First insights into the evolutionary processes of local adaptation and genetic drift in Calanus finmarchicus and C. glacialis

Title: Everything, everywhere, all at once: land surface models and the challenge of predicting a heterogenous, biological world.

Speaker: Rosie Fisher, CICERO

Catfished: Bio-surveying the Akobo River Highlands and Curating the East African Database ‘Fishtopia’

How can we integrate complex models with real-world data under uncertainty? At this week’s dScience Lunch Seminar, Berent Ånund Strømnes Lunde from Equinor will discuss ensemble-based data assimilation, a method used in fields like weather forecasting and subsurface modeling. He will introduce the Ensemble Information Filter (EnIF), an approach that improves statistical efficiency, removes ad-hoc localization, and addresses key challenges in large-scale systems. Join us for a discussion on the future of data assimilation and its applications.

Mauro Di Nasso, University of Pisa, will give a talk in the Logic Seminar

Join us for an evening with short talks from young researchers. Grab some snacks and learn about exciting research in sustainable energy and the energy transition. This event is open to everyone - bring friends and family for an evening of interesting talks from inspiring scientists.

Doctoral candidate Anna Piterskaya at the Department of Mathematics will be defending the thesis Plasma Instabilities and Turbulence with Magneto-Hydrodynamics and Spectral Numerical Simulations for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

The exhibition explores the relationship between climate change and societal change during the Little Ice Age and asks: Can we learn something from a 300-year-old climate crisis?

Generate a data management plan for a Life Science research project that will meet the requirements of Norwegian institutions

Five master's students will give presentations of their master's:

How do we communicate with chatbots, and how does artificial intelligence influence democracy? Join us at the dScience Lunch Seminar at the Science Library for a discussion on these pressing questions. Linguists Ingrid Lossius Falkum and Nicholas Allott will explore how humans perceive and interact with AI-powered language models, while political scientist Rune Karlsen will present research from the KnowAI project, investigating AI’s role in shaping political knowledge, public opinion, and democratic processes.
