Less ice – more light. What will life be like in a bright, new Arctic? Earlier spring blooms mean less food in summer, when fish need it most. Polar cod in the Barents Sea are particularly vulnerable. 🧪 🌊 🦑 @oysteinvarpe.bsky.social @unibergen.bsky.social bjerknes.uib.no/en/news/en-l...

Mindre is – mer lys. Hvordan blir livet i et nytt og lysere Arktis? Tidligere algeoppblomstring betyr mindre mat om sommeren, når fisken trenger det mest. Polartorsken i Barentshavet er spesielt utsatt. @oysteinvarpe.bsky.social @bjerknes.uib.no @unibergen.bsky.social bjerknes.uib.no/aktuelt/en-l...

PhD position, Seabird Ecology, NINA, Tromsø. Part of the Arctic Ocean 2050 research program. Happy to be one of the co-advisers. Excited about that as well as the new program. I let a kittiwake with a polar cod illustrate it all. nina.attract.reachmee.com/jobs/84-phd-...

New opening for a 3-year PhD project in 'Seabird Ecology in a Changing Arctic' at the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (Tromsø) and the Arctic University of Norway (UiT). Apply before 25 Mar 2026. #seabirdscience @ninanatureresearch.bsky.social nina.attract.reachmee.com/jobs/84-phd-...

Kudos to the university library in Oslo. Forbodne bøker. Ytringsfridom. Freedom of speech. #BannedBooksWeek

Same procedure as every autumn term, kicking it of with field course at #Espegrend, our UiB field station. BIO102 Basic Ecology and Field Methods. Keen students!

Visited Runde again today. The Northern Gannets, with their long breeding season, are still around. Decent number of recruits as far as I could judge through the binoculars. Morus bassanus, havsule.

One year jubilee for this rocky shore experiment. ‪@catiamonteiro.bsky.social‬‬ and @biointeractproj.bsky.social‬ visiting the Bergen site. Treated with a generous low tide. Ascophyllum removal and responses across latitudes. #Seasonality #Espegrend

Come and work with us here in wonderful Bergen. Two PhD positions in marine evolutionary ecology. Theoretical Ecology Group, BIO, UiB www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

Rebecca Duncan @polarbecologist.bsky.social presented at UNIS (Svalbard) today - on her super fascinating PhD work, competed last year. Sea ice ecosystems, fjords, light, seasonality and ice algae. Some of her papers in posts below:

In Oslo after Easter? Go see these paintings by Axel Thorenfeldt. #Kystfugler #Seabirds #CoastalEcology - gwpa.no/nb/om-oss/ak...

View from and towards Arctic Station. Qeqertarsuaq, Disko Island, Greenland. Stranded icebergs and some newly formed and snow covered sea ice. 30 March 2025 #Arctic #ClimateNarratives

Nuuk, Greenland (Grønland) 26/27 March 2025. #Arctic #ClimateNarratives

While others “check on the island’s security” www.bbc.com/news/article... we are heading over to check on the marine ecosystem - in close collaboration with locals and dear Danish colleagues. Nuuk today. Soon at Arctic Station, Qeqertarsuaq. #ClimateNarratives Photo shows 2023 conditions

Predation experiment ongoing - part of Nadja Meister´s exciting PhD project. We checked the cages yesterday. Dogwhelks preying on blue mussels in the intertidal, near our field station #Espegrend. Mytilus edulis and Nucella lapillus

We're getting some cracking photo submissions to the Gulls Eating Stuff project! Here are a few showing gulls predating a coot chick, a vole, a mole (!) and a GBBG that has just killed an adult moorhen. Keep 'em coming! Submit your photos of gulls eating stuff to citsci.org/projects/gul....

Hi - I'd like to share this story of what is happening at NOAA GFDL, where some of my colleagues and I worked until the mass firings at NOAA last week. "...the birthplace of weather and climate forecasting"

We have tried to look into the future. @mariusarthun.bsky.social led the efforts. Several from @bjerknes.bsky.social contributed. Frida Cnossen essential in creating the elegant illustrations (e.g. Fig2 below). Barents Sea. Arctic. Sea Ice. Nansen Legacy. doi.org/10.1525/elem...

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 doi.org/10.1525/elem...

Springtime in south-facing parts of Western Norway. Vipera berus basking in the sun. -7C the night before. #microclimate #phenology ; hoggorm

Good to see the university bookshop here in Bergen featuring the Arctic. Lot´s of exciting titles

Knotted wrack Ascophyllum nodosum is called “grisetang” (“pig wrack”) in Norwegian 🐷🌱Channelled wrack, Pelvetia canaliculata, is called “sauetang” («sheep wrack») 🐑🌱 This indicates the historic importance of rockweeds as animal feed. The picture: sheep feeding on “pig wrack” 🌱🐷🐑🌱 #PhycologyFriday

Splendid keynote by Jonas Hentati-Sundberg. Clever approaches, exciting findings, and deep motivation to understand how seabirds interact with their marine environment

Backstage at the Swedish Museum of Natural History, part of Swedish Oikos Meeting 2025. Amazing tour of the skin collections
