In the first week of May, 31 international Ph.D. students in polar climate science got the opportunity to learn about atmosphere-ice-ocean interaction and experience the polar climate on Svalbard. Due to the diversity of lecturers in this winter school, both…
The CHESS workshop “Writing successful project proposals” was held from 2-3 May 2022 at GFI/Bjerknessenter in Bergen. A total of 17 participants joined the workshop. The main objective of the course was to enable early-career climate scientists to successfully apply…
The 20th of April, 14 students and a lecture team took the train to Finse to spend a week at the Alpine Research Center for the IceFinse course. Here they practised glacier safety and got an introduction to glaciological field…
In March, 16 PhD students of UiB, UiT and UiO attended a 5-day course on scientific illustration taught by Pina Kingman at GFI in Bergen. We studied design principles, color theory and the use of illustration software such as Adobe…
In the month of November 2021 around 30 students and lecturers attended the ACDC/CHESS One Ocean field course in the Caribbean onboard the tall ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl. Our voyage started in Curaçao with a stop in Jamaica and ended in…
With the present-day remarkable computing speeds used in the Earth system models and super-sensitive measurement techniques for collecting observational data, it is the need of the hour to combine both these in a way that they complement and improve each…
The “Advanced Statistics Training for Climate Research” course took place at the Geophysics Institute at the University of Bergen from 26-29 October 2021. The course was delivered by Prof. David Stephenson and Dr. Stefan Siegert from the Department of Mathematics…
While it is possible to directly measure parameters related to the climate of today, we cannot do so for the past. In order to reconstruct paleoclimate, we rely on multiple different methods to indirectly investigate past conditions. One tool in…
CHESS is training the climate scientists of tomorrow, iEarth is changing teaching culture in Norwegian geosciences. Naturally, PhD students from both centers have a lot to talk about, and that they are coming at it from different angles makes it…
The CHESS course “Integral projection models (IPM): From population ecology to climate change studies” was held from Monday 30th of August to Friday 3rd of September 2021 in a semi-virtual and in-person format. There was a total of 4 main…
