it brings with it much-needed oxygen, which improves conditions for marine life in the fjord.

“The measurements from May show the conditions while the deep-water replacement is still ongoing. By June, it is more or less complete, and a larger part of the basin is filled with more oxygen-rich water,” says Lars Asplin from the Institute of Marine Research and the Bjerknes Centre.
