Doctoral candidate Lena Myklebust at the Department of Informatics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis Modeling the Electrophysiology and Mechanics of Ventricular Arrhythmia for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

Ass. Professor Nicolas Valiente Parra will give a seminar on: Microbial metabolism: the central force driving greenhouse gas emissions in lakes.

This talk explores how microbial metabolism regulates greenhouse gas emissions in lakes, highlighting its central role in carbon and nitrogen cycling across northern ecosystems. By connecting microbial-scale processes to ecosystem-level, the work directly contributes to CBA’s mission of understanding and predicting climate change feedbacks.

Title: Volcanic radiative forcing of climate: past and future

Speaker: Anja Schmidt, German Aerospace Center

This week, Maxim Kartamyshev from Norges Bank Investment Management ("Oljefondet") will tell us about the use of Quantum Technology in Finance:

We remind you and welcome you all to the Kick-off seminar for BiLS: Bioinformatics in Life Science. Friday, May 16th at 12:00-14:00.

How does finance and oil mix? This is the topic of the next gathering of the Oil & Society research network.

Colonization by meiofauna of sediments contaminated with the fluoroquinolone antibiotic ciprofloxacin

by Joanna Dziadkowiec

NJORD, UiO

Recipient of the Else-Ragnhild Neumann Award 2024

Title:  Simulation of atmospheric chemistry with NorESM

Speaker: Dirk Olivie, MET Norway

Join us at the dScience Lunch Seminar where Andreas Carlson, Professor at the Department of Mathematics, will present how fiber geometry can be used to control droplet flow. He will discuss how droplets move on fibers, the flow regimes on twisted fibers, and how these insights can be applied to improve water harvesting with fog nets.
