🧪🌊 Become a researcher within physical ocenography in the Arctic Ocean & the North Atlantic!
In our series with available positions, next one out is this one connected to the national research program @arcticocean2050.bsky.social
Supervisor: @mariusarthun.bsky.social
Come join us in Bergen!
🌊Where and how is dense water in the Arctic formed? In our new paper, we decompose the Arctic overturning circulation (ArMOC), the northernmost part of the AMOC. Check it out 🔽

Come join us! PhD position at @unibergen.bsky.social and @bjerknes.uib.no on freshwater transport from the Arctic Ocean and its impacts on the Nordic Seas and subpolar overturning circulation. The position is part of the national Arctic Ocean 2050 program.

Thirty years of in situ observations indicate that a vital ocean current is losing its chill, transporting warmer water to the Arctic. 🌊🧪 ocean2climate.org/2026/01/05/a...
Line graph time series of 2025's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to each year from 1979 to 2024 as shown with thin lines in colors from purple to white. There is large daily variability, but a long-term decreasing trend during all months of the year. A seasonal cycle is also visible in this region.
Ice-free conditions continue in the Barents Sea region of the #Arctic Ocean. This is one area that has observed some of the largest losses of ice over the last few decades... compare the older years (dark/purple lines) to today!

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.
Newly published study led by @leonchafik.bsky.social finds that anomalies in temperature and salinity that originate in the midlatitude North Atlantic can affect the #AMOC in the Nordic Seas up to a decade later.❗️ 🌊

@stockholm-uni.bsky.social
Nice paper led by @leonchafik.bsky.social on the North Atlantic-Nordic Seas overturning circulation.
The Arctic Ocean acts to stabilize the AMOC
New paper in #ScienceAdvances by researchers from @bjerknes.uib.no and @oxuniearthsci.bsky.social showing how ongoing Atlantification and sea ice loss leads to a strengthening of the Arctic overturning circulation.

Very cool article about Kjetil Våge’s ROVER project and how the Nordic Seas could help to decide the fate of the AMOC.

New paper: The future Barents Sea-A synthesis of physical, biogeochemical, and ecological changes toward 2050 and 2100
Very nice interdisiplinary Nansen Legacy effort, including @jakobdoerr.bsky.social @islarsh.bsky.social @khuongdinh.bsky.social

Brilliant! Help Denmark buy California! Because why not...? denmarkification.com
Deadline day tomorrow! Solicited talk by @rahmstorf.bsky.social about future AMOC weakening.
In our project "Overturning circulation in the new Arctic" (ArMOC) we have deployed two Argo floats in the Arctic (north of Svalbard). A short story on the mission of Knoll & Tott here:

With Stefanie Semper, Birgit Rinde and @jakobdoerr.bsky.social
And for those interested in future ocean circulation changes. Join us at #EGU25 to find out more.

Could the AMOC collapse and Bergen become 20 degrees colder (imagine the snow we would get!)? This and more in the latest Bjerknes podcast.
The Barents Sea is a hotspot for ongoing Arctic climate change and could be 7C warmer by 2100. Check out our amazing fact sheets from the Nansen Legacy project! arvenetternansen.com/fact-sheets-...
A good opportunity for a first post. Come work with us!
